Maintaining Your MMK80 Go-kart
Keeping your go-kart in perfect operating condition is absolutely essential to your safety. It is also
the best way to protect your investment, get maximum performance, avoid breakdowns and have
more fun. To help keep your go-kart well maintained, this section includes a maintenance schedule
for required servicing and step-by-step instructions on how to perform specific maintenance tasks.
In this section you will also find important safety precautions and tips for keeping your Monster Moto
go-kart looking good.
Careful pre-ride inspections and good maintenance are invaluable. The service intervals in this
section are based on average riding conditions. More frequent service is needed if you subject your
go-kart to severe use, or ride in unusually wet and dusty areas. Frequent checks of the air cleaner are
very important to help you avoid engine damage.
Improperly maintaining this go-kart or failing to correct a problem before you ride
can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Always follow the inspection and main-
tenance recommendations and schedules in this manual.
Remember, proper maintenance is the responsibility of the owner. Be sure to inspect your go-kart
before each ride and follow the maintenance schedule in this section.
Note to Parents: As a parent, it is up to you to make sure the go-kart is properly maintained and kept in
safe operating condition. For youngsters, learning how to take care of a go-kart and perform basic main-
tenance can be an important part of their riding experience. However, if you allow a youngster to perform
or assist in any maintenance task, such as filling the tank with gasoline, you need to provide close supervi-
sion and make sure the task is performed correctly.
Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions and precautions can cause you
to be seriously hurt or killed. Always follow the procedures and precautions in this manual.
Important Safety Precautions
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs. This will help eliminate the
following hazards:
1.
Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust
- Be sure you have adequate ventilation
whenever you operate the engine.
2.
Burns from hot go-kart parts
- Let the engine and exhaust system cool off before you
touch them.
3.
Injury from moving parts
- Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.
Read all instructions before you begin a procedure. Make sure you have all of the tools and skills re-
quired. Park the go-kart on level ground and put small blocks of wood in front of, and behind, one or
two of the wheels to keep it from moving. To reduce the chance of a fire or explosion, be careful when
working around gasoline. Use only a non-flammable (high flash point) solvent such as kerosene or
mineral spirits to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks and flames away from all fuel related parts.
