Areyou Ready To Drive - Carter INTERCEPTOR GTR 250 Owner's Manual

Before each drive, make sure you and your kart are both ready to drive. 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.
Have an experienced adult present if operator is not experienced in this kart.
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 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 Eye 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, look for a DOT (Department of Transportation) sticker on any helmet you buy. Always
wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
Operating this go-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 an approved motorcycle helmet that fits properly and wear eye protection
(goggles or face shield), gloves, boots, long-sleeved shirt or jacket and long pants.
