3.2 Maintenance activities

3.2.1 Frame

The frame is powder-coated or black zinc plated. To prevent rust forming it's important to not keep
the pedal go-kart outside for a long time during rain and clean the frame regularly. If you want to
conserve the frame with grease, only use acid free substances. You can treat damaged areas with
paint.
Check the bolts and nuts for rust and replace them to prevent them from breaking which can cause
injuries.
3.2.2 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 tires must not come into contact with oil, grease or
fuel.

3.2.3 Steering

The steering equipment must be checked every month for the following:
• Damage, rust, wear and tear.
• All the nuts and bolts must be tightened.
