IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your Go-Kart will provide you with many years of service and pleasure. Providing you
take responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges you can meet
while driving.
There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you drive. You’ll find many
helpful recommendations throughout this manual. The following are a few that we
consider most important.
Follow the Age Recommendation
It is strongly recommended that no one under the age of 16 be permitted to driv* this
Go-Kart without adult supervision.
Always Wear a 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-Road Only
Your Go-Kart is designed and manufactured for off-road use only. The tires are not
made for pavement, and the Go-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 Go-Kart across.
Take Time lo Learn & Practice
Even if you have driven other Go-Kart, take time to become familiar with how this Go-
Kart works and handles. Practice in a safe area until you build your skills and get
accustomed to this Go-Kart's size and weight.
Because many accidents involve inexperienced or untrained drives, 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-Road Hazards
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Drive within Your Limits
Pushing limits is another major cause of Go-Kart accidents, Never drive beyond your
personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs,
fatigue, and inattention can significantly reduce your ability to make good judgments and
drive safely.
Don’t Drink and 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 operate this Go-Kart at night
Dark vision can greatly reduce a driver’s visibility and judgment. So driving at night is
dangerous and can increase possibility for accident.
Never run your Go-Kart indoors.
The exhaust from the engine contains a tasteless, odorless and poisonous gas called
carbon monoxide.
Keep away from moving parts of the Go-Kart
The operator of the Go-Kart should never place their hands or other parts of their
body near any moving part of the Go-Kart. Failure to adhere to this warning will cause
physical harm to your body.
Skidding or Sliding
The terrain surface can be a major factor affecting turns. Skidding 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 all directional control. To avoid skidding on slippery terrain, keep
your speed low and drive carefully.

SAFETY LABELS
This section presents some of the most important information and
recommendations to help von drive your Go-Kart safely Please take a few moments
to read these pages.
The labels should be considered permanent parts of the Go-Kart. If a label
comes off or becomes hard to read, contact your dealer for warning labels
replacements.

ARE YOU READY TO DRIVE?
Before each drive, you need to make sure you and your Go-Kart are both ready to
drive. To help get you prepared, this section discusses how to evaluate your driving
readiness, what items you should check on your Go-Kart, and adjustments to make for
your comfort, convenience, or safety.
Before you drive your Go-Kart for the first time, we urge you to:
• Read this owner s manual and the labels on your Go-Kart carefully
• Make sure you understand all the safety messages
• Know how to operate all the controls
• Have adult present if under 16 years old
Before each drive, be sure:
• You feel well and are in good physical and mental condition
• You are wearing an approved motorcycle helmet (with chin strap tightened securely),
eye protection, and other protective clothing.
• You don't have any alcohol or drugs in your system.
Protective Apparel
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an approved
motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants, and long-sleeved shirt or
jacket whenever you drive
Although complete protection is not possible, wearing proper gear can reduce the
chance of injury when you drive.
The following suggestions will help you choose the proper driving gear
Helmets and Eyes Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of driving gear because it offers the best
protection against head injuries. A helmet should fit your head comfortably and securely.
An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet offers more
Regardless of the style, look for a DOT (Department of Transportation) 5ticker in any
helmet you buy. Always wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your
vision.

Additional Driving Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:
• Sturdy off-road motorcycle boots to help protect your feet ankles, and lower
legs
• Off-road motorcycle gloves to help protect your hands.
• Driving pants with knee and hip pads, a driving jersey with padded elbows, and
a chest/shoulder protector.
Driver Training
Developing your driving skills is an on-going process Even if you have driven other Go-
Karts, take time to become familiar with how this Go-Kart works and handles. Practice
driving tin Go-Kart in a safe area to build your skills. Do not drive in rough terrain until you
get accustomed to the Go-Kart's controls, and feel comfortable with its size and weight.
Age Recommendation
It is strongly recommended that no one under the age of 16 be permitted to operate this
Go-Kart without adult supervision.
No Alcohol or Drugs
Alcohol, drugs and Go-Karts don't mix. Even a small amount of alcohol can impair your
ability to operate a Go-Kart safely. Likewise, drugs - even if prescribed by a physician - can
be dangerous while operating a Go-Kart. Consult your doctor to be sure it is safe to operate
a vehicle after taking medication.

problems you find are corrected. A pre-drive Inspection is a must. not only for safety,
but because having a breakdown, or even a flat tire, can be a major inconvenience.

until your Go-Kart has been inspected by your dealer. There may be damages or
other problems you cannot see.

tighten the seatbelt.
 Testing the Go-Kart in a open place at the beginning to learn how to start, turn and stop.
 Operate the Go-Kart slowly until you are familiar with it.
 The turning radius of this Go-Kart is small and agile, so the centrifugal force is very high
when turning at high speed, Slow down to a more controllable speed when turning to
prevent the Go-Kart from rolling over.
 To prevent vehicle from rolling over, be sure to only turn the vehicle at a slow more
controllable speed. Heel on the ramp of the main board when turning. (See picture 5)
Keep your leg resting on the foot pedal, you can feel the kart is stable because of the
gravity is adjusted and won't roll over.
