WASHING YOUR GO-KART
With some care, your Go-kart can be washed in a similar manner to washing an
automobile.
Note: Avoid spraying or allowing water to flow over the following places:
· Ignition switch
· Spark plug
· Fuel tank cap
· Carburetor
Use a garden hose at low pressure to remove the majority of dirt or other debris.
Hand wash your Go-kart with mild soap or detergent and water. Try to thoroughly
remove all dirt and debris without excessive water pressure, even at remote areas
such as between engine cooling fins, linkages or mounting brackets. Cloth rags,
washing mitts or cleaning brushes can be used. Be careful with brushes as they may
scratch plastic or painted surfaces. Rinse the Gokart thoroughly with clean water.
Dry all areas using a chamois or soft absorbent cloth.
INSPECTION AFTER CLEANING
Remove the rags or wrapping from the exhaust pipe. For extended life of your
Go-kart, lubricate according to GENERAL LUBRICATION section.
Follow the procedures in the INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING section to check your
Go-kart for any problems that may have occurred during your last ride.
Operating the Go-kart with wet brakes could be hazardous.
Wet brakes may not provide as much stopping power as dry brakes. This could lead to an
accident.
Test your brakes after washing the Go-kart, riding at a slow speed. If necessary, apply brake
several times to let the friction dry out the linings.
