● Tighten the screws (1) to 8 Nm.
5.4 - Adjustment of seat
The position of the centre of gravity has also a key influence
on the behaviour of the kart.
The centre of gravity can be monitored by changing the
position of the seat.
This position affects the masses distribution between the
front and rear axle.
It directly affects the understeering or oversteered chassis
behaviour.
Depending on your weight, your height, your riding style, the
ideal position may change a little.
Compared to the standard position in Assembly of the seat,
p. 10 , moving the seat has the following effects:
1) Seat moved forward
● Gives more grip on the front wheels (more sliding of the
rear wheels).
● Allows to correct the lack of precision of the front wheel,
but delays the moment when it is possible to accelerate
into the turn (rear more slippery).
2) Seat moved backwards
● Less grip on the front wheels.
● More grip on the rear wheels.
3) Seat lower
● Less grip (front and rear wheels).
● T o try on very high grip conditions.
4) Seat higher
● Increases the grip.
● T o be tried in wet conditions.
● Always use a seat tightener. One on the left
hand side and one on the right hand side give
an optimal performance on almost all types of
tracks.
5.5 - Adjustment of the brake distributor
The brake distributor allow to monitor the bracking power
between the front and rear brakes.

pump.
● The kart will brake more with the front brakes.

● Turn the handle (1) towards the clockwise direction.
● The brake distributor (2) moves towards the rear brake
pump.
● The kart will brake more with the rear brake.
► The brake system is a key safety item of the
kart. Regularly check all its components.
► In case of doubt, do not drive before fixing
the problem.
► Bad maintenance of the brakes can lead to
severe, even fatal injuries.
► Never repair a break system on your own;
return it to your local dealer.
