III. RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
Before starting check:
— brakes
— tire pressures
— amount of fuel in the tank
— functioning light (while engine is running)
— correct tensioning of secondary chain.
Fuelling
The fuel used in the moped is gas mixed with oil in the recommended ratio. Use regular gas and observe the
mixing ratio when filling the fuel tank using a funnel with a strainer when filling the tank.
Fuel mixing ratio - 1:40 during the break in period 1:50 after the break in period.
Starting a Moped
Open the fuel cock (Fig6) push in the choke pin (Fig.7) as far as it will go the pin returns immediately into its
original position but the air intake remains throttled – the engine is supplied with a richer mixture.
Two methods can be used for starting the engine.
To Start Cold Engine in Summer
a) Pull up the moped on its stand, push in the choke pin, rotate the twist grip through one-half of its rotation
range, set the pedal forward at an angle of about 30 degrees from the vertical, depress the pedal energetically
and engine should start. If the engine does not fire, repeat this procedure.
After the engine has started running let it warm up and then rotate the twist grip as far as it will go to open
the choke. Then back off the twist grip so that the engine runs at idling speed and is ready to go. Jerk it from
the stand on to the wheels and move off by accelerating (opening the throttle).
DO NOT SIT ON THE MACHINE DURING THIS STARTING PROCEDURE.
b) Starting by pedalling: With the vehicle standing on wheels push in the choke, and rotate the twist grip as
described in paragraph a). Use the pedals to start the engine. As soon as the engine fires accelerate by
opening the throttle.
Starting the Engine in the Cold Season
When the temperature drops below 0°C, it is necessary to modify the starting procedure as follows:-
Proceed with the actual starting as in point a) with the only difference that the twist grip must be turned three
quarters of its total rotation range to prevent the opening of the air intake flap. Prolong the engine warm-up
period in proportion to the falling temperature.
NOTE: For safety reasons, the starting method as per point b) is not recommended on ice and snow
covered roads.
NOTE: IF NECESSARY, YOU CAN ASSIST THE ENGINE BY PEDALLING, ESPECIALLY WHEN
CLIMBING A LONG OR STEEP GRADIENT.
