If
oil
needs to be
added,
use quality SAE 30
weight
oil with an API rating of SF. Add a little oil
at a
time,
and check the oil level. Keep adding
oil
until the oil level is cor
rect.
Be careful not to
overfill the engine as this can cause engine dam-
age-drain out any excess oil.

THE

LEVER
TO
TH
E CONTROL
PANEL
The engine throttle cable (with lever) is
wrapped
around the engine for
shipping
pur-
poses.
Unwrap it from the engine and install it as
follows:
1. Locate two #10-32 x
1/2"
slotted head
screws, two #10-32 nuts
,
and two #10
lock-
washers
in
your hardware
bag.
Keep this
hard-
wa
re
at hand so you can attach the Engine
Throttle Lever to the control
panel.
2.
Run the engine throttle cable alongside the
right-hand
handlebar.
3.
Position
the
Engine
Throttle Lever beneath
the
control
panel. Insert the lever up through the
slot
in the
control
panel that is marked "ENGINE
THROTTLE."
4.
Insert each of the screws through a "+" mark
on the control
panel
decal. Align the holes in the
Engine
Throttle Lever
base with the screws and
be
sure
the screws go through the
base.

the base of the throttle lever up
against
the bottom of the control

Knob.
7. Move the
Engine Throttle
Lever forward and
backward to check its movement. It should move
smoothly through the full range
of
its tra
vel.
Please
note there is a detent (a catch) at
"SLOW." This prevents you from unintentionally
shutting
off the engine
when
you are just
trying
to slow the engine
down.
If it is
difficult
to move
the Engine Throttle Lever away from "STOP
",
loosen both screws and move the lever assem-
bly
slightly
to the
left.
Tighten both screws and
re-check
the Engine
Throttle
Lever's movement.
Spend a couple of
minutes adjusting
this
assem-
bly
until the lever moves
smoothly.
