6.3 - Cleaning the chassis
The cleaning of the chassis and its components is to be
done with a special cleaning product (refer to the ITAKA
website). Do not use the product on brake pads and
brake calipers.
This uid cleans, removes grease, protects, lubricates
and protects the rotating parts from damp (stub axle, tie
rods, etc).
● Protect the break calipers and the brake disk with a
dry piece of cloth.
● Spray the whole kart with the cleaning product, and
let it act for 30 seconds.
● Wipe the frame and the components with a dry
cloth.
