Are You Ready Te Drive - MANCO 6150 Owner's Manual

ARE YOU READY TO DRIVE?
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.
- View and understand the included safety DVD
Protective Apparel
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.
Helmet and Eye 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.
Open-face helmets offer some protection, but a full-face helmet offers more. Regardless of the style,
look for a D.O.T. (Department of Transportation) or Snell Memorial Foundation (SNELL) sticker on any
helmet you buy. Always wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
t WARNiNG t
Operating this kart without wearing an approved motorcycle helmet, eye protection, and
protective clothing could increase your chances of head and/or eye injury, and the possibility
of death in the event of a severe accident.
Always wear and approved motorcycle helmet that fits properly and wear eye protection
(goggles or face shield), gloves, boots, long-sleeved shirt or jacket and long pants.
Additional Driving Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:
Sturdy off-road motorcycle boots to help protect feet, ankles, and lower legs.
Off-Road motorcycle gloves to help protect your hands
Driving pants with knee and hip pads, a driving jersey with padded elbows, and
chest protection.
Driver Training
Developing your driving skills is an ongoing process. Even if you are and experienced driver, take time to
become familiar with the cart controls and how the kart handles. Practice driving in a safe, open area to
develop your skills. Do not drive on rough terrain until you get accustomed to the kart controls and feel
comfortable with its size and weight.
