OPERATION
WARNING:
Always wear appropriate protective clothing and acces-
sories: a properly fitting helmet, eye protection (goggles)
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, gloves, over the ankle
boots, long-sleeved shirt or jacket, chest protector, and
long pants.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields (goggles)
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could
result in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in
possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with product to make you care -
less. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.
SAFETY GEAR
A DOT or Snell-approved motorcycle helmet is the most
important part of your safety gear because it can help prevent
a serious head injury. Choose a helmet that fits snugly.
Retailers can help in selecting a good quality helmet which
fits properly.
Always wear eye protection when you ride. If a rock or branch
hit your eyes, you could be severely injured. Wear shatterproof
goggles that are marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
BREAK-IN
NOTICE:
Carefully and correctly follow the break-in procedures.
Failure to follow the break-in procedures can significantly
shorten the life of your mini bike by causing excessive
wear and damaging the engine.
The first month is the most important in the life of your vehicle.
Proper operating during this break-in period will be helpful for
assuring maximum life and performance of your new mini bike.
The following guidelines explain proper break-in procedures.
Vary the engine rotating speed. Vary the engine rotating
speed during the break-in period. This allows the parts to
“load” and then “unload” (allowing the parts to cool). Although
it is essential to place some stress on the engine components
during break-in, you must be careful not to load the engine
too much.
Avoid constant low or high rotating speed. Operating the
engine at constant low rotating speed (light load) can cause
parts to glaze and not seal properly. Operating the engine at
a constant high rotating speed can cause excessive heat,
which can damage internal components. Allow the engine to
accelerate freely without exceeding the maximum throttle limit.
Allow the engine lubricant to circulate before riding. Allow
enough idling time after warm or cold engine starting. This
allows the lubricant to reach all critical engine components.
Observe and document your initial and most critical
service. The initial service (break-in maintenance) is the most
important service that your vehicle will receive. Observing
a proper break-in operating, will help engine components
seal properly. Maintenance required as part of the initial
service includes proper adjustments, tightening of all bolts
and nuts, and replacement of dirty oil. Timely performance
of this service will help you get the best service life and
performance of the engine.
WARNING:
Always inspect your mini bike according to the pre-ride
inspection checklist each time before riding and make
sure it is in a safe operating condition. Failure to inspect
the mini bike before operating could increase the chance
of an accident, resulting in serious personal injury or
equipment damage.
WARNING:
Always use the size and type of tires specified in this
Operator’s Manual. Always maintain proper tire pressure
as described in the Maintenance section of this manual
and on the unit. Operating this mini bike with improper
tires, or improper tire air pressure, could be hazardous.
If you use improper tires or improper air pressure, you
may lose control of the mini bike and cause an accident,
which could result in serious personal injury.
