2.2.1 Before Use
- Adjust the seat and steering wheel to the correct position, according to the size of the user.
- Make sure the steering, brakes and tires are functioning correctly and the bolts and nuts are fixed.
- Protective covers, which have been removed for maintenance purposes, should always be put back in the original state before use.
- Check if the tire pressures meet the safety norms as shown on the tire (28 psi/1,9 bar). The function of the brake and the steering depend on these being correct.
- The adult is responsible for instructing the child how to operate this product.
2.2.2 During use
- The toy should be used with caution since skill is required to avoid falls or collisions causing injury to the user or third parties.
- Ride at a suitable speed where you have control.
- Going downhill considerably increases your speed and accidents can occur. The braking distance will also be longer! It is not allowed to use this product on hills or slopes (up and downhill), there is a risk the product can tip over.
- Wearing protective gear is not mandatory but in the interest of safety it is advised.
- When parking, make sure that the go-kart cannot drive away, by turning the steering to the right or left steering position.
- Do not place any unnecessary object on or against the steering wheel/bar. Make sure that the steering wheel/bar always functions properly.
2.2.3 Trailer
If a trailer is connected to the go-kart, you must remember that the braking
distance will be longer.

steep slopes. No people are allowed in the trailer. For the maximum load
weight for the trailer please refer to the trailer User’s Guide.
2.2.4 Brakes

Maintenance
Some maintenance is necessary in order to use the BERG product and have fun
with it for a long time.
This chapter describes how, how often, and which maintenance must be carried
out.
3.1 Maintenance scheme
| Daily | Monthly | Half yearly | Yearly |
|---|
Wheels / tires
Check for wear.
Check the tire pressure and if necessary increase the pressure.| Frame
Clean and check all nuts and bolts
Check the frame for any cracks and fractures
Driving mechanism
Check chain for correct tension
Chain greasing
Steering
Check all nuts and bolts Lubricate the moving parts
Clean and oil the chains| Driving mechanism
Check for correct functioning of bearings, chain, hub, sprockets and axles|
Plastic parts
Clean the plastic parts and check damage
3.2 Maintenance activities
3.2.1 Frame
The frame is powder-coated or black zinc plated. To prevent any rust forming
it is important to regularly clean the frame. If you want to conserve the
frame with grease, only use acid free substances. You can treat damaged areas
with paint.
Check the bolts and nuts for rust and replace them to prevent them from
breaking which can cause injuries.
3.2.2 Wheels/tires
Regularly check the rims and tires for any damage (for example cuts, cracks
and bulges). Attention: damaged rims and tires can lead to accidents! The
tires must not come into contact with oil, grease or fuel.
The correct tire pressure is shown on the outside of the tire. If the tires
are at the correct pressure the product will be light and easy to handle. If
the pressure is too low, the tires will leak quicker and will suffer excessive
wear and tear. If the tire pressure is too high, the tire can for example come
loose from the rim, resulting in dangerous situations. Attention: remember
that in bright sunlight and at high temperatures the tire pressure increases!
The tires must not come into contact with oil, grease or fuel. Make sure that
the valve caps are always fitted on the valves.
3.2.3 Steering
The steering equipment must be checked every month for the following:
- Damage, rust, wear and tear.
- All the nuts and bolts must be tightened.
3.2.4 Chain
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 product will be more difficult to
pedal and there is a big chance that wear and tear of the chain and sprocket,
among other things, will occur faster. If a chain is not tight enough, the
chain can easily come off the sprocket, or there is a chance of damage to the
chain housing.
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.
Tensioning the front chain:
- Loosen the bolts of the crank axle at the bottom 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.
3.2.5 Plastic parts
The plastic parts must be checked regularly for damage a breakage.
In the case of breakage you must immediately replace the part concerned with
an original part, in order to guarantee the safety of the user.
3.2.6 Crank adjustment
After using the new product for several days (intensive use) or for up to two
weeks (normal use) after purchase, the mounting bolts with which the left and
right cranks are mounted must be tightened again (see illustration below).
Note that they must be ‘ hand tightened’, that is to say with a tightening
moment of 30Nm 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).
An effect when this isn’t done regularly, is that a certain amount of play can
occur, which can lead to damage to the crank and the crank axle. This play can
be taken up by tightening the bolts further.
