CLEANING Go karts
CLEANING KART BODIES
The best way to preserve your go karts’
fi
nish is to keep it clean by washing it often with lukewarm or cold water.
Don’t wash your kart in the direct rays of the sun. Don’t use strong soaps or chemical detergents. Use liquid hand, dish or
car washing (mild detergent) soaps. Don’t use cleaning agents that contain acid or abrasives. All cleaning agents should
be
fl
ushed promptly and not allowed to dry on the surface, or they could stain. Dry the
fi
nish with a soft, clean chamois
or a 100% cotton towel to avoid surface scratches and water spotting.
NOTE:
Do not damage warning decals. Damaged or illegible warning decals must be replaced immediately.
FINISH CARE
Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your karts may be necessary to remove residue from the
fi
nish. Use an approved
fi
berglass polish. 303 Protectant can be used on clean go-kart bodies to act as a UV protectant.
NOTE:
Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on the body may dull the
fi
nish or leave swirl marks.
BODY TRIM
Silicone grease on body trims will make them last longer. Apply silicone grease with a clean cloth at least three times per
season. During very cold, damp weather, more frequent application may be required.
FINISH DAMAGE
Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the
fi
nish should be repaired right away. Minor chips and scratches can
be repaired with materials available from almost any auto parts store. Larger areas of
fi
nish damage can be corrected by
a local body and paint shop.
CHEMICAL SPOTTING & SUN FADING
Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a chemical fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall upon and attack the
surfaces on your kart. This damage can take two forms: blotchy, ringlet-shaped discolorations, and small irregular dark
spots etched into the paint surface.
CLEANING FRAMES
Remove bodies weekly for frame cleaning and inspection.
Using a pressure washer, clean the entire frame of any dirt or grease that might have collected.
After spraying o
ff
the frame and wiping it dry, grease all the zerk
fi
ttings with good quality grease. Spray a rust inhibitor
on all linkage rods, tie rod ends, springs or any unpainted surfaces.
WARNING
Do not spray brake disc or caliper. This will cause a loss of brakes and could cause an accident.
