❍
At this time, please review the following items: the boxed
“
NOTE
” in bold type near the top of the Components Check-
list; the section entitled “CHAIN GUARD” on page 3 of this
booklet; and “ABOUT THIS KIT’S CONTENTS” in the first
paragraph of page 4 of this booklet.
•
One purpose of a Chain Guard is to prevent injury to
riders and/or bystanders as a result of the chain break-
ing and then flying up or out from the sprockets.
•
A chain guard may, but is
NOT
guaranteed to prevent
items from becoming entangled in the chain or sprockets
during operation. Examples: scarves, baggy, loose or long
clothing, shoelaces, etc. Such entanglements could cause
serious injury, such as throwing a rider from the mini-
bike, choking, etc. Even with the required chain guard in
place, these and similar items should not be worn nor in
any manner brought into the area of any moving parts
during operation.
❍
Procurement and installation of an appropriate chain guard,
fabricated to fit your engine-sprocket drive system and that
covers the chain and both sprockets is MANDATORY.
