ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The XR50 can be switched off using a red STOP button (included), which can be mounted on a
kart’s frame or steering wheel (recommended). From there, a wire (with connector) leads to
the engine casing, and is plugged in to the corresponding connector.
!TIP: when mounting the STOP button to a steering wheel, it is important to leave enough slack
to allow the wheel to turn, lock-to-lock, without pulling or binding the wire.
STARTER WIRE: SEE STARTER, 3.8

(due to extreme temperatures).
ATTN: EXHAUST PIPE MUST BE ASSEMBLED WITHOUT STRESS LOADS
