Transport of the kart

If the carburetor is still filled with fuel, the transport of the kart is only allowed to be transported in a
horizontal position.
If the kart is to be transported in a vertical position, the fuel must be drained from the carburetor
first.
 Note: If the kart is in a vertical position at transport, the remaining fuel in the carburetor
might flow into the crankcase with the result that the engine won't start at next try.
 Remove drain screw (pos. 27, fig. 2) on float chamber of carburetor and collect the
fuel in a suitable container.

Preservation of engine and equipment

For longer periods out of operation (winter time), make sure that the engine will be properly
preserved.
 Detach carburetor, drain fuel from carburetor and close carburetor openings to
ensure that no dust or dirt can enter.
 Close intake and exhaust port of engine so that they are air-tight with adhesive tape.
 Apply oil on exhaust system to prevent corrosion.
 Remove battery from the fixture and charge periodically with the specified battery
charger.
 Attention: Not following this will lead to engine damage (e.g. breakage of cylinder):
If the vehicle gets stored at temperatures around and below the freezing point, the
cooling system must be filled with a mixture of distilled water and an aluminium-
compatible antifreeze. The mixture must ensure protection against freezing to a
temperature of – 20 °C / -4 °F. Furthermore, you can also drain the water completely
out of the system.
 Note: Please follow the local regulations concerning the use of antifreeze on the race
track.
