3.4.2 Crank assembly
After use of a few days (of intensive use) or two weeks (normal use) the bolts (picture 3) with which
the left and right cranks are mounted, have to be tightened again. Make sure that this is done
'hand-tight', i.e. with a maximum torque of 30 Nm.
3.4.3 Automatic Freewheel (AF)
The automatic freewheel causes the pedals to stop when you do not move your feet. The automatic
freewheel also allows you to drive in reverse. If the automatic freewheel does not function at all it
can be taken off the frame. After that the black plastic cover can be taken off.
The inside can be cleaned with water. Make sure the inside is really dry after cleaning (for instance,
by using a hairdryer) in order to prevent corrosion. After this the inside should be lubricated lightly
(preferably with a silicone spray). The black cover can now be put back on again.
Make sure the rubber ring is greased lightly (for instance with vaseline) before the freewheel is
mounted to the frame. Attention: too much grease is bad for the automatic freewheel. After
mounting, check if the freewheel is functioning properly before using the BERG go-kart. This is
done by rotating the pedals backward and forward. In both cases the rear wheel should be driven.
Make sure that when changing from forwards to backwards the wheel should have come to a full
stop in between. The wheel nut needs to be well tightened.
3.5 Plastic Parts
The plastic parts will have to be checked regularly for damage and breaking. If breaking occurs, the
specific part should be replaced immediately by an original part in order to guarantee the safety of
the user.
3.6 Lubrication
Some BERG go-carts are equipped with grease nipples on the stub axle bushes. It is
recommended to grease the stub axles 1 to 2 times per year. (picture 4)
