Jato 3.3 • 33

Introduction

Your TRX 3.3 Racing Engine is broken in, the fuel mixture is balanced,
and the idle is set…now it’s time to have some fun! This section contains
instructions on making adjustments to your Jato. Before you go on, here
are some important precautions to keep in mind.

Don’t run your Jato in water, mud, snow, or wet grass.

It’s tempting,

but water and mud are easily drawn through the air filter and will
severely damage the engine. Small amounts of moisture can cause
electronics to fail and loss of control over your Jato. Snow is frozen
water. Do not drive the Jato in snow or the electronics could be
damaged by water.

The TRX 3.3 Racing Engine is extremely powerful. Remember to apply
the throttle gradually to prevent wheelies or loss of control.

Don’t hold Jato off the ground and rev the engine excessively
with no load on the engine. This practice could result in internal
engine damage. Avoid over revving the engine when Jato is airborne
after a jump.

Avoid excessive high-speed running for extended periods of time or
over long distances. This could cause the engine to build up enough
speed to exceed maximum safe RPM limits.

Don’t drive your Jato with drive train damage of any kind. The engine
could be damaged due to overloads caused by drivetrain friction, or
over-revving caused by loose or missing parts.

Don’t tow anything with your Jato. The engine is cooled by airflow
created by speed. Towing creates a high load on the engine, and at
the same time limits cooling of the engine due to low vehicle speed.

If your Jato gets stuck, stop driving immediately. Move the vehicle
and then continue driving.

Never turn off the radio system while the engine is running. The truck
could run out of control.

Driving Tips

Jato is very fast. Select a large area to drive with few opportunities for
collision until you become familiar with Jato’s speed and handling.

When jumping, apply some throttle while Jato is in the air to keep the
truck’s nose up and land level on all four wheels. Be careful not to
over-rev the engine or land at full throttle. Either could seriously
damage your Jato. If the nose of the truck is too high, then quickly
tap the brake to level the truck in the air.

Drive over large obstacles (such as curbs and rocks) slowly at an
angle, instead of head on. This will allow the suspension to articulate
and absorb the impact much easier.

Change or clean your air filter element after each hour of running.
This is critical for the life of your engine. Running time includes the
engine break-in period.
