2.2 Maintenance activities

2.2.1 Frame
The frame is powder-coated or black zinc plated. To prevent any rust forming it is important to regularly
clean the frame. If you want to conserve the frame with grease, only use acid free substances. You can
treat damaged areas with paint.
2.2.2 Moving parts
Moving parts within the frame have to be cleaned and greased regularly using WD40. The axle of the
knuckle at the front axle has to be greased twice a year using a grease gun. If the bearings need to be
replaced, please order them through the selling point of your go-kart.
2.2.3 Wheels/tires
Regularly check the rims and tires for any damage (for example cuts, cracks and bulges).
Attention: damaged rims and tires can lead to accidents! The correct tire pressure is shown on the
outside of the tires (22PSI / 1,5BAR). If the tires are at the correct pressure the product will be light and
easy to handle. If the pressure is too low, the tires will leak quicker and will suffer excessive wear and tear.
If the tire pressure is too high, the tire can for example, come away from the rim, resulting in dangerous
situations. Attention: remember that in bright sunlight and at high temperatures the tire pressure
increases! The tires must not come into contact with oil, grease or fuel. Make sure that the valve caps are
always fitted on the valves.
