(1) Pre-check of the vehicle Thoroughly check the vehicle before driving; this may reduce the chances of any problems arising during operation.
Items Gas quantity Oil quantity Brakes Rocker Accelerator handle Wipers Tires Lights and indicators Battery Connections & fittings Mirrors Contents Is there enough Is there enough Efficiency, smooth response Rock freely from left to right Twists smoothly Work properly Air pressure, wear & tear All lights work properly Check voltage level Check for loose connections Position correctly
(2) Checking the Engine Oil Engine oil is regarded as the life blood of the engine. If the oil is low or too dirty the life of the engine may be shortened. Check the oil regularly and replace it when necessary. 1. Make sure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface when checking the oil. 2. For the most accurate reading, wait at least 2 hours after the engine stops before checking the oil.
(3) Checks and Adjustments for the Braking System Front Brake - Check the brake pads regularly to determine whether they have worn down to the caution line. If so, see a technician to change both brake pads. - - - If the brake handle feels soft but the brake pads are still in good condition, it may be a result of low brake fluid or there might be a leak in the system. - To check for fluid leakage hold the brake handle tightly for several minutes. After doing so, check to see whether there is any fluid leaking from the any of the connections along the brake line or from the reservoir. Refilling the Brake Fluid: a. Position the handlebar horizontally so that the brake fluid reservoir is level. b. Remove both the cover of the reservoir and the membrane. c. Fill the reservoir with the specified fluid to the upper oil level, then put the membrane and cover back. **This vehicle uses DOT #3 or DOT #4 brake fluid**
- - Warning
- If you find that the soft brake hose and the joining piece are distorted, cracked, or broken and fluid is leaking, please ask a professional technician to check and repair the problem immediately. - Please use high quality braking fluid. - - Please add braking fluid of the same specification. (Mixing braking fluids of different specifications - may lead to a toxic chemical reaction and result in brake system failure). - When adding braking fluid, make sure that no water enters the master cylinder, as this will cause the boiling point of the braking fluid to be lowered. - Clean spilled braking fluid immediately. (Braking fluid will erode painted surfaces or rubber parts). - If the braking fluid level cannot reach the standard position, please ask the service center to check and diagnose the problem.
3. The oil filling port is located on the right side of the crank case cover. Remove the dipstick from the port, wipe it clean, plug it back into the port, and remove it once more to check the oil level. 4. If the oil level is close to the lower limit line on the dipstick, refill the oil immediately to reach the upper limit line on the dipstick. When complete, screw the cover on tightly and check for possible oil leaks.
Rear Brake - - - Turn the nut on the brake arm to the right. Make sure the end of the nut fits flush with the brake arm. Step on the braking pedal. If the abrasion mark > on the rear brake hoof meets with the worn mark < on the cover of the brake, replace the brake pads in a timely fashion as the rear brake pads have almost worn out.
The vehicle is equipped with a linkage braking system; the free stroke of the braking pedal should be 20-30mm.
2. Parking Lock If the parking lock handle does not work properly, please follow the steps below to inspect and adjust it. - - - Remove the floor mat and loosen the three screws on the floorboard to remove the small plastic cover. (Figure 2) Hold nut #1 stationary and turn nut #2 clockwise to tighten. (Figure 3) If you have adjusted the nuts, and the parking lock still does not work properly, please inspect whether spring 1, spring 2, pawl, or pawl-wheel is not working properly. If there are any issues found with the springs replace the springs immediately.
(4) Checks and Adjustments for the Rocker and Parking Lock
1. Rocker (Tilting Mechanism) If you have difficulty locking the rocker, you can adjust the compression stroke of the spring, according to figure 1.
3. Replace the tires if they are worn, damaged or badly nicked. (5) Checks and Adjustments for the Accelerator **Make sure that the engine idles properly before you make any adjustments to the accelerator. If the engine doesnt idle properly you must adjust the idle first** 1. Check the twisting capability of the accelerator handle from wide open to closed. Check the condition of the wire from the accelerator handle to the carburetor. If the wire is broken, frail, or not well laid replace it or have it laid again. 2. When adjusting the free stroke of the accelerator handle, loosen the fixing nut and turn the adjusting nut to the desired position, then tighten the fixing nut. 4. Check the tires for nails, sand or dirt in the veins.
(6) Checking the Tires 1. Regularly check the tire pressure (when the tires are cool). Abnormal tire pressure may result in excessive abrasion and ware of the tires, which can be dangerous to you and the vehicle. 2. When the depth of the grooves in the middle of the front and rear tires are less 1.6 mm or the tire looks worn or cracked, replace both the front and rear tires. If the veins are over abraded, the stability of the vehicle will be strongly affected, which may potentially cause an accident due to lose of control. (7) Checking the Front and Rear Shock Absorbers Press down on the handlebar and on the seat, bouncing the cab, to see if the shock absorbers are working properly.
