Important Safety Information - Joyner JNSZ800MV Owner's Manual

3.IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Your Go-Kart will provide you with many years of service and pleasure. Providing you
take responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges you can meet while
driving.
There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you drive. You'll find many
helpful recommendations throughout this manual. The following are a few that we consider
most important.
Follow the Age Recommendation
It is strongly recommended that no one under the age of 16 be permitted to drive this
Go-Kart without adult supervision.
Always Wear a Helmet
It's a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of head injuries.
Always wear an approved motorcycle helmet. We also recommend that you wear eye
protection, sturdy boots, gloves, and other protective gear.
Drive Off-Road Only
Your Go-Kart is designed and manufactured for off-road use only. The tires are not made
for pavement, and the Go-Kart does not have some features required for use on public
roads. If you need to cross a paved or public road, get off and walk your Go-Kart across.
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have derived other Go-Kart, take time to become familiar with how this
Go-Kart works and handles. Practice in a safe area until you build your skills and get
accustomed to this Go-Kart's size and weight.
Because many accidents involve inexperienced or untrained drives, we urge all drivers
to take a training course approved by the Go-Kart Safety Institute. Check with your dealer
for more information on training courses.
Be Alert for Off-Road Hazards
The terrain can present a variety of challenges when you drive off-road. Continually
"read" the terrain for unexpected turns, drop-offs, rocks, ruts, and other hazards. Always
keep your speed low enough to allow time to see and react to hazards.
Drive within Your Limits
Pushing limits is another major cause of Go-Kart accidents. Never drive beyond your
personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue,
and inattention can significantly reduce your ability to make good judgments and driver
safely.
Don't Drink and drive
Alcohol and driving don't mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond to
changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink. So don't
drink and drive, and don't let your friends drink and drive either.
Never run your Go- Kart indoors.
The exhaust from the engine contains a tasteless, odorless and poisonous gas called
carbon monoxide.
Keep away from moving parts of the Go-Kart
The operator of the Go-Kart should never place their hands or other parts of their body
near any moving part of the Go-Kart. Failure to adhere to this warning will cause physical
