For optimal performance, use SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 API SG or higher motor oil designed for 4-stroke engines.
It is recommended to change the oil every 100 hours of operation or at least once a year, whichever comes first.
The recommended tire pressure is 2.9 psi (20 kPa) for the front tires and 3.6 psi (25 kPa) for the rear tires.
To adjust the idle speed, locate the idle adjustment screw on the carburetor and turn it clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the idle speed. Aim for an idle speed of 1,400 ± 100 rpm.
Check the fuel level, ensure the engine stop switch is in the 'RUN' position, inspect the spark plug for fouling, and ensure the battery is charged. If these steps don't help, consult a professional mechanic.
Remove the air filter cover, take out the filter element, and wash it in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly, allow it to dry completely, and apply air filter oil before reinstalling.
The recommended spark plug is the NGK DPR8EA-9. Ensure it is properly gapped to 0.8 - 0.9 mm (0.031 - 0.035 in) before installation.
Start by checking the battery connections for tightness and corrosion. Inspect fuses for any signs of blowing and replace if necessary. Use a multimeter to check voltage levels and continuity in the wiring harness.
The fuel tank capacity is 2.4 gallons (9.1 liters), including the 0.6-gallon (2.3 liters) reserve.
Regularly inspect the brake pads for wear and replace them if they are below the minimum thickness. Check brake fluid levels and top up with DOT 4 brake fluid as necessary. Ensure there is no air in the brake lines.
