Washing Your Go-Kart; Inspection After Cleaning - Baja motorsports BR150-D Owner's Manual

WASHING YOUR GO-KART

With some care, your Go-kart can be washed in a similar manner to washing
an automobile.
Note: Avoid spraying or allowing water to flow over the following places:
● Ignition switch
● Spark plug
● Fuel tank cap
● Carburetor
● Air filter
Use a garden hose at low pressure to remove the majority of dirt or other
debris. Hand wash your Go-kart with mild soap or detergent and water. Try
to thoroughly remove all dirt and debris without excessive water pressure,
even at remote areas such as between engine cooling fins, linkages or
mounting brackets. Cloth rags, washing mitts or cleaning brushes can
be used. Be careful with brushes as they may scratch plastic or painted
surfaces. Rinse the ATV thoroughly with clean water. Dry all areas using a
chamois or soft absorbent cloth.

INSPECTION AFTER CLEANING

Follow the procedures in the INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING section to check
your Go-kart for any problems that may have occurred during your last ride.
WARNING
Operating the Go-kart with wet brakes could be hazardous.
Wet brakes may not provide as much stopping power as dry brakes.
This could lead to an accident.
Test your brakes after washing the Go-kart, riding at a slow speed. If
necessary, apply brake several times to let the friction dry out the linings.
