3.2 Maintenance activities
3.2.1 Frame
The frame is powder-coated or black zinc plated. To prevent rust forming it is important to not keep the
pedal go-kart outside for a long time during rain and clean the frame regularly. If you want to conserve
the frame with grease, only use acid free substances. You can treat damaged areas with paint.
Check the bolts and nuts for rust and replace them to prevent them from breaking which can cause
injuries.
3.2.2 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 tires must not come into contact with oil, grease or
fuel.
The correct tire pressure is shown on the outside of the tire. 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 loose
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.
