Your Kart will provide you with many years of service and pleasure.Providing
you take responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges you can
meet while driving.
There is much that you can do to protect yourself while operating your kart. You'll
find many helpful recommendations throughout this manual. The following are a
few that we consider most important.
Follow the Age Recommendation
Adult Supervision should be present for all people under the age of 16.
Always Wear a Helmet
It's a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of head injuries.
Always wear an approved motorcycle helmet. We also recommend that you wear eye
protection, sturdy boots, gloves, and other protective gear.
Drive Off-Road Only
Your Kart is designed and manufactured for off-road use only. The tires are not
made for pavement, and the Kart does not have turn signals and other features
required for use on public roads. If you need to cross a paved or public road, get off and
walk your Kart across.
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have driven other Karts, take time to become familiar with how this
Kart works and handles. Practice in a safe area until you build your skills and get
accustomed to this Kart
's
size and weight.
Because many accidents involve inexperienced or untrained drivers, we urge all drivers
to take a training course approved by the Go-Kart Safety Institute. Check with your dealer
for more information on training courses.
Be Alert of Off-Road Hazards
The terrain can present a variety of challenges when you drive off-road. Continually
"read" the terrain for unexpected turns, drop-offs, rocks, ruts, and other hazards. Always
keep your speed low enough to allow time to see and react to hazards.