(8) Checking the Handlebar 1. Turn the handlebar in every direction to see if it moves freely. 2. Check the agility of the handlebar. Make sure there are no restrictions.
3. If the handlebar is crooked when the front wheel is pointing foreword, the handlebar is out of alignment. Consult a technician immediately and refrain from driving until corrected.
Breaking in Your New Vehicle The engine in a new vehicle needs to be properly broken in. When parts of the engine are worn in correctly a natural clearance is produced in the cylinder, which will extend the life of the engine. Proper break in procedures should be followed during the first 600 miles. The essentials of a proper break in are as follows: 1. Maximum speed during break in should not exceed 40mph. 2. After starting the vehicle, idle the engine adequately to let the oil flow to all of the important parts of the engine before driving. 3. While driving; vary your speed frequently so that the vehicle does not constantly remain at the same RPM. Avoid running the engine at low speeds for extended periods of time. Dont drive the vehicle at a high speed or at wide open throttle. 4. Try to stay on level roads while driving.
(9) Checking the Lights and Indicators 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and start the vehicle. The low beams should illuminate along with the instrument panel. 2. Turn on the left and the right turn signals to make sure that the front and rear indicator lights flash in unison. 3. Hold the front brake and push the rear brake pedal to see if the brake lights work. 4. Turn on the high beam light switch and check if the high beams work properly. 5. Press the horn to see if it sounds.
(10) Checking the Instrument Board Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and start the engine.
** It is recommended that a professional technician inspect the vehicle after driving the first 600 miles to ensure that the engine has been properly broken in**
1. Check if the hands of the instrument cluster work properly. 2. Drive slowly to check if the odometer works.
(11) Checking the Side Mirrors 1. While seated in driving position, manually adjust each of the side mirrors to your eye level. (12) Checking the License Plate 1. Check if the license plate is damaged or missing.
(1) Inspecting and Cleaning the Spark Plug 1. Inspecting the spark plug:
- Disassemble the spark plug and keep it connected to the coil. - Hold the spark plug while in the coil so that it touches the metal frame of the vehicle. -Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and push the start button. If the ignition system is functioning correctly, you will notice a spark arcing from the plug to the frame. If there is no spark, replace the plug. ** If a new spark plug is needed please use spark plug # CR7HSA**
- Make sure that the pole clearance of the plug is 0.7 mm.
Caution: Warning: DO NOT inspect the spark plug around the cylinder cover, because the spark being produced may ignite the flammable gases in the cylinder. In order to reduce the possibility of being shocked, make certain that you touch the tip of the spark plug to a location on the frame that is not painted, where the metal is exposed. Warning: People with heart conditions (or with a pace maker) should not perform this inspection. 2. Cleaning the spark plug: - Carbon deposit or an oversized clearance in the plug will lead to a malfunctioning ignition. Use a spark plug cleaner to clean the carbon deposits. - - Tightening the plug excessively may cause damage to the thread of the cylinder cover. Please avoid impurities entering the engine through the plughole while disassembling the plug.
(2) Inspecting and Replacing of Fuse Turn off the ignition switch before inspecting if the fuse is blown. Make sure that the all power to the vehicle is cut before inspecting the fuse pipe. To inspect the fuse, unscrew and remove the small door that houses the battery. Next, locate the fuse that is connected to the positive side of the battery and open the small plastic case that contains it. Inspect
the fuse and make sure that it is not burnt or broken in the center. If the fuse is burnt or broken in the center the fuse has blown and needs to be replaced. If the fuse needs to be replaced, please use the specified fuse (15A). Remove the two screws on the cover of the battery, and open the cover. Open the fuse box and take out the fuse and replace if necessary.
5. Once the filter is completely dry, immerse it in oil. After saturation, take it out and extrude oil.
Fuse specs: 15A (3) Cleaning the Air Filter Please periodically clean the air filter. If it is clogged, the intake resistance will increase and output power will decrease causing an increase in fuel consumption. 1. Unscrew the three bolts to remove the air box cover (which is located to the left of the exhaust in front of the carburetor). 2. Remove the air box cover. 3. Pull out the bracket that contains the air filter than detach the air filter from the bracket by unscrewing the center nut and bolt. 4. To clean the filter, immerse the filter into soap and water and compress it with your hands to wash.
