Before each drive, you need to make sure that you and your kart are both ready to
drive. To help get you prepared, this section discusses how to evaluate your driving
readiness, what items you should check on your kart, and adjustments to make for your
comfort, convenience, or safety.
Before you drive your kart for the first time, we urge you to:
▪ Read this owner's manual and the labels on your kart carefully.
▪ Make sure you understand all the safety messages.
▪ Know how to operate all the controls.
Before each drive, be sure:
▪ You wear your seat belt at all times while driving your kart
▪ 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 Clothing
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an D.O.T. approved
motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants, and long-sleeved shirt or
jacket whenever you drive.
Although complete protection is not possible, wearing proper gear can reduce the
chance of injury should you have an accident. The following suggestions will help you
choose the proper protective gear.
Helmets and Eyes Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of protective 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 D.O.T. (Department of Transportation)sticker on any
helmet you buy. Always wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your
vision.
