11. Transport of the kart
If the carburetor is still filled with fuel, the transport of the kart is only allowed to be transported in a
horizontal position.
If the kart is to be transported in a vertical position, the fuel must be drained from the carburetor
first.
◆
Note:
If the kart is in a vertical position at transport, the remaining fuel in the carburetor
might flow into the crankcase with the result that the engine won’t start at next try.

fuel in a suitable container.

Clean drain screw and refit.
12. Preservation of engine and equipment
For longer periods out of operation (winter time), make sure that the engine will be properly
preserved.
➩
Detach carburetor, drain fuel from carburetor and close carburetor openings to
ensure that no dust or dirt can enter.

Achtung:
If the vehicle gets stored at temperatures below the freezing temperature the cooling
system must be filled with a mixture of distilled water and a aluminium-compatible
antifreeze. The mixture must ensure protection against freezing to a temperature of
– 20 °C / -4 ° F. Not following this will lead to engine damage ( e.g. breakage of
cylinder).
