The Air Hogs

 Motocross Bike performs best on 

FLAT SMOOTH SURFACES, free of bumps and other 

obstructions. Do not play on harsh or rocky surfaces. 

Do not play on or near roadways. Always consult 

your guardian before playing to ensure the area in 

which you would like to play is clear and safe!

B. PRESSURING THE ENGINE:

1. 

BEFORE PUMPING, ROTATE THE REAR TIRE UNTIL

    THE PISTON IS SET AT THE FRONT OF THE PISTON

    WINDOW (see CORRECT drawing).

    IF THE PISTON IS AT THE BACK OF THE PISTON

    WINDOW, THE AIR WILL LEAK OUT OF THE BIKE

    DURING PUMPING! (see INCORRECT drawing).

2. Attach the bike to the pump, as shown (a).

    grasp the pump handle with both hands (b).

5. Pump air into the bike.

IMPORTANT:

 It will take 25 pumps to pressurize your bike. Pull the pump 

handle ALL THE WAY up and push it ALL THE WAY down to complete 

each of the 25 pumps. Incorrect pumping will result in lower than expected 

performance. FOR SAFE USE, DO NOT EXCEED 25 PUMPS.

TIP:

 If you are having trouble making the bike go straight without 

falling over, try using the wheelie bar. The wheelie bar helps to 

balance the bike. This is similar to training wheels on a bicycle. 

Note: With practice, your runs will become straighter and longer 

and you will no longer need the assistance of the wheelie bar.

3. Place the bike on a

    smooth flat surface.
4. Raise the front end of

    the bike into the air so

    that only the rear

    wheel and the wheelie

    bar are resting on the

    ground (e).

5.Give your bike a firm 

    push in the direction

    you want to go,

    remembering to guide 

the bike with your

    hand for1-2 feet before

    releasing,as explained

    above (f).
