PROPER CARE IN THE “OFF SEASON”:

Some go-kart tracks do not operate all year long. For this reason, J&J Inc. has prepared this information on how to properly

condition your go-kart

eet for periods of storage or inactivity. We urge you to follow the simple instructions and advice

contained here, referencing speci

c model information from your owners service manual to maintain the highest level of

safety and preserve the value of your investment.

OIL CHANGE:

Change the engine and reduction case oil, follow the viscosity chart in your owner/service manual. Start engine and allow

the clean oil to circulate throughout engine for approximately 3 minutes. Remove spark plug and pour about a tablespoon

of clean engine oil into the cylinder. Crank engine several revolutions to distribute oil, then reinstall spark plug.

BRAKE FLUID:

If the annual brake

uid change has not been performed recently, it is advisable to change the brake

uid, as contaminated

uid will cause corrosion and deterioration of the hydraulic brake system. Fluid should be light amber in color. If it is dark

or cloudy, the system must be

ushed and

uid renewed.

FUEL TANK:

Drain the fuel tank to remove any moisture or contaminants. Clean and drain carburetor

oat bowl before storing to

prevent deposits caused by fuel that evaporates over time.

CLEANING AND WAXING:

Storing a dirty go-kart can lead to corrosion, because dirt retains moisture. Thoroughly wash and dry go-kart. Polish and

wax all painted/gel coat surfaces. Spray the unpainted castings such as engine, reduction gear case, spindles and related

hardware with a corrosion protectant to retard corrosion and rust.

TIRES:

ate tires to the recommended pressures and inspect.

CHASSIS LUBRICATION:

Grease spindles, axle bearings, rod ends, throttle arm pivot and pedal pivots to purge any water or contaminants from

these pivot points. Treat other pivots, when no grease

ttings are provided, with water-displacing light lubricant spray.

STORAGE AREA AND COVERING:

Select a storage area such as a garage or storage room that is free from dampness and high humidity. The daily temperature

change should be minimal. Do not store in direct sunlight, open

ames or sparks. Selecting the proper cover is important.

A non vented, airtight cover may lead to corrosion and rust due to trapped moisture/vapor. Use a vented cover, which will

allow moisture to escape rather than retaining it.

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely

ammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. Make sure the area is well

ventilated and free from any source of

ame or sparks.
