THROTTLE VALVE HANDLE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
Correct clearance allows throttle vale
handle to rotate 2~6mm.
Loosen the lock nut first, then turn the adjust
nut to adjust. Tighten the lock nut securely
when finished.
Check Items:
1. Check throttle valve cable to see if it can be
moved smoothly from a closed position to a
wide open position.
2. Rotate steering handle from side to side to
check if the throttle valve cable is interfered.
3. Check to see if the throttle valve cable is
obstructed by other cables preventing it from
being operated smoothly.
TIRE INSPECTION
Tires should be checked and inflated with the engine shut off.
If a tire’s ground contacting curve is abnormal, check it with an air pressure gauge and inflate it to the
specified pressure.
Tires pressure must be checked with an air pressure gauge when cold.
Visual check tires for frontal and lateral side walls
for crack or damage.
Visual check tires for any nails or small stones
wedged in the tread.
Check the “tread wear indicator” condition to see if
tread groove depth is insufficient.
A tire with a wear bar showing is worn out and
should be replaced immediately.
CAUTION
：
Abnormal tire pressure, wear, or crack is the most important cause that results in the loss control of the
steering handle and a punctured tire(s).
