IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your Go-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 when you drive. You’ll find many helpful
recommendations throughout this manual. The following are a few that we consider most important.
Follow the Age Recommendation
It is strongly recommended that no one under the age of 16 be permitted to drive this Go-Kart
without adult supervision.
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 Go-Kart is designed and manufactured for off-road use only. The tires are not made for
pavement, and the Go-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 Go-Kart across.
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have derived other Go-Kart, take time to become familiar with how this Go-Kart works
and handles. Practice in a safe area until you build your skills and get accustomed to this Go-Kart’s
size and weight.
Because many accidents involve inexperienced or untrained drives, 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 for 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.
