Using this karting seat is easy. Just install it in your kart according to the standard installation process. When you're sitting in it, adjust your position to make sure you're comfortable. Remember, since it's a smaller seat designed for cadet drivers, it might not fit adults properly. As for maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it with a damp cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they could damage the seat's material. Also, because it doesn't qualify for free shipping, be prepared for the shipping cost when you order it.
