Warnings and safety
Riding karts can be dangerous.
Please use caution and prudence and follow the
guidelines below.
• Avoid operating your kart in crowded or confined areas.
• Any children that use the kart are of an appropriate
age and do so under proper supervision.
The recommended age for this kart is 12+.
• Avoid using your kart near any other vehicular traffic or
on public roads.
• Never try to fit more than one person in the kart.
• Always wear a DOT-rated helmet and gloves while
operating the kart.
• Never aim the kart at other people, objects or animals.
• Prior to riding, every rider should familiarize
themselves with:
Handling and storage
• The kart is heavy.
• Use at least two people to lift or move it.
• Some surfaces may be hot after use, handle with
caution. These may be from friction in bearings and
brakes or from the engine.
• If gasoline is spilled on the wood, leave the kart
outside in a well ventilated area to dry before use
or storage. Be very careful about exposure to potential
ignition sources until it dries.
• Do not tip the kart. Fuel may spill from the carburetor if
inclined too much. If you need to stand up the kart, start
the engine and turn off the fuel valve. Let the engine run the
carburetor dry.
• Store the kart in a dry, clean area and coat the wood with
a paint or coating for the longest life.
‒‒ Their environment
‒‒ Any obstacles or dangers.
‒‒ The location and function of the
emergency shutoff switch.
• Inspect the kart prior to each run to make sure that each
element is properly functioning. Test:
‒‒ Brakes lock the rear wheel.
‒‒ Shut off switch kills engine.
‒‒ Clutch, chain, sprocket and sprocket guard are
properly tightened and functioning.
‒‒ The wheels are all on and tightened.
‒‒ The steering system is functioning properly.
‒‒ There are no areas of brake discs, wheels, chain or
other moving elements rubbing on the wood.
‒‒ That all shaft keys (clutch, sprocket, brake disc, wheels)
are installed and secured in place by a tight set screw.
‒‒ Ensure all fasteners are tight and properly torqued.
‒‒ The safety flag is installed.
‒‒ The seat is properly installed and adjusted.
• Do not attempt to leave the ground with the kart.
It is not designed or intended for jumping.
• Ensure the rider has no articles of loose clothing
or hair that could get caught in the spinning
mechanisms of the kart.

Why Wood?
Sure, steel karts are fun and strong, but they require a large
number of specialized tools to build, repair or modify. Tools
that most people don’t have. Wood, on the other hand, can
be crafted with tools available in most homes and all home
improvement stores. We want to provide kits that people
can make their very own, by painting, fixing or modifying and
wood is a natural fit for this.
The wood used in this kit is a 3/4 inch Baltic Birch plywood.
It is a natural fit for the go-kart due to it’s strength and
appearance. The 13 plies make it incredibly strong and
give the end grain a beautiful contrast. Best of all, it can be
modified, repaired or reworked with common household
tools.
What’s in the kit?
Each Plyfly Go-Kart kit arrives in 3 boxes. Box 1 is a flat box
with the wooden structural parts. Box 2 is the engine and
box 3 is the hardware.
1.2.3. That’s it!
Packaging reference
Description
Reference
Box 1 – wood Dimension: 30” x 60” x 3”
Good to know
It is vitally important that anyone riding a go-kart wear the
proper protective gear. The rider should wear, at a minimum,
a full-face DOT-rated engine cycle helmet, gloves and a
helmet supporting neck brace. These items and other safety
equipment are not supplied with the kits but can be found
through many online or retail sellers.
We aim to provide the best assembly documentation in
the industry and will include written instructions and online
videos for all of the crucial steps. We will be available to
help you through the process, so if you need assistance,
please ask. However, this is a kit and the ultimate
build quality is up to you.
Box 2 –engine Dimension: 14” x 14” x 16”
Box 3 – hardware & wheels Dimensions: 24” x 12” x 12”

Getting Started
Introduction
Preparing for a Plyfly Go-Kart build, you will need to cut out
each structural wooden part from the plywood sheets.
The more time spent trimming tabs cleanly will save
a lot of sanding time.
