Are You Ready To Drive - Joyner JNSZ150DS Owner's Manual

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.
■
Never drive this Go-kart if under 8 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, look 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.
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, possibly
death in the event of severe accident.
Always wear 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 your 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 a
■
chest/shoulder protector.
