TECHNICAL SUPPORT - MAINTENANCE
For 49cc Scooters
Please refer to Owners Manual
- Once your scooter is properly assembled, please check
and double check the following:
- Battery installed (red to pos and black to neg) with
fluid filled to correct levels (between the fill lines).
- Oil reservoir filled with 2-cycle oil (see manual for
correct amount). You want to run the scooter very rich on
the oil for the first 500 miles. This will ensure the motor
is properly lubricated, but the exhaust will be very white
and heavy. This is normal.
- Gas tank filled with premium unleaded (92 octane or above).
First three tanks of gas must also have two-cycle oil mixed
in with gas at 40:1 ratio for proper lubrication and break-in.
This is in addition to the oil in the oil reservoir.
- Ensure transmission has proper level of lubrication oil
(see amount stamped on transmission near fill hole. USE
ONLY 10W-40 GOOD QUALITY MOTOR OIL.
Starting Procedure:
- Place scooter on flat level surface and up on center
kick stand.
- Turn key to on position all the way to the right.
- Turn kill switch to on position. (Kill switch is located
on the right handle grip and slides right to left or up
and down to turn on. On some models it is the headlight
switch and must be in the on position. Lights will not turn
on until scooter is running.)
- Pull the choke out and to the left (located under the
left handle grip).
- Do not give any gas with throttle; use choke only.
- Squeeze left brake firmly to engage starter. This is
a safety feature to avoid unintentional starting of the
scooter.
- The first time you start your scooter use the kick-start
to avoid draining the battery as it will take several minutes
(8-15 kicks) to get gas from the tank to the carburetor
the first time. Kick start while holding in choke and brake
until scooter starts.
- Keep choke in for one to three minutes to warm up. Drive
Safely and wear a helmet!!
Do not operate scooter at max speed for first few hundred
miles as stated in manual. Engine can seize if not properly
broken in.
In addition to the normal prep procedures, these above steps
will help your scooter live a longer healthier life.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR BUSINESS.
