INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Clutch cleaning and maintenance
After every 5 hour of use, your clutch will need cleaning and lubrication. If
clutch becomes too dirty or has lack of lubrication, the clutch will have a
tendency to stick. This will cause the Mini-Bike to want to take off before
throttle is applied.
1. Make sure engine is turned off and engine is cool before removing clutch
cover.
3. With compressed air, blow through holes to remove any dust and/or particles.
5. Push mini bike forward without starting allowing oil to flow through bearing
surface.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Vehicle Washing
Cleaning the vehicle regularly can slow down the color fading of its body and
make it easier to check if there is any damage and any oil leakage.
! CAUTION
Washing the Mini Bike with over-pressurized water may cause damage to
some of its components. Therefore, do use a pressure washer to clean the
vehicle. The following parts should be cleaned using low pressure water:
— Wheel hub
— Exhaust pipe
— Fuel tank and lower portion of cushion
— Carburetor
— Head lock and ignition switch
— Meters
1. After pre-wiping, the vehicle should be washed with clean water to remove
dirty residues so as to prevent corrosion. Plastic subassemblies should be
cleaned by wiping with a cloth or foam soaked in neutral detergent solution,
followed by washing with clean water.
2. After the cleaned vehicle is air dried, grease the chain and run the engine at
idling speed for a few minutes.
3. Prior to driving, carefully check the braking system repeatedly and repair or
adjust it if necessary.
21
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Instructions for Storage
If the vehicle is not going to be used for a long period of time, for example, in
winter time, some steps should be taken to prevent malfunction of and damage to
its components which might be caused by long storage. Before storing the vehicle
for a long period , proper maintenance has to be performed in case maintenance is
not completed when the vehicle is put back into use after storage.
2. Drain off fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor, spray atomized anti-rust
oil onto the inside wall of the tank and then close the tank. Dispose of any
drained fuel properly so as not to adversely affect the environment.
Gasoline is flammable and may cause fire and even an explosion under
certain conditions. Therefore, do not smoke, make a fire or have any fire
around while draining off fuel.
3. Take out the spark plug, pour about 15-20ml (.5 - .68 oz.) of clean engine oil
into the cylinder, step down on the kick lever repetitively several times so as
to have machine oil distributed all over the engine and finally fit the spark
plug back on.
4. Wash the vehicle clean, wipe it dry and apply an even coat of wax to the
painted surface and a coat of anti-rust oil on the chrome-plated surfaces.
5. Inflate the tires as required and put the vehicle up on wooden blocks with the
two wheels clearing the ground.
6. Put the vehicle in a shady and cool place free from humidity and direct
sunlight and cover it properly (not with plastic or other painted materials). If
there is a garage, store it within.
22
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Resumption of Service after Storage
1. Remove the covering and remove the wooden blocks used in storing the
vehicle. Change the engine oil if the vehicle has been out of service for over 4
months.
2. Drain off the remaining atomized anti-rust oil from the fuel tank, followed by
filling it with fresh gasoline therein.
