QUICK REFERENCE
Fuel
WARNING!
This is a two-stroke engine. Only run the engine on fuel, which is properly
mixed with 2-cycle engine oil.
Provide good ventilation when fueling or handling fuel.
Always use gas with a minimum octane number of 89.
Use 2-stroke engine oil only. Mix 50:1, gas:oil mixture.
Never
use multi-grade (10W/30) or waste oil.
Always mix fuel and oil in a separate clean, gas safe container. Always
start by adding half the amount of fuel, which is to be used. Then add the
whole amount of 2-cycle oil. Mix (shake) the fuel container. Add the
remaining amount of fuel. Mix (shake) the fuel-oil thoroughly before filling
the fuel tank.
Fueling
WARNING!
Always shut the engine off when refuelling.
Slowly open the fuel tank, so that possible over-pressure disappears.
Before fueling, clean the tank cap area carefully, to insure that no dirt falls
into the tank. Make sure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the
container.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully, after fueling.
Always move the unit at least 10 feet from the fueling area before starting.
Starting
Set the CHOKE LEVER to the CLOSED (UP) position.
Pull the recoil starter handle briskly, making sure to keep the handle in
your grasp, and not allowing it to snap back.
Once the engine is running, move the CHOKE LEVER to the RUN
(DOWN) position.
Note!
At this stage, if the engine does not start, repeat the starting procedure.
After starting the engine, allow the engine 2-3 minutes to warm up prior to
riding.
Stopping
Gradually decrease the engine speed to an idle speed and press the stop-
switch on the handlebar tube.
If a situation arises that is not covered in the manual, proceed
with caution and use good judgement.
