► The Super Blue brake uid has been designed for
racing use and is used exclusively for this purpose
(forbidden on open road)./ Page 26
► Use brake uid DOT4 only. Using another brake
uid could cause leaks and failure of the brake
system./ Page 26
► Check the pads for wear before every start-
up./ Page 27
► Never drive with excessively worn pads (minimum
thickness for the D18 4-piston calipers (front):
4mm)./ Page 27
► The brake is an essential safety element. If the
braking system is defective or you have the slightest
doubt, do not put the kart in service./ Page 27
► Never drive with excessively worn pads (minimum
thickness of pads for D24 4-piston calipers (rear): 6
mm)./ Page 27
► The brake is an essential safety element. Do not put
the kart in operation if the break system is faulty or if
you have a doubt./ Page 28
► Faulty braking system may lead to a serious or even
fatal injury./ Page 28
► Check connexions of hoses, no leak./ Page 28
► Use brake uid DOT 4 only./ Page 28
► An air bubble in the brake system can lead to a
partial or total lost of brakes and may lead to a
serious or even fatal injury./ Page 29
► Leaks in the brake system may lead to a serious or
even fatal injury./ Page 29
► Moisture in the brake uid may cause vapour lock
and a sudden loss of braking power, may lead to a
serious or even fatal injury./ Page 29
► Use brake uid DOT 4 only/ Page 29
► Test the brake after each bleed./ Page 29
► Do not use any cleaning product that could damage
the seals. A brake uid leak could appear, causing a
serious or fatal accident.
/ Page 33
► If WD-40 or a similar cleaning product is splashed
on the brake disc or calliper, braking will be less
efcient or possibly totally ineffective for a few
revolutions. This could cause a serious or fatal
accident./ Page 37
► Do not apply WD-40 or other cleaning products to
the brake pump./ Page 37
► Change all damaged rims. A damaged rim may lead
to a loss of tyre or loss of pressure and may lead to
a serious or even fatal injury./ Page 38
► Check the tyre wear daily. Worn or damaged tyres
may lead to a serious or even fatal injury./ Page 38
► Never run with worn or damaged tyres: a burst
of tyre may lead to a serious or even fatal
injury./ Page 38
► Always blow up tyre with the pressure
recommended by the manufacturer./ Page 38
► Cold tyres have a reduced adherence, and increase
the loss of control of the kart. This may lead to a
serious or even fatal injury./ Page 38
► Too much grip reduces the stability of the kart under
impact, and lead to a tendency to go on two wheels.
It also increases the risk of riding over./ Page 38
► Store tyres in an appropriate area to prevent re
hazard./ Page 38
► Never inate above 4 bars: there is a risk of severe
injury due to potential failure of the rim. / Page 38
► Spray cleaning product on brake pads or brake
caliper may reduce the braking ability partially or
totally, and can lead to a serious accident./ Page 40
