Check The Oil
To check the oil, remove the dipstick from the engine. (See Figure
below) Wipe clear any oil from the dipstick and place it back in
the hole it was removed from. Do NOT twist the dipstick back into
place, doing so will give you a false reading. Push the dipstick down
until the threads on the cap prevent it from going any farther. Pull
the dipstick out and check the oil level. If additional oil is needed,
please refer to the maintenance section of this manual for directions
on how to add/change the oil. After checking the oil, be sure to
screw the dipstick back into place.
Check The Fuel
To check the fuel level, remove the cap from the tank and observe
the amount of fuel. If more fuel is needed, using a funnel proceed to
add gas to the tank until it is full. Do NOT overfill the tank, doing so
may cause damage to the kart or increased risk of fire. Do NOT open
the fuel cap while the go-kart engine is running, doing so may cause
serious injury. Use only 93 octane fuel. Be sure that the fuel is clean
and fresh. If the kart will not be used for 30 days or longer, be sure
to use a fuel stabilizer.
Bolts/Connections
Inspect the connections on the go-kart that involve nuts, bolts, pins,
and other moving components. Be sure that all connections are
secure and that there are no major problems visible with the go-kart.
If bolts need to be tightened, use the proper wrench to tighten.
Tires
Check the air pressure in the tires. The air pressure in the tire should
register 12-14 psi with no driver/passenger. Inspect the tire for loose
bolts, worn spots, and damage. Do NOT operate the go-kart with any
damaged, worn, or loose components on the tire. If you have any
questions, contact our customer service line at 1-877-855-0196 or

Undercarriage
Before operating the CrossFire 150, check the bottom of the unit for
grass, dirt, and/or objects that could catch fire. Remove these objects
or any debris that is stuck to the bottom. Failure to remove debris
could result in fire or injury.
Cables
Be sure that all cables are secured and in place. Do NOT operate the
go-kart if cables are loose or hanging. Check all connectors to ensure
that they are firmly in place.
Brake Test
On level ground, with the driver seated and properly secure in the
safety harness, release the handbrake and SLOWLY push the go-kart
from behind. Have the driver apply the foot brake to ensure that the
vehicle will stop. Do NOT attempt to push the vehicle up or down
any angle of slope, doing so may cause injury.
Brakes
Be sure that the foot brake is working properly and that all associated
cables are connected. Check for brake fluid leakage as well as
a loose foot pedal. When the pedal is engaged, it should engage
smoothly and with firm resistance. Engage the parking brake to be
sure it is working properly. Disengage the parking brake before
attempting to drive the vehicle.
