Therefore, when turning, the inside wheel may lose
traction slightly. The new rider must learn to shift
weight and control the throttle to allow the rear tires
to negotiate the turn.
1. Practice turning at slow, constant speeds in a
large level open area.
2. Turn the steering wheel in the direction of the
turn.
3. Lean your body to the inside of the turn in order
to maximize front tire traction.
4. Use the throttle to maintain power throughout the
turn.
Once this is learned, turns can be performed within a
relatively small area.
Slippery Surfaces and Skids
_IL WARNING: ALWAYS SLOW DOWN on
slippery surfaces.
Turns on slippery surfaces are more hazardous
than when full traction isavailable.
• A skid on ice, loose gravel or wet grass can
cause loss of all directional control.
A skid on pavement is dangerous because the
Fun-Kart may regain traction suddenly and
unexpectedly, which can cause the Fun-Kart to
overturn.
• Slippery surfaces reduce braking forces and
increasebraking distances.
1. If the front wheels tend to skid in mud, sand or
snow, you may be able to improve control by
releasing the throttle and allowing the Fun-Kart to
coast through the turn.
2. If the rear wheels skid sideways, correct the slide
by steering in the direction of the skid. Avoid
braking or accelerating until you have control.
Passengers
Some karts are designed and constructed to be used
by an operator alone. Those karts have a single seat.
The Fun-Kart load limit and seating configuration
does not safely permit the carrying of a passenger.
With those karts the rule is OPERATOR ONLY-NO
PASSENGER.
For Fun-Karts specially designed with two seats or a
double seat, a passenger may be permitted to ride
when the following guidelines are observed:
,
The operator must be of sufficient age,
understanding, mental capacity and physical
capability to control the Fun-Kart in a responsible
manner and prevent unnecessary risk to the
passenger and operator. It requires a thorough
understanding of the Fun-Kart's operation and all
safety rules, WARNINGS and CAUTIONS.
A WARNING: Operator and passenger must
always wear a properly fitting, approved helmet.
2. The passenger must be of sufficient age,
understanding, mental capacity and physical
capability to control and restrict physical motion
within the moving Fun-Kart and to effectively
react to minimize any possibility of personal
injury.
