Ford Mustang GT pedal go-kart
Tensioning the front chain:
• Loosen the bolts on the underside of the frame.
• Tension the chain by moving the crank axle and the hub.
• Tighten the bolts again.
• It must be possible to push the middle of the chain downwards by 10 millimeter.
2.2.4.2 Crank adjustment (when running in a new product)
After using the new product for several days (intensive use) or for up to two weeks (normal use) after
purchase, the mounting bolts with which the left and right cranks are mounted must be tightened
again (see illustration below). Note that they must be 'hand tightened', that is to say with a tighten-
ing moment of 30 Nm at the maximum (it is a normal effect that after a short period of use, as a
result of the force applied to the pedals, the crank assembly settles). A secondary effect of this is
that a certain amount of play can occur, which can lead to damage to the crank and the crank axle.
This play can be taken up by tightening the bolts further.
2.2.4.3 Different types of hubs
Brake freewheel (BF-R)
The brake freewheel works like a back-pedalling brake and has a neutral. The brake freewheel can be
put in reverse. The tension of the chain has to be checked every six months.
2.2.5 Plastic parts
The plastic parts must be checked regularly for damage and breakage. In the case of
breakage you must immediately replace the part concerned with an original part, in order to
guarantee the safety of the user.
