BASIC OPERATION
The following section of the manual provides some basic information on
how to begin riding your TT40 Gas Minibike. We will cover how to start and stop the
engine, how to use the throttle and brake and what you should do when you finish
riding.
Before riding this minibike, be sure that you have read and understand this entire
owner’s manual up to this point, including the sections that are titled
Important
Safety Information
and
Before Riding.
Even if you have ridden other minibike in
the past, take time to become familiar with how this minibike runs and how it
handles. Different minibikes have different handling characteristics. Always
practice in a safe area until you feel comfortable with how this minibike runs and
handles.
For your safety,
NEVER
run the engine in an enclosed space
with poor ventilation, such as a garage. The exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide which can collect rapidly and cause illness or death.
This minibike is not equipped with lights. Do not ride after dark.
1. Move the kill switch to the
ON
position.
3. If the engine is cold, flip the choke lever into the
START
position.
If the engine is warm, you may not need to use the choke at all.
4. Press the fuel primer bulb a several times.
5. Stand on the left side of the minibike and hold the left-hand grip.
6. Using your right hand, pull the starter handle upward sharply until it starts,
lowering the handle back to the recoiled position gently.
7. Once the engine starts to run, let it warm up by operating the throttle for
about 20 seconds, slowly move the choke lever to the
RUN
position.
8. Let it warm up a little. Once the engine is warm, the idle will smooth out and the
minibike will be ready to ride.
NOTE: Extended running with the choke fully on will cause the engine to run poorly
and can cause damage to the spark plug and cylinder wall.
