4.0 Maintenance
4.1 Frame
The frame is powder coated. This creates a hard coating. To prevent corrosion it is important
to regularly clean the frame. Should you want to grease the frame for the purpose of
conservation, only use acid-free vaseline. Minor damage may be restored with some paint.
The right varnish may be obtained from your dealer.
4.2 Wheels/Tyres
Wheels may have either needle bearings (picture 4a) or ball
bearings (picture 4b). Needle bearings should be cleaned and
lubricated once a year to make the wheels run smoothly.
Regularly check the wheel rims and tyres for damage (cuts, tears,
bumps) Attention: damage to rims and tyres may cause accidents!
Tyre pressure should be 1 bar at least and 1.5 bar max.
(Remember pressure increases at high temperatures). At the right
pressure, the go-kart runs smoothly and lightly.
If there is not enough pressure the tyres tend to get punctured more
easily and excessive wear and tear occurs.
If there is too much pressure the tyre can come loose. This may
lead to dangerous situations. (Be aware that pressure increases
under high temperatures and in blazing sun!)
Tyres should not get into contact with oil, grease or fuel.
Make sure the valve caps are always on.
4.3 Steerage
Steerage should regularly be greased for it to run smoothly.
For the adjustable wheel it is important that the identifying mark on
the side of the inner control tube is not visible. I f it is visible, the
inner control tube should be pushed back (picture 5a).
Steerage of every BERG go-kart needs to be checked once a
month for the following:
-
breaking and/or damage of all parts of the steerage
-
controls (lubricate all rotation points)
-
alignment front wheels (see pictures next page) for models with
double ball steerage
- stuck
bolts
