C. SERVICE ENGINE OIL AND FILTER
Replace engine oil: You must change the oil in the crankcase after the first 1,000
kilometers of use thereafter. That will insure proper lubrication of internal parts
and prevent costly repairs due to excessive wear.
1. Start the engine, and warm it up about 3 minutes, and
then stop it.
2. After about 5 minutes, remove the oil gauge cap, drain
the engine oil.
3. Remove and clean the net filter of the draining bolt.
4. Fill in approx. 1,700 cc of engine oil when replace the
oil filter together.
(Fill in only 1,500 cc of engine oil when without replacing
the oil filter.)
5. Repeat step #1~2, check the oil gauge, make sure the
oil level is between the MAX and MIN.
6. Check oil level before each use of kart or after each
1,000 kilometers of operation. Add oil to
bring up to proper level. Do not mix various
grades of oil.
Replace engine oil filter:
1. Use a filter tape wrench to remove the oil filter.
2. Make sure that the O-rings of pre-filter and oil filter are not worn.
3. Lubricate the O-ring and replace net filter and oil filter; tighten with below
torque:
Engine oil draining bolt: 24~30 N-m
Oil filter: 12~16 N-m
4. Replace a new oil filter after lubricating the
O-ring, then screw it up to touching the gasket
and tighten further the recommended torque.
