3.0 Guidelines for safe use

 

 

Before using the go-kart, check if everything functions properly.

 

 

Children may only drive the go-kart when supervised.

 

 

A BERG go-kart is not allowed on public roads. Always drive it at appropriate speed,
depending on the situation. Driving down a slope slantwise, the go-kart may overturn.
Downhill a considerable speed may be achieved, resulting in a longer break path.

 

 

Sharp bends at high speed also may cause the go-kart to overturn.

 

 

Always pay attention to the environment.

 

 

Do not reverse at high speed. You may lose control of the wheel. The front wheels may
become detached from the ground when braking while reversing at high speed.

 

 

Do not drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs which have a negative effect on your
perception or reaction.

 

 

Bumping and other stunts are damaging to the go-kart. Berg Toys can not be held liable
for damage thus inflicted.

 

 

Do not pedal backwards in an automatic freewheel (AF) when you are driving forward
and vice versa. Do not pedal forward in a brake freewheel (BF) or -3/-7 accelerator hub
(BF -3/-7)when driving backward. The gear may take over the pedals.

 

 

For braking always use the hand brake regardless of the type of go-kart. The hand brake
always works on two wheels, the break freewheel (BF) and the -3/-7 accelerator hub only
work on one wheel.

 

 

Do not place unnecessary objects on or over the brake handle or the wheel. Make sure
that brake and wheel can always function properly.

 

 

Clothes and limbs may get stuck in revolving or hinged parts. Avoid loose attire such as
scarves or shoe laces. It can cause accidents.

 

 

Avoid contact with the wheels when driving the go-kart.

 

 

The brochure contains guidelines on age categories. The owner/driver is responsible for
deciding whether The BERG go-kart is age appropriate.

 

 

Make sure that for every drive the driver's
seat is in the right position with regard to the
pedals to allow for safe driving (picture 3).

 

 

Do not get on or off while driving.

 

 

Do not overload the vehicle.

 

 

Do not drive in the dark without lights..

 

 

Protective covers having been removed for
maintenance purposes should always be put
back in the original state before use.

 

 

When parking the vehicle, always put it in
brake with the lock
brake.
