Kart.
To help you make informed decisions about safety, we have provided operating procedures
and other information on labels and in this manual. This information alerts you to potential
hazards that could hurt you or others.
It is not practical or possible to warn you about all hazards associated with operating or
maintaining a Kart. You must use your own good judgment.
You will find important safety information in a variety of forms, including:
S fety L bels – On the Kart
S fety Mess ges – Preceded by a safety alert symbol and one of two signal words: WARNING,
or CAUTION.
These sign l words me n:

responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges you can meet while driving.
There is much that you can do to protect yourself while operating your kart. You’ll find many
helpful recommendations throughout this manual. The following are a few that we consider most
important.
Follow the Age Recommend tion

Alw ys We r DOT or Snell pproved Motorcycle type Helmet
It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of head injuries. Always
wear an approved motorcycle helmet. We also recommend that you wear eye protection, sturdy
boots, gloves, and other protective gear.
Drive Off-Ro d Only
Your Kart is designed and manufactured for off-road use only. The tires are not made for
pavement, and the Kart does not have turn signals and other features required for use on public
roads. If you need to cross a paved or public road, get off and walk your Kart across.
T ke Time to Le rn & Pr ctice
Even if you have driven other Karts, take time to become familiar with how this Kart works
and handles. Practice in a safe area until you build your skills and get accustomed to this Kart’s
size and weight.
Because many accidents involve inexperienced or untrained drivers, we urge all drivers to
take a training course approved by the Go-Kart Safety Institute. Check with your dealer for more
information on training courses.
Be Alert for Off-Ro d H z rds
The terrain can present a variety of challenges when you drive off-road. Continually “read” the
terrain for unexpected turns, drop-offs, rocks, ruts, and other hazards. Always keep your speed
low enough to allow time to see and react to hazards.
Drive within Your Limits
Pushing limits is another major cause of Kart accidents. Never drive beyond your personal
abilities or faster than conditions warrant. emember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue, and
inattention can significantly reduce your ability to make good judgments and drive safely.
Don’t Drink nd Drive
Alcohol and driving don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond to changing
conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink. So don’t drink and
drive, and don’t let your friends drink and drive either.
Do not Oper te This K rt t Night
Nighttime conditions greatly reduce a driver’s visibility and judgment. So driving at night is
dangerous and can increase the possibility for an accident.
Never Run Your K rt indoors
The exhaust form the engine contains a tasteless, odorless and poisonous gas called carbon
monoxide.
Keep w y from Moving P rts of the K rt
The operator of the Kart should never place their hands or other parts of their body near any
moving part of the Kart. Failure to adhere to this warning will cause physical harm to your body.
Skidding or Sliding
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
The terrain surface can be a major factor affecting turns. Skidding in a turn is more likely to
occur on slippery surfaces such as snow, ice, mud and loose gravel. If you skid on ice, you may
lose directional control. To avoid skidding on slippery terrain, keep you speed low and drive
carefully.
SAFETY LABELS
This section presents some of the most important information and recommendations to help
you drive your Kart safely. Please take a few moments to read these pages.
The labels should be considered permanent parts of the Kart. If a label comes off or becomes

hard to read, contact your dealer for warning label replacement.