Caution: - If the strainer is damaged or too dirty replace it. - Do not wash it with gasoline or other liquids with low combustion temperatures.
(5) Replacing the Engine Oil 1. Start the engine and let it warm-up. 2. Unscrew the oil cap with attached dipstick and then remove the drain plug to allow the oil to exit the engine. 3. Re-apply the drain plug and pour the new oil into the crankcase through the dip-stick opening. 4. Screw the oil cap with attached dipstick back on. 5. Start the engine, and let it idle for a few minutes. 6. Stop the engine. 7. Make sure the vehicle is on level ground and then check to make sure that the oil reaches the upper limit line on the dipstick. (4) Idling Adjustment 1. Start the engine and let it warm-up. 2. Adjust the idle screw on the carburetor to make the rotation speed 1400 +/- 100 r/min. Turn the screw clockwise to increase the idle speed, and counter-clockwise to decrease the idle speed. 3. Twist the throttle several times to see if the idle speed changes. If the idle speed is not steady, adjust the screw once more to a steady position. Caution: - The idle adjustment should be taken out before you adjust the free stroke of throttle valve wire. Attention: The recommended oil is SD 10W/30. You may use other oil viscosities at your discretion but DO NOT mix the two viscosities of oil together. (6) Lubricating the Rocker. - If the rocker (tilting mechanism) squeaks, refill the rocker with grease by attaching the grease gun to the Zerk fitting located at the top of the rocker and slowly refill.
(7) Cleaning the Vehicle - The vehicle should be cleaned every time it comes in contact with salt water, or heavy dust / dirt. 1. Preparation for cleaning - Wrap the exhaust pipe with a plastic bag or similar covering (make sure that the exhaust pipe is not hot before doing so). - Wrap the brake, handlebar, and the control switches on the handlebar with plastic bags. - Cover the ignition (key hole) with adhesive tape. - Block the entrance of the air-filter with plastic, cloth, or adhesive tape. 2. Do not spray the following parts directly with water. - Instruments - Front brake - Rear hub - Spark plug - Engine - Front hub - Front fork bearing - Bottom of the fuel tank 3. When finished washing - Take the plastic, cloth, and/or adhesive tape off. - Clean the entrance of the air filter. - Lubricate the axles, nuts and bolts. - Start the engine and allow it to idle for a few minutes. - Check the brakes before driving the vehicle.
Danger: - Do not lubricate the brake disc by waxing it or oiling it as this may cause you to lose control of the brakes causing an accident. - Use cleansers that do not contain oil to clean the brakes. Cleansers without oil include trichloroethylene or acetone. - Do not spray the brakes with high-pressure water when washing the vehicle. (8) Long-term Storage of the Vehicle 1. Storing of the vehicle When storing the vehicle for longer than a month, especially in winter, it is recommended that you perform the following steps to protect the longevity of your vehicle. - Clean the vehicle before storing. -Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then turn off the vehicle and empty all of the oil in the engine. Caution: Engine oil is poisonous, and must be dealt with carefully and properly disposed of.
- Refill new oil into the engine. - Empty all of the fuel from the fuel tank; unscrew the fuel drain plug at the bottom of the carburetor to drain the left over fuel in the carburetor. - Remove the empty fuel tank; add in about 250 ml of oil. Shake the tank several times for the oil to coat fuel tank evenly from the inside and then pour the left over oil out. Or you may spray the inside of the tank with anti-corrosion spray. When finished, put the cap back on.
- Take the spark plug out and spray the inside cylinder with fogging oil, through the spark plug hole. Press the startup button several times to get the oil to cover the inner surface of the cylinder wall evenly. Then screw the spark plug back in. - Inflate the tires to the rated pressure. Lay some pads under the tires in order to keep the tires from touching the ground directly. - Spray oil on unpainted metal parts to prevent them from rusting. Make sure that the brakes and the plastic accessories dont come in contact with the oil. -Wrap a thin film around the exhaust muffler in order to prevent water and fog from entering the exhaust pipe. - Cover the vehicle with cloth or a well-ventilated material and store the vehicle in a place where the temperature doesnt fluctuate often. 2. Driving the vehicle after a long storage period. - Take the cover and the thin film off the vehicle and clean the vehicle. - Check the battery voltage. If the voltage is below 10.8v charge the battery. - Check whether the spark plug is tight; tighten if loose. -Rinse the inside of the fuel tank with fuel then empty all of the fuel from the tank before refilling. -Check the vehicle according to the Pre-check of the vehicle section. -Lubricate the bearings. -Perform a test drive in a safe place to check whether the vehicle is in good working condition.
