them handle the Go Cart during assembly. Always observe the six years and up age

limit for driving or riding on the Go Cart.

4. Store idle equipment. When not in use, products must be stored in a dry location to
inhibit rust. Always lock up the Go Cart and keep it out of reach of children under six
years old.

5. Intended use. There are certain applications for which this Go Cart was designed. It
will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended. Do not

modify this Go Cart and do not use this product for a purpose for which it was not
intended.

9. Maintain products with care. Keep the Go Cart clean for better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. The
steering wheel, pedals and tires must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease

at all times.

10. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from the Go Cart prior to use.

11. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any
product when you are tired.

12. Check for damaged parts. Before using the Go Cart, any part that appears
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and

perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any
broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper

operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a
qualified technician.

13. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories

intended for use with this product. Approved accessories are available from Harbor
Freight Tools.

14. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning
labels if taking prescription medicine to determine if your judgment or reflexes are

impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the Go Cart.

15. Maintenance. For your safety, service and maintenance should be performed
regularly by a qualified technician.

16. Use product with both hands. Go Carts require the use of both hands when

Assembly

During assembly, refer to FIGURES 1 through 4 on page 4, and the Assembly Drawing on
page 7.

Note: All of the fasteners (nut, bolts, washers) have been positioned in their mounting posi­tions by the factory. When performing the steps shown below, remove the fasteners, make

the connections, and replace and tighten the hardware. Besides the two included assembly
tools, we recommend using a rubber hammer (not included) to avoid damaging the paint.

1. Connect the Longitudinal Girder (#3) to the Rear Axle (#4).

2. Insert the Front Axle (#1) into the Longitudinal Girder (#3) making sure the two holes in

the square tubes of both pieces line up flush and fit tight.

3. Attach the Steering Sleeve (#2) to the connecting plate of the Front Axle (#1). The

Steering Sleeve (#2) must be centered so that the two front wheels will be parallel and an
equal distance from the Steering Sleeve (#2) . Tighten the Front Axle (#1) connecting plate

assembly.

4. Connect the Steering Column (#6) to the Front Axle (#1) and secure with the attached

large bolt. See Close-up 1 on the Assembly Drawing.

5. Attach the Brake Lever/Parking Swing (#5) to the holes on the Rear Axle (#4). See

FIGURE 3 and close-up #2.

6. Attach the two rear Wheels (#11) and then the two front Wheels (#11). Tighten the hard-

ware and put on the wheel caps. Mount the Drive Train (#8) to the Rear Axle (#4). When you
remove the four bolts to mount the Drive Train, make sure you replace each bolt into the hole

it came from. You need to insert the driving spindle into the hole of the
Rear Axle (#4) and make sure the gears mesh together before tightening. Tighten all of the

hardware. Note: You will see a protective paper on the Rear Axle (#4). Peel the protective
paper off of the steel key and make sure the steel key stays in place.

7. Connect the Saddle (#12) to the Seat Rack (#13). See Close-up #3 on the Assembly

Drawing. The seat can be adjusted forward or back depending on the size of the rider. After
attaching and tightening all of the hardware, replace the plastic hole covers.

8. Remove the existing hardware and attach the Pedals (#9). Replace and tighten hardware.

9. Attach the Steering Wheel (#7) to the Steering Column (#6).

10. Attach the Fenders (#14) with the red deflectors facing rear.

11. Make sure the tires are inflated to 36 PSI.

system.
