Is the Go-kart Ready to Ride?
Before each and every ride you take, it is extremely important that you inspect the go-kart and
make sure any problems you find are corrected. A pre-ride inspection is a must because off-road
riding can be very tough on the go-kart and you do not want to have a breakdown far from help.
Improperly maintaining your go-kart or failing to correct a problem before
riding can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Always perform a pre-ride
inspection before any ride and correct any problems.
Note to Parents: If a youngster will be performing any of the following pre-ride inspection procedures, it is
your responsibility to provide careful supervision and make sure they are performed correctly.
Pre-ride Inspection
Check the following items before you get on the go-kart:
Tires - Use a tire pressure gauge to check the air pressure (10-15 PSI). Inflate or deflate as needed.
Also check for signs of damage or excessive wear.
Rims - Inspect the rim to be sure it is not bent or damaged.
Leaks - Look under the go-kart for signs of leaking fluid such as engine oil or gasoline.
Engine Oil - Check the level of engine oil and add if needed.
Fuel - Check the level of fuel in the gas tank. Add if needed. Be sure the gas cap is tightened securely.
Drive Chain - Inspect the drive chain condition and slack. Adjust and lubricate if needed. For detailed
instructions on drive chain slack adjustment, see the Basic Maintenance Procedures section of this
manual.
Spark Plug - Check the spark plug for looseness. Tighten if needed. Be sure the cap is fastened to the
spark plug properly.
Nuts & Bolts - Look over entire go-kart for loose nuts and bolts. Tighten if needed.
Check the following items after you get on the go-kart:
Steering Wheel - Be sure go-kart steers freely and the steering wheel is properly secured.
Gas Pedal - Push the gas pedal to be sure it moves easily and freely. Make sure that it returns to the
up position when you release it in all steering positions.
Brakes - Press down on the brake pedal to be sure the brakes are working properly.
Remember, make sure you or your Authorized Monster Moto Service Center correct any problems
before you ride the go-kart.
