Before operating your vehicle, you need to make sure you and your vehicle are both ready for opera-
tion. To help get you prepared, this section discusses how to evaluate your driving readiness. You
should also complete a Pre-Operation inspection as described previously in this manual.
Before you drive your Kart for the first time, we urge you to:
• Read this owner's manual and the labels on your vehicle carefully.
• Make sure you understand all the safety messages.
• Know how to operate all the controls.
• Have adult present if under 18 years old.
Before each drive, be sure:
• You wear your seat belt at all times while driving your kart or as a passenger.
• 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 pro-
tection, boots, gloves, long pants, long-sleeved shirt or jacket, and closed toe shoes or boots whenev-
er you drive. Although complete protection is not possible, wearing proper gear can reduce the chance
of injury when you operate the vehicle.
The following suggestions will help you choose the proper driving gear.
Helmet and Eye 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) sticker on any helmet you buy. Always wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes
and help your vision.
Operating this vehicle without wearing an approved motorcycle helmet, eye protec-
tion,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 s held), gloves , boots , long-s leaved shirt or jacket, long pants,
and closed toe shoes or boots.
