BREAK - IN
The initial 20 hours of operation is most
important in the life of your Go Kart. Prop-
er operation during this break in period will
help assure maximum life of your Go Kart
engine.
The following guidelines will explain the
proper break in procedures.
1. During the first 10 hours of operation,
do not apply more than 1/2 throttle for
long periods of time.
2. During the next 10 hours of
operation do not apply more the 3/4 for
long periods of time.
Vary the engine speed
Make sure to vary the engine speed dur-
ing the break in period, this allows the
engine to load and unload which helps
the parts to seat properly. It is essential
to place some stress on the engine during
the break in process, however, too much
stress could cause damage to the engine
components. Be careful not to load the
engine too much.
BREAK IN PERIOD
Allow oil to circulate before
operating.
Always allow the Go Kart engine to warm
up before operating. This allows the oil
to circulate throughout the engine which
lubricates the components.
Observe your initial and most
critical maintenance service
The initial service( break in maintenance )
is the most important service for your Go
Kart. During the break-in time frame, all
of the engine components will have mated
together and seated. Maintenance
required as part of the initial service
includes correction of all adjustments,
tightening of all fasteners and replace-
ment of dirty oil. Timely performance of
this maintenance will help make sure your
Go Kart will have the best service life and
performance of the engine.
