instructions on how to change the gear oil.
Breaking In The Engine
The first twenty (20) hours of operation are the most critical for the
engine. During this initial break in period, it is important that you
monitor carefully the load, throttle, and stress on the engine. Do
NOT place excessive weight on the go-kart. Excessive weight places
more strain on the engine and can lead to overheating. It is very
important that the engine has many opportunities to cool itself
during the break in period. During the first twenty (20) hours of
operation, the engine components position themselves into the proper
clearance for maximum performance. It is important that these
guidelines are followed to allow for maximum performance from
your go-kart.
1. 0-10 hours of operation
Do NOT accelerate past half (1/2) throttle for long periods of
time.
Do NOT operate the machine at one continuous throttle. Vary the
throttle during operation. Allow the engine to cool for ten minutes
after each hour of use.
2. 10-20 hours of operation
Do not accelerate past three-quarter (3/4) throttle for long periods
of time. Vary the throttle during operation, and avoid maximum
acceleration. Allow the engine to cool for ten minutes after each
1.5 hours of operation.
3. After 20 hours
Vary acceleration while driving. Do NOT use full throttle for long
periods of time. Allow the engine to cool occasionally during
long periods of operation.
Brake Fluid
1. The brake fluid should be checked regularly to ensure that the
brakes will operate properly.
2. To check the brake fluid, locate the brake fluid reservoir mounted
on the frame directly behind the driver’s seat.
3. Using the level indicator (the line going across the width of the
brake fluid reservoir cylinder, be sure that the brake fluid level reaches
the recommended level on the cylinder.
4. If it is necessary to add fluid, ONLY use DOT 4 brake fluid. Do
NOT over-fill the reservoir.
5. Do NOT allow the brake fluid level to drop below the halfway
point in the cylinder.
