FINAL GEAR OIL

Note: Inspect monthly and change quarterly.
Note: 80/90 weight gear oil is recommended in the final drive case. However, in
extreme cold weather conditions, you may notice that the kart is hard to push. If
that is the case, use lighter viscosity oil, such as 75 weight or equivalent motor-
cycle transmission fluid.
• To check level, remove level screw on the
left rear engine case.
• To drain oil, remove the drain plug at the
rear bottom of the engine case. It is recom-
mended to warm the engine for 10 minutes
or more draining final drive oil.

ENGINE OIL

Note: Inspect before each use. Change monthly.
• Remove the drain plug from the left side bottom of the engine.
Drain into oil pan for disposal.
• Remove the large cap on the right bottom of the engine and re-
move the screen.
• Wash the screen with cleaning solvent and refit, making sure the
O-ring is still in good condition.
• Refill the engine with 10W-40 engine oil and run for 5 minutes.
• Check oil level on the filler cap stick to assure proper level.
• The cap needs to be screwed in for a proper reading.

CHASSIS

Grease chassis bushings and bearings with grease quarterly to
assure smooth operation and extended lift of the bushings and the
components. If used in extreme wet and muddy conditions or dusty
conditions, greasing is recommended more often.
