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 go-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 go-karts). Never engage in stunt riding, jumping, or operate the vehicles under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Manco products are 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.

While Manco sells fun, they also promote safety. Making safe products for everyone is foremost in everyone's mind at Manco. 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. Their commitment to cutting edge product development, design and testing has resulted in numerous safety innovations, many of which Manco was first in the industry to implement: 

1) A three point lap/shoulder seat belt restraint system tested to automotive standards.
2) A brightly colored whip flag increases the kart's visibility in hilly terrain. 
3) Fully padded brush bars.
4) Shoulder bolts on throttle and brake pedals cannot be over-tightened. 
5) Axle covers and safety shields help prevent entanglement in moving parts.
