OPERATING THE GO KART
CLIMBING A HILL

attempting to climb. Make sure the hill is
not too steep, the terrain is not loose or
slippery and that there are no obstacles.
2. Approach the hill at a steady speed
and maintain speed throughout the climb.
3. When approaching the top of the hill,
slow down.
If it is determined that the Go Kart will not
make it to the top of the hill:
1. Do not try to turn the Go Kart around
while operating and come back down, this
could cause the Go Kart to roll over.
2. Slowly back the Go Kart down the hill
while applying the brakes.
DESCENDING A HILL

attempting to descend. Make sure the hill
is not too steep, the terrain is not loose or
slippery and that there are no obstacles.

over. Instead, go straight down the hill.
