Driving the Nitro 4-Tec
Introduction
Your TRX 2.5 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
driving and making
adjustments to your Nitro
4-Tec. Before you go on, here
are some important precautions to
keep in mind.
Don't run your Nitro 4-Tec through water, mud, snow, or
wet grass. 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 Nitro 4-Tec.
The TRX 2.5 is extremely powerful. Remember to apply the
throttle gradually to prevent wheelies or loss of control.
Don't hold the Nitro 4-Tec off the ground and rev the engine
excessively with no load on the engine. This practice could
result in internal engine damage.
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 Nitro 4-Tec with drive train damage of any
kind. The engine could be damaged due to overloads on the
engine caused by drivetrain friction, or over-revving caused
by loose or missing parts.
Don't tow anything with your Nitro 4-Tec. 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 Nitro 4-Tec gets stuck, stop driving immediately. Move
the vehicle and then continue driving.
