SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING! ATVs, scooters, Fun Karts and Bikes can be hazardous to operate. Failure to understand and follow Warnings and Instructions for the safe use and maintenance of these products may result in Death or Injury! For your safety: Always wear an approved helmet, eye protection, protective clothing and seat belts (on Fun karts). Avoid stationary objects and obstacles that create the potential for collision. Avoid excessive speeds and be particularly careful on difficult terrain. Never carry passengers (except on 2 seat Fun karts). Never engage in stunt riding, jumping, or operate the vehicles under the influence of drugs or alcohol. For off road use only (except scooter). Youth models should only be ridden during daylight hours under adult supervision. Check your state and local laws for legal operation. Read owner's manual and watch safety video (except scooter) before operating vehicle.

GO KART vs. FUN KART Fun Karts are a subset of, and differ from, the larger “Go Kart” (go-cart, GoCart, etc..) family, which includes on road, competitive and commercial/rental vehicles. In contrast, ASW Fun Karts are motorized vehicles with 4 wheels, excluding vehicles where the operator and passenger, if any, sit astride, and are sold commercially as consumer goods and intended for private, personal, recreational use by consumers for off-road use on suitable terrain per ASW’s recommendations. Fun Karts are limited to speeds over 12mph but not in excess of 40mph. For more information, refer to our Fun Kart Safety Manual.

While American SportWorks sells fun, we also promote safety. Making safe products for everyone is foremost in everyone's mind at American SportWorks. The company offers unmatched product safety by working with the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the American Fun Kart Association to develop and implement industry standards for Fun karts. Our commitment to cutting edge product development, design and testing has resulted in numerous safety innovations, many of which American SportWorks was first in the industry to implement:

3-Point Restraint A three point lap/shoulder seat belt restraint system.

Overhead Brush Bars

Shoulder Bolts Shoulder bolts on throttle and brake pedals cannot be over-tightened.

Safety Guards Axle covers and safety guards help prevent entanglement in moving parts.

Engine Shut-Off Switch An engine shut off switch is located directly on the Subaru engines of the karts. A second stop switch is also located on the steering wheel or dash panel, accessible from the seated operator's position.

Whip Flag A brightly colored whip flag increases the kart's visibility in hilly terrain.
