SECTION 2
A. Operation controls
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.
Every 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 this unit if pedal or engine throttle linkage fail to return to the idle position. If unable to
correct the problem through lubrication, adjustment or replacement of worn parts, contact your dealer
for assistance.

B. Throttle
The right foot pedal is the throttle and controls the speed of the kart. As the engine speed increases above idle, the driver pulley automatically engages
the drive belt and moves the vehicle forward. To disengage the driver pulley at any time, allow the throttle to return to the idle position.
C. Brake
The brake is controlled by the left foot pedal (See Figure below). Applying pressure to the pedal draws the brake pads against the brake disc at the rear
axle and slows or stops the kart. The locking lever can be applied to act as a park brake and should remain applied during starting and engine warming
(choke cycle). See I. Park Brake for more instruction.
D. Fuel Valve
(see fig. D1)
The manual valve is mounted to the bottom of the fuel tank and provides the added feature of a “reserve”
position which provides access to a reserve fuel supply allowing additional driving range to get to a fuel
filling station should the main fuel supply be used completely.
NOTE: Turn fuel valve to OFF position during transport
E. Engine Starting
(see fig. E1)
For parental control and added security, this unit is equipped with a keyed ignition switch.
To start the unit, ensure both Engine Stop Switches are in the RUN position.
(NOTE: Your
Fun-Kart is equipped with (2) engine stop switches, one located on the dash and
one located on the swing arm. BOTH switches must be in the “RUN” position for the
engine to start.)
Place the unit in the NEUTRAL gear. Fasten seatbelt and place one foot
on the brake pedal. Pump the throttle pedal several times to ensure that the pedal operates
and returns smoothly. Apply choke by pulling out and holding the choke cable located under
the driver’s seat. Turn ignition key fully clockwise and hold to start the engine. (Caution:
Do not let the engine turn over for more than 5 seconds at a time as this may cause starter
damage). Once the engine starts, allow the key to return to the run position. Adjust the
choke by pushing it in slowly. If the engine starts to run rough, pull the choke control out
slightly and then continue to push the choke control in after the engine can accept small
applications of the gas pedal. Continue this process until the choke control is pushed all
the way in (fully “OFF”). This may require a period of several seconds to several minutes,
depending on the air temperature. Before driving this vehicle, test that the ignition switch will
turn off the engine. With the engine running, turn the ignition key counter-clockwise to the
“OFF” position to shut down the engine.
F. Engine Stop Switch
(see fig. F1)
Before driving this vehicle, test each Engine Stop Switch to ensure that it is operating properly. With the engine running,
switch the Engine Stop Switch to the STOP position to shut down the engine. (The STOP position may be identified on the
switch by the word “STOP”, the word “OFF”, or the symbol “O”.) Repeat the process for the other Engine Stop Switch. With
the engine running, turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position to shut down the engine.
