Troubleshooting
The kart feels wobbly or loose during operation.
Check that the mounting straps are tightened securely to the hoverboard and that the frame adjustment bolts are fully locked.
The hoverboard does not move when using the levers.
Ensure the hoverboard is powered on and properly calibrated before attaching the kart; check that the levers are making full contact with the pressure sensors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the HK8, align the mounting brackets with the center of your hoverboard foot pads and secure them using the included heavy-duty straps. Adjust the length of the metal frame by loosening the adjustment bolts until your knees rest comfortably behind the levers. Always verify that the straps are not obstructing the hoverboard's wheels or sensors. For care, wipe down the metal frame with a clean, dry cloth after outdoor use to prevent moisture buildup. Periodically inspect the rubber handles and the front wheel assembly for any debris or wear. Store the unit in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the straps and frame finish.
