blokart POD User manual
POD
Channel Type - XPD0320
Warmer, dryer, faster! An ingenuous idea from
the team at Blokart, the Pod quickly turns your
kart into an all weather racing machine.
Dust, dirt, sand, rain and snow are no longer
an excuse to stay at home.
Reduced wind resistance significantly
improves performance and the
improved comfort allows
you to enjoy sailing longer.
Assembly Instructions
1. Set-up your Blokart, but do not
insert the handlebar. Unpack the
Pod, including the Skin, Windscreen,
Footbar, Strap and Bungees.
2.Remove the front fork from
the kart by undoing the
quick-release clamp and
retaining pin and slide the
fork out.
Please follow the assembly instructions carefully to attach the Pod
correctly.
3. Slip the Footbar under the keel tube and attach it with the quick-release clamp. Wrap
the long bungee loop around the front of the keel as shown and while holding the plastic
bead stretch the bungee around the fork tube to further hold the Footbar in place.
4.Slide the skin under the chassis. Locate the hole in the front of the skin with the fork
tube but do not pull the skin over the Footbar yet.
5. Fit the Pod tension strap by looping the strap over the nose
frame and threading the straps back through the loop as
pictured.
6. Ensure the Pod Skin nose buckle is undone and pull the front
of the skin over the Footbar and attach the Pod skin buckle
through the loop in the strap but do not over-tighten.
7. Loop the remaining strap around the Mast Base above the tri-
knobs, rethread the ladder-lock and tighten. This helps to stabilise the Pod Windscreen.
8. Replace the front fork and insert handle bar, ensuring the fork retaining pin is in place
and the Quick Release Clamp is suitably tightened.
9. Remove the right axle and pass the right strap at the
rear of the skin around the right side of the chassis as
shown. Replace axle and then repeat process on the
right side but do not tighten the rear ladder
lock yet.
10. Raise the triangular panel at the rear of the Pod Skin ensuring it is on the outside
of the strap across the back of the Pod, then thread the short bungee through the
back of the webbing loop on top of the skin and hook over the pulley-whip socket,
followed by the plastic bead over the pulley-whip socket. This will give good tension.
Pull the plastic bead to one side for head clearance.
Note: When folding seat down with skin on, de-tension skin by unhooking only the
plastic bead to prevent damage from over tensioning.
11. Lift up a side of the skin, and and with a plastic bead threaded from front to back
through the webbing loop, lift the bead and loop over the side strut and push the
plastic bead under the foot bar from the outside and slide it toward the back of the
kart to lock in
place.
12. Repeat on other side, then lift bungee up and over mast
base to tension both sides evenly and together.
13. Tighten the Pod skin for a neat fit by pulling the rear ladder lock strap behind the
seat.
14. Carefully peel the protective plastic from both sides of the windscreen.
Some prefer to leave the white film on the inside to preserve the
screen for a while longer.
15. Attach the windscreen to the skin using Channel and bolt rope. Always
ensure the Channel and the bolt rope on the skin are clean and free from
sand and grit before fitting. A small amount of dry silicone lubricant may be
used to aid with fitting. This should be applied to the inside of the channel
rather than the skin.
16. Starting at the front of the kart, push the front wheel fully to one side so it
is out of the way. Stand on front wheel to lay over to allow screen clearance
and also restrain the chassis from rolling back when fitting the screen.
17. With the black trim and BK logo on the windscreen facing out, slide both sides of
the channel on evenly and work your way up as smoothly as possible.
18. If / when it becomes difficult, lift the top of the screen up with one hand to
straighten skin and use other to slide / bump the lid up with other hand at the nose.
Fine adjustments can be made to the seating of the pod windscreen by pulling one
side up at a time when nearing the top.
19. Fit your Pod Protector Bar (if you have one)…… and go sailing!
Important:
-Never fit the Pod windscreen upside down or roll the opposite to the way that it fits the
Pod and never roll it lengthways. The Channels must remain straight at all times.
-The Pod windscreen is the same shape as the Blokart bag so pack the screen on top of
your kart when transporting.
-Avoid scratching the Pod windscreen as scratches will be permanent.
-Capsizing on hard surfaces without a Pod Protector Bar will result in Pod damage.
Accessory Tip: Help protect the nose
of your Pod with a“Pod Protector Bar”
