3.0 Maintenance
3.1 Frame
•
Do not use sharp objects when cleaning your product.
•
Your product should not be exposed to extended periods outdoors (rain or sun-
light).
•
When cleaning, please use environmentally friendly products and never caustic
cleaning materials. Please protect against salt and do not store in a damp atmos-
phere for long periods.
•
All frame parts are made of high-quality steel and coated in colour paint. To
avoid rust, please keep the frame clean. If you wish to protect the frame with a
layer of grease, only use acid-free Vaseline. Small chips can be touched up with
paint.
3.2 Wheels/Tires
•
Caution! Like car tires, the tires of this pedal go-kart are made of vulcanized
natural rubber and are therefore liable to mark surfaces. It is advisable to protect
the surface to maintain good contact between the tire and the ground. Take care
when using on floors that have been glued with solvents, like fitted carpets and
especially PVC.
•
Grease the bearings regularly (once per year).
•
Keep tire pressure constant. Lower tire pressure increases wear and makes your
pedal go-kart harder to ride. With correct tire pressure, the toy is light and easy
to handle. When tire pressure is too low, the chances of a puncture increase and
the tire wears out quicker. When tire pressure is too high, the tire may become
detached from the valve or explode. This could lead to dangerous situations.
(Please note tire pressure increases in bright sunlight and high temperatures!)
Tires should not be exposed to oil, grease or fuel. Ensure that valve caps are
always fitted to the valve.
3.3 Miscellaneous
•
Please check your pedal go-kart regularly (every week) for possible wear and
tear. To maintain the original high safety standard, please replace any worn parts
immediately. Your product should not be used while being repaired.
