Cold Starting; Run-In - Bad Boy AMBUSH Owner's Manual

OPERATION
Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.

Cold Starting

Starting a cold engine may require use of the choke. Depress the accelerator approximately 1" (2.5 cm) or until the
starter just begins to operate. Pull the choke out if required. Accelerate slowly and push the choke in completely when
the engine runs smoothly.
To operate this vehicle above 5000 ft. a High Altitude Kit will need to be installed in the carburetor.
Do not allow the starter to operate continuously for more than 10 seconds. Allow 30 seconds between starting
attempts. If the vehicle does not start on the third attempt, turn the key switch off and determine the cause of the prob-
lem.

If the vehicle had been running and the engine does not start within 10 seconds, use the choke.
Starting The Vehicle On A Hill
To reduce the possibility of roll-back which could result in severe injury or vehicle damage, do not
release service brake until engine has started.
Do not hold vehicle on hill by using accelerator and motor/engine. This will cause premature and excessive wear to
drive train components.
To reduce the possibility of permanent damage to the drive system, it is important to prevent excessive roll-back when
starting the vehicle on a hill.
Place left foot on service brake and release the park brake. Depress accelerator with right foot and release the service
brake by lifting left foot.

RUN-IN

Check for oil or fuel leaks that could have developed in shipment
from the factory. Avoid full throttle starts and rapid acceleration until
the engine has achieved operating temperature.
All engines consume more oil than normal during the first hours of
operation. As internal moving parts are run-in, oil consumption
should gradually decrease until the rate of consumption stabilizes.
Check the oil level per the Periodic Service Schedule. Add oil if the
level on the dipstick indicates that oil is in the add oil range.
Do not overfill engine. Too much oil may cause smoking or allow oil
to enter the air filter enclosure.
The oil dipstick/fill cap must be in place before operating the engine. Failure to install the dipstick/fill cap will result in oil becoming
contaminated and/or being discharged into the engine compartment.
