CLEANING PROCEDURE
A thorough cleaning of your Go-kart is a necessary part of maintenance. It will help keep
your Go-kart looking and performing best. Proper cleaning can also extend the life of
your Go-kart.
It is important to clean and inspect your Go-kart after every ride, especially if it is
used in mud, brush, grass, water, salt water, or very dusty conditions
The build-up of mud, brush, grass, etc. especially on the engine and exhaust system,
can reduce engine cooling ability, conceal damage, or increase wear of certain parts.
It is important to remove all debris during cleaning.
PREPARATION FOR CLEANING
Wash the Go-kart before any mud dries on the Go-kart.
Block or seal the end of the exhaust pipe (muffler) and air filter using a piece of
plastic wrap, cloth rag or another method to prevent water from entering engine.
High pressure washers could damage your Go-kart.
High pressure washers such as those found at coin-operated car washes have enough
pressure to damage the parts of your Go-kart. It may cause rust, corrosion and increase
wear.
Do not use high pressure washers to clean your Go-kart.
