GENERAL USE AND SAFETY GUIDE
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Congratulations on choosing an Arrow Kart.
Since 1973, we have been 100% committed to the Kart Industry. It’s our life, our passion and our
livelihood, so you can count on us being there when you need us.
In producing your kart, we have used only the best and highest quality materials and components, and
all possible care has been taken. However you must be aware that this is a high performance racing /
competition vehicle designed for use only on closed racing circuits. As such it is subject to very high
levels of stress and strain, therefore it requires constant inspection, maintenance and replacement of
components. FAILURE to carry out the above may result in severe injury, perhaps even death.
It is your responsibility as the Owner/Operator/Driver to carry out this regular inspection and a
maintenance schedule is offered to you for your guidance. Please be aware that in providing these
guidelines we make no indication that these items are the only maintenance or inspection required,
merely that they are important elements in the maintenance of your kart/s.
To carry out these inspections, a basic level of mechanical knowledge is required. If you are unsure or
do not possess the basic level of mechanical knowledge required, then you must have this work carried
out by a suitably qualified person. Contact your local Kart Distributor/Dealer for further information.
As this is a racing vehicle it is possible a collision may occur. If a collision occurs which results in
damage to any of the following assemblies or any of their components, then the damaged component/s
must be replaced and not repaired.
• Steering Assembly including Stub Axles, King Pins, King Pin bearings and Tie Rods
• Brake Assembly including pedal and cables
• Side Pods including Side Pod Bars
All items should be constantly inspected for possibilities such as cracks from fatigue or crash contact,
bending, seizing up, lubrication, normal wear and tear. Ensure all fasteners are tight and securely
fastened. Items showing damage or wear must be replaced.
