Joyner Dirt Devil 250 2004 Owner's Manual And Parts Manual page 9

Before each drive, you need to make sure you and your Go-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 Go-Kart, and adjustments to make for your comfort, convenience, or safety.
Before you drive your Go-Kart for the first time, we urge you to:
■ Read this owner's manual and the labels on your Go-Kart carefully.
■ Make sure you understand all the safety messages.
■ Know how to operate all the controls.
■ Have adult present if under 16 years old.
Before each drive, be sure:
■ 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
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
when you drive.
The following suggestions will help you choose the proper driving gear.
Helmets and Eyes 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, took for a DOT (Department of Transportation) sticker in any helmet you buy. Always wear a face
shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
