slides down into the middle of the spring. The rubber seal on the
screen should rest on the top of the spring.
11. Insert the assembly into the filter cap housing and tighten.
12. Insert the drain plug into the drain plug housing and torque to
12 ft/lbs.
13. Fill the go-kart with 25-31 ounces of API classification
SF-SG (SAE 15W-40) engine oil. Do NOT overfill. Doing so
may cause catastrophic engine failure
14. Start the engine and check the go-kart for any leaks.
15. Allow the go-kart to idle for a few minutes then turn the engine
off.
16. Using the dipstick, check the oil level. 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.
17. It may be necessary to add additional oil to the go-kart to reach
the recommended operating amount.
Final Gear Oil
The final gear oil level should be checked on a monthly basis. API
service standard GL-5, GL-4, GL-3 SAE 80W 90 gear oil is
recommended in the final drive case. If your go-kart is going to
operate in extreme cold weather conditions, it is suggested that a
lighter viscosity oil be used. For extreme cold weather conditions,
use a 75 weight gear oil.
Checking the Final Gear Oil
1. To check the level of the Final Gear Oil, remove the level screw
on the back, left side of the engine case. If gear oil does not come
out of the hole when the screw is removed, add gear oil until it
begins to come out of the hole.

2. Replace the level screw and tighten into place.
Changing the Final Gear Oil
1. Allow the engine to idle ten minutes before attempting to change
the Final Gear Oil.
2. Remove the Gear Oil drain plug from the bottom side of the
engine casing and allow all Gear Oil to drain into an approved
container.
3. After the Gear Oil has finished draining, replace the drain plug
and tighten.
4. Remove the level screw located on the back, left side of the rear
engine case.
5. Add Gear Oil until it begins to come out of the opening.
6. Replace the level screw and tighten into place.
Changing The Air Filter
The air filter housing for this go-kart should be cleaned after every
10-20 hours of operation. It is important that the air filter housing be
cleaned regularly to prevent damage to the engine. It may be
necessary to clean the filter housing, and change the air filter more
frequently if you live in a climate, or operate the go-kart on terrain
with dusty conditions.
