A total range of 11mm rear ride height adjustment isavailable in three settings; low, central and high. The karts are supplied from the factory with theaxle set in the “Central” position. By lowering the axle to the “Low” position the kart’s rear rideheight will have increased by 5.5mm or by rasing the axle to the “High” position the kart’s rearride height will have reduced by 5.5mm.Arrow self-aligning Seat WashersThe AX8 range of karts is supplied with Arrow’s unique self-centering seat washer system. Fittingbetween the chassis seat supports and the seat, these washers insure that there are no torsionalloads placed on the seat through mis-matching angles between the seat and the chassis. Theseat does have an influence on the handling characteristics of a kart as it is an important torsionalmember on a kart’s chassis structure. As such, the Arrow self-aligning seat washers are a majorasset in alleviating pre-loads within the kart (see below).SPECIAL NOTE:The flat bottom of the seat MUST BE HELD PARALLEL to the ground when fitting the seat!
