PREPARATION
FOR
SHAKE
‐
DOWN
Before
taking
to
the
track,
it
is
important
that
you
carry
out
a
thorough
spanner
check,
paying
particular
attention
to
all
hoses,
connections
and
suspension
fixings,
brake
bias
etc.
The
oil
level
must
be
checked
using
the
dip
stick
supplied.
The
level
must
be
maintained
between
the
top
two
marks
when
hot,
and
between
the
bottom
two
marks
when
cold.
The
level
should
be
checked
AFTER
running
the
engine,
and
holding
the
revs
at
3,000rpm
for
ten
seconds,
to
allow
the
oil
to
be
scavenged
back.
The
engine
should
be
turned
off,
to
check
the
level.
Radical

Warning

not
rev
the

more
than

until

When
cold
the

run
at

which
may
damage
the
oil
cooler.
In
the
brake
and
clutch
master
cylinders,
use
only

to
the
top
of
the
swirl
pot.
