3. Install Steering Shaft:

   Insert the steering shaft through the designated opening in the main frame. Ensure the hook on the lower end of the shaft engages with the steering linkage for the front wheels.
4. Attach Steering Wheel:

   Align the steering wheel with the top of the steering shaft. Push it down firmly until it clicks into place or can be secured with the provided fastener (e.g., a lock nut). Ensure the steering wheel is centered when the front wheels are straight.

5. Install Seat:

   Position the seat onto the frame. The BERG Buzzy Nitro features an adjustable seat. Select the desired position and secure the seat using the provided bolts and thumb wheels. Ensure the seat is firmly attached before use.

6. Attach Front Hood/Body Panel:

   Carefully place the front hood/body panel over the front frame section, aligning any tabs or mounting points. Secure it with the provided fasteners, ensuring it is stable and does not obstruct the steering or pedals.
7. Apply Decals:

   Refer to the decal sheet and placement guide in your manual to apply any decorative stickers to the go-kart. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before application for best adhesion.

5. Operating Instructions

The BERG Buzzy Nitro is designed for intuitive and fun operation.

• Getting Started: Have the child sit comfortably in the adjustable seat with their feet on the pedals.
• Pedaling: The direct drive system allows for effortless pedaling both forwards and backwards. Encourage the child to push the pedals in a circular motion to move the go-kart.
• Steering: The steering wheel controls the front wheels. Teach the child to turn the wheel left to go left and right to go right.
• Stopping: The go-kart stops by ceasing pedaling and allowing it to slow down naturally, or by using their feet on the ground under adult supervision.
• Adjusting the Seat: To adjust the seat position, loosen the thumb wheels or fasteners under the seat, slide the seat to the desired position, and re-tighten securely.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your go-kart.

• Cleaning: Clean the go-kart regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Fastener Check: Periodically check all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness. Re-tighten as necessary.
• Tire Inspection: Inspect the EVA whisper tires for any signs of wear or damage. While they are designed not to leak, excessive wear can affect performance.
• Lubrication: The direct drive system is generally maintenance-free. Avoid applying lubricants unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
• Storage: Store the go-kart in a dry, sheltered area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your BERG Buzzy Nitro Go Kart, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Difficulty Pedaling:
  • Check for obstructions around the pedals or wheels.
  • Ensure the direct drive system is functioning correctly (pedals should move freely and engage the wheels).
• Steering Issues (Go-kart pulls to one side or is difficult to turn):
  • Inspect the steering shaft and linkage for proper connection and alignment.
  • Check that the front wheels are securely attached and not wobbly.
• Wobbly or Loose Parts:
  • Re-check all nuts, bolts, and fasteners throughout the go-kart and tighten any loose components.

If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact BERG customer support.
