Braking Technique
This section will cover basic braking technique for your go-kart. To slow or stop the go-
kart, press down on the brake pedal firmly and smoothly. Gradually increase your braking
pressure as you feel it is needed.
Generally, reduce your speed and complete your braking before you begin a turn. Avoid braking or
quickly releasing the gas pedal while turning. Either of these actions may cause the wheels to slip.
Any wheel slip will reduce your control over the go-kart and could cause a crash.
When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or on loose surfaces such as mud or sand, your ability to
maneuver and stop the go-kart will be reduced. All of your actions should be done in a smooth and
steady manner under these conditions. Rapid acceleration, braking or turning can cause you to lose
control of the go-kart. For your safety, exercise extreme caution when riding under wet, rainy, and/
or muddy conditions.
Use extra precaution when riding in wet or muddy conditions because braking
function may be severely reduced by water or mud on the brake rotors.
Parking & Post-Ride Inspection
When you have finished riding turn the engine stop switch to the “OFF” position. If you are through
riding for the day, turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position. Always park the go-kart on a flat level
surface.
If you will be storing the go-kart for a long period of time, turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” posi-
tion while the engine is still running. Open and close the throttle repeatedly until the engine stops
running on its own. This uses up any fuel that still remains in the carburetor. This will help you
avoid carburetor problems that can occur when your go-kart is stored for long periods of time with
gasoline left in the carburetor.
