PRE-RIDE INSPECTION
WARNING - Perform this pre-ride inspection everyday before
riding the vehicle. If not performed, serious damage to the
vehicle and personal injury may result.
1. Engine Oil Level – Add oil if required. Check for leaks. Tighten filler cap securely.
2. Fuel Level – Add fuel if necessary. Do not overfill (no fuel in filler neck). Replace cap tightly.
Check for leaks. Do not mix oil with gas. Only refuel when engine is off and cool.
3. Brakes – Perform a Brake Test: Sit in the vehicle with the brake actuated by pressing on the
brake pedal. Start the engine with the ignition switch on. Increase the engine RPM gradually
to ensure the brake is effective. Do not operate this Go-Kart unless the brake is working
properly.
4. Tires – Check conditions and pressure.
5. Drive Chain – Check condition, tension, lubricate as necessary.
6. Throttle – Check for smooth operation. Assure throttle “snaps” back to idle. Also, check for
frayed cable or damaged cable conduit. If either condition exists replace the cable assembly
before riding.
7. Stop Switch – Perform this stop switch test. While the engine is running, move the steering
column remote stop switch to the “OFF” position. If this does not stop the engine, move the
engine remote switch to the “OFF” position. If the engine is not equipped with an engine
remote switch, pull the spark plug wire. Check to insure that the stop switch wire is attached
to the terminal on the engine. Do not operate this vehicle with a stop switch that is not
functioning properly.
8. All Nuts, Bolts and Fasteners – Check wheels to assure that all axle nuts and lug nuts are
tightened properly. Check and tighten all other fasteners as necessary. Regularly check set
screws on sprockets and drum.
9. Guards – Ensure all protective guards are in place. Never remove any chain guard, or
clutch guard. Each of these covers have a protective purpose, if removed it could endanger
the personal safety of the operator or passenger.
10. Steering System – Ensure that it turns freely.
