2.1 Maintenance scheme

Daily

Wheels/Tires

Check for damage and
tire pressure.

2.2 Maintenance activities

2.2.1 Frame

The frame is powder-coated and the fasteners are 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 and wear). ATTENTION:
damaged rims and tires can lead to accidents! The correct tire pressure is shown on the outside of
the tire (PSI 29/BAR2.0). If the tires are at the correct pressure the product will be light 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 off the rim resulting in dangerous
situations. ATTENTION: remember that in bright sunlight and at high temperatures the tire pressure
increases! The tires may not get into contact with oil, grease or fuel. Make sure that the valve caps
are always fitted on the valves.

2.2.3 Turning mechanism

The turning mechanism must be checked every month for the following:
• Damage and/or wear and tear to the turning mechanism.
• 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 one chain, which needs proper maintenance. Make sure
that the chain is sufficiently oiled so it 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 chain and
sprocket, among other things, will occur faster. If a chain is not tight enough, the chain can easily
come off the sprocket, or there is a chance of damage to the chain housing. To tension the chain:
• The protecting cover has to be removed to grease the chain and check the chain tension.
• Remove the nuts of the hub.
• Tension the chain by moving the hub.
• Tighten the hub nuts again.
• The chain has the correct tension if the middle can be pushed 6 millimetres downwards
