listed below to regain control.

To regain traction, let off the
throttle, do not apply the brakes.

To regain traction, let off the
throttle and brakes until control of
the Go Kart is achieved, steer in the
direction of the skid.
WARNING
!
Skidding or sliding of the Go
Kart could be hazardous.
Skidding or sliding could result
in the Go Kart sliding into an
object or overturning suddenly
by regaining traction resulting
in severe injury or death.
Avoid skidding or sliding. Drive
to stay in control.
WARNING
!
Applying the parking brake
while operating the Go Kart
could be hazardous.
Applying the parking brake
while operating can cause the
wheels to lock up and the Go
Kart to slide out of control. The
Go Kart could turn over or slide
into an object. This could re-
sult in severe injury or death.
Apply the parking brake only
after the Go Kart has come to a
complete stop.

Applying the brakes hard on
slippery surfaces could be haz-
ardous.
Applying the brakes too hard on
a slippery surface can cause the
wheels
to lock up and the Go Kart to
slide out of control. The Go
Kart could turn over or
slide into an object. This could
result in severe injury or death.
Gently apply the brakes when
on a slippery surface.
