• Place the go-kart on a trolley.
• Unscrew the nylstop nuts from the rear wheels with
the proper size wrench, and then remove wheels.
• Using a rule (1) or any depth gauge, measure
between the hub base (2) and the top of the axle (3).
• Undo the CHC screws (4) of the rear hub with an
appropriate wrench until the hub can slide along the
axle shaft and cotter pin (5).
• Move the hub (2) to the desired position with the rule
(1) in place against the hub base (2).
• Retighten screws (4) securely, repeat the operation on
the other hub.

indicated on tyre wall. Replace locknuts (nylstop) and
tighten securely.
Position of hub on axle
.
Accurate adjustment of the rear axle assembly will
greatly improve the go-kart performance.
Too wide an adjustment of rear wheels causes a
tendency to slide and too narrow an adjustment will
cause a tendency to jump.
Check the cotter pin of hub and rear axle are in their
slotted home.
Driving with badly tightened wheel screws may lead
to a serious or even fatal injury.
Exceeding the maximum rear wheel unit adjustment
may cause the breaking of the hub, and may lead to
a serious or even fatal injury.
