1. INTRODUCTION
•
The Cobra Jet is a turn-key racing vehicle that requires proper race preparation.
•
Beyond component specific maintenance we recommend you regularly perform a
“nut and bolt” inspection. This is a process of checking all the nuts, bolts, wiring,
belts, hoses, tires, etc. on your vehicle. See the included supplemental Vehicle
BOM and Torque Sheet for all torque specifications.
•
Check your tire pressures as they will change over time and need to be checked
before every run.
•
Prior to any runs, it is necessary to, at a minimum, neutralize the rear suspension.
See Chassis Setup section for the procedure.
•
Change your spark plugs regularly. Fouled plugs can cause your Cobra Jet to run
poorly and lead to engine damage. See sections on Engine and Maintenance for
full details.
•
Ensuring the vehicle is legal for race competition, including SFI certification, is the
responsibility of the racer. Familiarize yourself with the vehicle and the rulebook
for your sanctioning body.
•
Be diligent with the care and maintenance of your vehicle!
ATTENTION!
