Page 13: Operation
Nuts and Bolts Check the wheels to see that the axle nuts are tight. Use a wrench to make sure all accessible nuts, bolts, and fasteners are tight. Underbody & Exhaust System Check for and remove any dirt, vegetation, or other debris that could be a fire hazard or interfere with the proper operation of the MINI-Talon. - Page 14 Brake Pedal Throttle Pedal Fig.2 a. Throttle The right foot pedal is the throttle that controls the MINI-Talon speed. As the engine speed increases above idle, the vehicle moves forward. WARNING Each time, prior to starting the engine, check the throttle and brake to ensure that when the pedals are pushed all the way forward the assembly is working smoothly and returns when released.

Page 15: Adjustments
ADJUSTMENTS Checking For Correct Operation of the Throttle (Fig. 3-1 and 3-2) With no pressure on the throttle pedal, there should be approximately 1/16” of space between the rubber molded disc (A) and the inertia wheel. (B). When the throttle pedal is depressed, the throttle cable (C) pulls the throttle actuating arm (D) up causing the rubber molded disc (A) to make contact with the inertia wheel (B). - Page 16 Fig. 3-2 WARNING When starting your MINI-Talon the kart should never “buck” or move forward. As the rope is pulled to start the engine, the inertia wheel spins. If the kart moves or pulls forward as the rope start is pulled, the rubber-molded disc is making contact with the inertia wheel and must be correctly adjusted prior to operation.
- Page 17 Fig. 4-2 ADJUSTMENTS Adjusting the Foot Pedals This MINI-Talon has been made with foot pedals that can be moved depending on the size of your child. First remove the bolts (A) and (D) (Figure 5-1 and 5-2). Once you have done this, you are able to move the cable holder and the pedal rod with the pedals together.
- Page 18 Adjusting Front Wheel Alignment a. The front wheels should be “toe-in” from 1/8” to ¼”. To check for alignment, measure distance A and B (Fig. 6-1) between the centerline of the wheels. The proper toe-in dimension “A” should be 1/8” to 1/4” greater than dimension “B”. b.
