• Place the go-kart on a trolley.
• Loosen but do not remove the screw (1) of the belt
adjuster assembly (2) with a correctly-sized wrench.
• Pull the chain adjuster assembly (2) towards the rear
of the go-kart so that the roller (3) tightens the belt.
• Adjust the tightening screw (4) to have a displacement
of 5mm (finger pressure).
• Retighten the screw (1) of the adjuster (middle screw:
40 Nm). Displacement of the chain should be 5mm in
either direction.
• Control that the rubber stop of screw (4) is in contact
with the frame.
• Retighten the locknut (5).
NOTES
 The roller (3) may be placed on different positions on the
belt adjuster (2) according to the transmission ratio and
the belt tension.
 Check belt tension daily to ensure long service. Too tight
a belt fatigues the engine and the frame.
 Too tight a belt fatigues the engine and the frame.
NOTES
 Too tight a belt fatigues the engine and the frame. Check
belt tension daily to ensure long service.
 Too loose a tension reduces the lifetime of the belt.

• Place the go-kart on a trolley.
• Remove the front wheel or rear wheel with the proper
size wrench.
• Place the wheel on a tyre remover (Available on the
ITAKA catalogue).
• When the tyre (2) is detached on both sides, remove it
completely using tyre irons (6) (available in the ITAKA
catalogue).
• Take the new tyre and grease the tyre in order to
make assembly and removal easier.
• Replace the tyre (2) on the valve side of the wheel rim
(1) ensuring the correct rotation direction.
• Once the tyre is correctly positioned, inflate with a
compressed-air line to a pressure of 3.5 bar so that
the walls make a good seal with the wheel rim. Then
deflate to recommended pressures.
• Reinstall the wheel on the go-kart.
• Check the tightening torque of the mounting nut.
