5.4 Drive mechanism

5.4.1 Chains

The 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 go-

kart 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 chains takes place as described below. When both chains

must be tensioned, always begin with the rear/short chain.

To tension the rear chain: remove the protective hood.

Loosen the nuts of the hub. Tension the chain by moving the hub forwards. Make sure

that the hub remains exactly parallel to the rear axle. Tighten the hub nuts again. The

chain has the correct tension if the middle can be pushed 6 millimeters downwards. See

the illustrations below.
