ARE YOU READY TO DRIVE?
6
Before each drive, you need to make sure that you and your Go-kart are ready to drive. To help
you be prepared, this section discusses how to evaluate your driving readiness, what items you
should check on your TrailMaster Go-kart MID, and which adjustments would be done for your
comfort, convenience, and safety.
Before you drive this TrailMaster Go-kart MID for this first time, we urge you to:
Read this owner's manual and the labels on your TrailMaster Go-kart MID carefully.
Make sure you understand all the safety messages.
Know how to operate all the controls.
Before each drive, be sure:
You wear your seat belt at all times while driving your TrailMaster Go-kart MID.
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 consume any alcohol or drug.
Protective Apparel
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear a D.O.T. 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
by an accident.
Helmets and Eyes Protection
The following suggestions will help you choose the proper protective gear.
Your helmet is your most important piece of protective 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 D.O.T. (Department of Transportation) sticker on any helmet you buy. Always wear
a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
Operating this kart without wearing an approved motorcycle helmet, eye protection,
and protective clothing could increase your chances of head and/or eye injury, and the
possibility of death in the event of a severe accident.
Always wear an approved motorcycle helmet that fits properly and wear eye protection
(goggles or face shield), gloves, boots, long-sleeved shirt or jacket and long pants.
