AUTO START
Electric Start System puts you in control!
|
Once again Amusement Products has changed the way to karts will operate. The company that created the Select One Kart Kommander radio-controlled safety system has added another tool to make operating a go kart track easier. The AUTO START is an engine starter that starts the go kart when the rider pushed the pedal, which has many advantages over pull starters.
Very compact, the AUTO START system fits on top of Gas-Powered engines (5hp-13hp) in the location of the standard fuel tank. The unit can be placed on nearly every manufacturer's kart.
The AUTO START can also be used in combination with Amusement Products' Select One radio control system. When integrated with the Select One system, Auto Start will automatically turn the kart on at the touch of a button on a wireless remote control and shuts the engine off at the end of the ride. The traditional way of starting a go kart by pulling the starter cord is no longer necessary.
Both the integration of an electric starter on a commercial go kart and its integration with the radio-controlled track operating system are truly revolutionary.

Here is what AUTO START will change:
|
-
Attendant can be female since no arm strength is required to start the kart, allowing for more staffing flexibility and better customer service
-
Karts will only run during the ride, saving gas
-
With less run time at idle, your karts will have less engine wear, spark-plug wear, air filter fouling, and oil replacement parts
-
Ease of operation will be dramatically increased because of automatic starting and stopping of engines
-
Emissions are reduced due to less run time and no running at idle

How Auto Start works with Select One:
|
At the start of the ride, the attendant presses the "ride start" button on the wireless remote or from the attendant station, engaging the Auto Start and staring the time. Once the ride has started, the riders can start their own engines by pressing the gas pedal. At the end of the ride, the Select One automatically times out, changing the lights from green to red and shuts the engines off when they are between 100 and 150 feet from the pit )approach area). If a rider stops before coasting into the pit, the attendant can press an approach area release button to allow the rider to restart their engine and drive in. Once they enter the pit area, the engine automatically shuts off again and will not restart until the beginning of the next ride.

How Auto Start works without Select One:
|
The Auto Start starts the engine when the gas pedal is pressed by the rider. It turns the engine off when the pedal is released. It automatically recharges the battery using smart charger technology that will not overcharge the battery. Once the go kart's RPM reaches the speed to engage the drive, the starter motor becomes a generator motor to recharge the battery automatically. Since it is a smart charger, the battery does not get overcharged.
