2.2 Maintenance activities

2.2.1 Frame
The frame is powder-coated or black zinc plated. To prevent any rust forming it is important
to regularly clean the frame. If you want to conserve the frame with grease, only use acid free
substances. You can treat damaged areas with paint.
2.2.2 Wheels/tires
Regularly check the rims and tires for any damage (for example cuts, cracks and bulges).
Attention: damaged rims and tires can lead to accidents! The correct tire pressure is shown on the
outside of the tire PSI 28/BAR
and easy to handle. If the pressure is too low, the tires will leak quicker and will suffer excessive wear
and tear. If the tire pressure is too high, the tire can for example come away from the rim, resulting
in dangerous situations. Attention: remember that in bright sunlight and at high temperatures the
tire pressure increases! The tires must not come into contact with oil, grease or fuel. Make sure that
the valve caps are always fitted on the valves.
2.2.3 Steering
The steering equipment must be checked every month for the following:
• Damage and/or wear and tear to steering equipment.
• All the nuts and bolts must be tightened.
2.2.4 Driving mechanism
2.2.4.1 Chain
The product has a driving mechanism with two chains. Make sure that the chains are sufficiently
oiled so that they can run smoothly. If a chain is too tightly tensioned, the go-kart will be more
difficult to pedal and there is a big chance that wear and tear of the chains and sprocket, among
other things, will occur faster. If a chain is not tight enough, then the chain can easily come off the
sprocket, or there is a chance of damage to the chain housing. When both chains must be tensioned,
always begin with the rear/short chain. To tension the rear chain:
• Remove the protective hood and loosen the nuts of the hub.
• Tension the chain by moving the hub forwards. Make sure that the hub remains exactly parallel to
the rear axle.
• Tighten the hub nuts again.
• The chain has the correct tension if the middle can be pushed 6 millimeters downwards.
