Check The Oil
To check the oil, remove the dipstick from the engine. (See Figures
below) Wipe clear any oil from the dipstick and place it back in
the hole it was removed from. Do NOT twist the dipstick back into
place, doing so will give you a false reading. Push the dipstick down
until the threads on the cap prevent it from going any farther. Pull
the dipstick out and check the oil level. If additional oil is needed,
please refer to the engine owner’s manual for directions on how to
add/change the oil. After checking the oil, be sure to screw the
dipstick back into place.
Check The Fuel
If more fuel is needed, using a funnel proceed to add gas to the tank
until it is full. Do NOT overfill the tank, doing so may cause damage
to the kart or increased risk of fire. Do NOT open the fuel cap while
the go-kart engine is running, doing so may cause serious injury. 93
octane fuel is recommended. Be sure that the fuel is clean and fresh.
If the kart will not be used for 30 days or longer, be sure to use a fuel
stabilizer. Do NOT attempt to mix the gas and the oil. This is a four
stroke engine and does NOT require the mixing of gas and oil.
Bolts/Connections
Inspect the connections on the go-kart that involve nuts, bolts, pins,
and other moving components. Be sure that all connections are
secure and that there are no major problems visible with the go-kart.
If bolts need to be tightened, use the proper wrench to tighten.
