Maintenance
Engine Oil
The engine oil must be changed after the first five (5) hours of use.
This will allow for an initial break in period for the engine. After
the first five hours, the engine oil should be changed every fifty (50)
hours. This engine uses the following engine oil: SF-SG (SAE 15W-
40)
Checking the engine oil
1. Park the go-kart on a flat surface.
2. Unscrew dipstick and wipe with a clean cloth.
3. Return the dipstick to the hole. For an accurate reading, push the
dipstick in until the threads catch. Do not screw the dipstick back
into the hole, doing so will cause a false oil reading.
Changing the engine oil
1. Allow the kart to run for five (5) minutes or until the engine
warms.
2. Turn the kart off.
3. Place an approved container below the oil plug to catch the oil as
it flows from the engine. The container should hold at least
one (1) gallon of fluid.
4. With the approved container in place, remove the engine oil drain
plug. Allow all of the oil to drain from the go-kart.
5. All of the oil in the engine should be drained before replacing the
components and attempting to add engine oil.
6. Remove the oil filter cap, spring, and oil filter screen. Inspect
each component to ensure that it is in proper working order.
7. Inspect the O-ring (located at the base of the threads on the oil
filter plug) and filter screen for damage, wear, and debris
before attempting to re-assemble the plug and add oil to the
go-kart.
8. Holding the filter cap (bolt down), place the O-ring around the
threads located on the top side. The O-ring should slide down to
the base of the threads.
9. Place the spring (rounded side down) in the hole on the top side
of the filter cap. The hole is located in the center of the threads.
The spring should be inserted so that the rounded side slides in the
hole. Do NOT force the spring into the hole.
10. Place the oil filter screen into the hole located on the topside of
the spring. The filter screen should be inserted so that the screen
