I. Guidelines for use 1. Safety BERG products come under the product group toys. This means that the go-kart may not be used on public roads. They are provided with CE and TÜV / GS (Technischer Überwachungsverein, or Technical Inspection Association / Geprüfte Sicherheit or Tested Safety) quality marks. Children (under 12) must only ride the go-kart under the guidance of an adult. BERG Toys cannot be held liable for any omissions to this User's Manual.
2. Rules for use — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — 3. Before anyone uses the go-kart, check if everything is functioning as it should. Children (under 12) may only steer the go-kart under adult supervision. The go-kart may not be used on the public roads. Ride at a suitable speed, according to the situation. If you ride across a slope (rather than up or down it), there is a danger of the go-kart tipping over. A considerable speed can be reached when going downhill.
II. Maintenance Some maintenance is necessary in order to use the go-kart and have pleasure with it for a long time. This chapter describes how, how often, and which maintenance must be carried out. 4.
Drive mechanism 5.4 5.4.1 Chains The go-kart has a driving mechanism with two chains. Make sure that the chains are sufficiently oiled so that they can travel freely. If a chain is too tightly tensioned, the gokart will be more difficult to pedal and there is a big chance that wear and tear of the chains and sprocket, among other things, will occur faster. If a chain is not tight enough, then the chain can easily come off the sprocket, or there is a chance of damage to the chain housing.
Tensioning the front chain: loosen the bolts on the underside of the frame. Tension the chain by moving the crank axle forwards. Tighten the bolts again. It must be possible to push the middle of the chain downwards by 1 centimeter. To check this you must remove the lower half of the chain housing. See the illustrations below. 1 1 B 2 3 max.
5.4.2 Crank adjustment when running in a new go-kart After using the go-kart for several days (intensive use) or for up to two weeks (normal use), the mounting bolts (see Fig. 1) with which the left and right cranks are mounted must be tightened again. Note that they must be 'hand tightened', that is to say with a tightening moment of 30 Nm at the maximum (It is a normal effect that after a short period of use, as a result of the force applied to the pedals, the crank assembly settles).
