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.

Maintenance scheme

Maintenance activities

Frame

The frame is powder-coated or black zinc-plated. To prevent rust forming it is important to not keep the pedal go-kart outside for a long time during rain and clean the frame regularly. 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.

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.

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.

Chain

The product 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 forward.
• Make sure that the hub remains exactly parallel to the rear axle.
• Tighten the hubnuts again.
• The chain has the correct tension if the middle can be pushed 6 millimeters downwards.

Tensioning the front chain:

• Loosen the nuts of the crank axle at the bottom of the frame.
• Tension the chain by moving the crank axle forward.
• Tighten the nuts again. It must be possible to push the middle of the chain upwards by 10 mm. Use a screwdriver to check the tension on the chain through the slot on the bottom of the chain housing.

Plastic parts

The plastic parts must be checked regularly for damage and breakage. In the case of breakage, do not use the product but immediately replace the part concerned with an original part, in order to guarantee the safety of the user.

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 is not 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.
