OPERATING THE GO KART
OPERATING IN COLD WEATHER PRE
RIDE INSPECTION
Brake and throttle linkages:
Cold weather requires additional pre-ride
inspection of the Go Kart before
operating. Inspect brake and throttle
linkages making sure they operate freely
and correctly. Ice and snow can cause
these items to freeze. If the linkages are
frozen, move the Go Kart to a warm area
until these items thaw and work properly.
Frozen tires:
Check to make sure the Go Kart tires are
not frozen to the ground, if they are, pour
warm water around the tires to release.
Do not attempt to break the Go Kart
loose using engine power, this could
damage the engine and drive train.
Brake inspection:
Start engine and allow to warm up.
‘
Check the braking ability of the Go Kart
by applying the brakes on level ground
while traveling at a slow (walking rate)
of speed. Make sure both front and rear
brakes work properly.
If the front , rear, or both sets of brakes
do not work, take the Go Kart to a warm
area to thaw out. Once brakes are thawed,
check again for proper operation, if they
still do not work, take the Go Kart to a
authorized service center. Do not attempt
to operate the Go Kart with brakes that
do not work correctly,
Preventive maintenance in cold weather
operating is important, after operating in
cold weather with snow, slush, water or
ice, dry off the Go Kart including brake
and throttle linkages. Apply the brakes
several times making sure that the
friction has dried off the brake pads and
shoes. Cover the Go Kart with a
protective cover so ice and snow cannot
accumulate .
CAUTION
Using engine power to release wheels
that are frozen to the ground could
damage Go Kart.
Damage to engine and drive train may
occur if attempting to use engine power
to free frozen wheels.
Always make sure wheels move freely
before starting the Go Kart in cold
weather.

loss of control which could result in
severe injury or death.

ride by following the procedures in this
manual.
