A. Operation controls
WARNING - Do not attempt to start or operate the engine until completely familiar with the
location and use of each control necessary to operate this vehicle. The operator must know how
to stop this machine before starting and driving it.
a. Throttle
The right foot pedal is the throttle that controls the Kart speed. As the engine speed
increases above idle, the clutch automatically engages and moves the vehicle forward. To
disengage the clutch at any time, allow the throttle to return to the idle position.
(See Fig. 1)
b. Brake
The brake is located on the left side of the kart (See Fig.1). Applying pressure to the
pedal draws the brake caliper around the brake pump at the rear wheel and slows or stops
the kart.
c. Start engine
Insert the key into key-switch, turn the
key clockwise, release the key when the
engine starts. The engine will warm up
within 5 minutes and the engine choke
will close automatically and operate at
the normal RPM (Warning: Don’t crank
starter more than 5 seconds at one time).
d. Engine stop button
Important-stop button test.
Before driving this vehicle, test the Engine
Stop Button to assure that it is operating properly. With the engine running, push and hold the
Engine Stop Button for two seconds for the engine to shut down.
Figure 1
Each time prior to starting the engine, check the throttle assembly to ensure
that when the pedal is pushed all the way forward the assembly is working
smoothly and returns to idle when released. Do not operate if pedal or engine throttle
linkage fail to return to idle. If unable to correct the problem through lubrication,
adjustment or replacement of worn parts, contact your dealer for assistance.
