4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Getting Started
- Ensure the rider is wearing a helmet and appropriate footwear.
- Adjust the seat to allow the rider to comfortably reach the pedals.
- Familiarize the rider with the steering and braking mechanisms in a safe, open area.
4.2 Pedaling
The go-kart is pedal-powered. The rider uses their feet to push the pedals forward, which drives the rear wheels. Encourage a smooth, continuous pedaling motion.
4.3 Steering
The steering wheel controls the front wheels. Turn the wheel left to go left and right to go right. Practice gentle turns before attempting sharper maneuvers.
4.4 Braking
The go-kart is equipped with a handbrake that operates on both rear wheels. To slow down or stop, pull the handbrake lever firmly. Teach the rider to apply the brake gradually to avoid sudden stops.
