SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
B. Engine L ubrication
C. Spark Plug
D. Cleaning Adjustment
You must change the oil in the crankcase after the first 5 hours of operating (See Fig.7)
and after every 10 hours of use thereafter. This will insure proper lubrication of the in ternal
parts and prevent costly repairs due to excessive wear.
A.Remove the spark plug and inspect it each time you
change the oil (Use a spark plug wrench).The electrodes
should be kept clean and free of carbon.The presence of
carbon or excess oil will greatly reduce engine perfor-
mance.If possible,check the spark plug gap (area bet-
ween electrodes)using a wire feeler gauge.This speci-
fication is 0.6-0.7 mm.
b.Before installing the spark plug coat the threads
lightly with graphite grease if possible,to ensure easy
removal next time the spark plug needs inspection.
c.It is advisable to replace the spark plug at least once
a year to ensure easy starting and good engine performance.
Never make unnecessary adjustments.The factory recommended settings are correct for
most applications.
a.Remove the drain plug located on the right rear side
of the engine.Tip the kart backwards slightly by blocking
up the front end and drain the oil into suitable container.
b.Remove and clean the oil filter.
C.Replace the drain plug and tighten securely.Place the
kart in a level positon.
d.Refill the crankcase (approximately 11/4 pint)to the
top of the filler neck with SAE 10W40 oil.
e.Check the oil level before each use of the kart or
after each 10 hours of operation.Add oil when necessary
to keep the level between the bottom of the dipstick and
the 0 mark.Do not mix various grades of oil.
