FOLDING FEATURE
BEFORE YOU RIDE
- Be certain the sliding handle lock tube is in its full down position,
locking the handlebar upright. The handle latch hooks to the motor casing to hold the
handle in the folded position for carrying or for storage.
CONTROLS
BEFORE YOU RIDE
- Familiarize yourself with how your Go-Ped® works.
•
The red button operates the engine shut off.
•
The left-hand lever operates the front-wheel disc brake.
•
The right plastic lever operates throttle control.
•
The right aluminum lever operates rear-wheel disc brake.
•
The kick-stand is used to stand your Go-Ped® in an upright and stopped position.
•
The handle bar supports the rider and steers the Go-Ped® just like a bicycle. Always
use both hands on the handle bar when riding.
Note: For proper engine operation and maximum reliability, pay strict attention to the
oil and fuel-mixing instructions. Use Gasoline as indicated in the specifications. Use
a high quality 50:1 fuel/oil ratio (2-cycle). Improperly mixed fuel can severely
damage the engine.
Use the following procedure to ensure proper mixing:
•
Put a small amount of fresh gasoline (87 Octane or greater) into a clean (1) U.S.
gallon (3.875-liter) fuel can.
•
Add 2.65 ounces of high quality 2-cycle oil.
•
Fill the remainder of the fuel can with gasoline (1 gallon).
•
Screw the cap of the fuel can on tight, and SHAKE THE CAN VIGOROUSLY FOR 30
SECONDS.
* For convienent oil/fuel mixing, add two tank size Go-Mix II Packets to each fill up of
your GSR40 Gas Tank
OIL & FUEL INFORMATION
BE SURE TO READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
START OR OPERATE THIS UNIT. Using old or improper oil or fuel, or improperly
mixing the oil and fuel can cause engine damage. This type of damage will void
engine warranty.
FUELING & PRE-OPERATIONAL
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and its vapors can explode if ignited. Always stop the
engine and allow to cool before filling fuel tank. Do not smoke while filling fuel tank.
Keep sparks and open flames away from the area.
•
Add fuel in a clean, well-ventilated area. Avoid spilling the fuel when mixing the oil.
Wipe up spilled fuel immediately. If fuel has been spilled, allow to dry completely
before starting the engine.
•
Move the unit at least 10 feet (3m) from the fueling point before starting the engine.
Pressure can build up in the fuel tank. Loosen the cap on the fuel tank slowly to relieve
any pressure in the tank.
•
Store gasoline and fuel only in containers designed and approved for the storage of
such materials.
BEFORE YOU RIDE
– GSR40 Go-Ped® should be warmed up.
Note:
Your GSR40 is
equipped
with a
centrifugal
clutch. Giving it too much gas during
warm up will cause it to propel forward.
Make sure the rear tire is off the ground to prevent this from occuring
1.
Pump primer bulb until fuel flows steadily through clear, overflow tube.
2.
Move choke lever to the closed position. (Upward: Closed Choke)
3.
Set throttle to start position (half).
4.
Pull starter, until engine starts.
5. Move choke lever to the open position as soon at the engine starts.
5.
Allow engine to warm up before using.
After warming up the engine (30 seconds – 1 minute), place hands on the hand grips
(no throttle). Place one foot on Go-Ped Standing Platform. With the other foot, briskly
push the Go-Ped® forward.
6.
To stop: use the Red Button to kill the engine
STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
Proper chain care and maintenance is essential to longevity and wear of the drive
components on your GSR40.
•
Make sure that the sprockets are perfectly aligned to each other. You can check this
visually by lining up the rear sprocket with the front and seeing that the chain is
straight.
•
The four screws that hold the motor in place can be loosened to allow you to realign
the sprockets if necessary.
•
The chain tensioner is a critical element in chain maintenance. As your ride your
GSR40 the chain will stretch over time and without the tensioner you can throw a chain
and cause permanent damage to the drive components and or cause a loss in control
of your GSR40. As the chain wears, you will need to loosen the quick release lever so
you can gently pull up on the tensioner and take up any chain slack (pulling up more
than necessary will cause your drive components to wear prematurely and add
performance reducing drive system friction).
•
The chain should be lubricated before each ride and your GSR40 chain tensioner
has a built-in pocket designed to hold one opened, small tank-size Go-Mix II packet
that will direct a light drip effect directly on the chain for your convenience and to
minimize the chance to prematurely wear out your chain. Go-Mix II packets are
available from your local dealer.
•
Your chain should be clean. A safe cleaning solvent can be used but the chain must
be oiled once it is dry.
•
To reduce dirt and grime build-up and overspray on rear brake components, never
over lubricate the chain.
•
Sprockets should be periodically checked for damage and wear. If you notice that
there is any damage to the sprockets or a tooth missing it should be replaced
immediately.
Chain Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT Never lubricate your chain while engine is running
