Mini BAJA MOTORSPORTS - Manual (Page 5)

WARNING - Perform this pre-ride inspection before operating the vehicle. If not performed, serious
damage to the vehicle or personal injury may result.
1. ENGINE OIL LEVEL - Add oil if required. Check for leaks.
Tighten filler cap securely.
2. FUEL LEVEL - Add fuel as necessary. Do not overfill (no fuel
in the filler neck). Replace cap tightly. Check for leaks. Do
not mix oil with gas.
WARNING - Do not refill engine while it is hot. It is
possible for spilled fuel to ignite resulting in a fire. Do
not fill gas tank in a closed area such as a garage. After filling
the tank move the vehicle at least 15 feet away from spot of
filling before starting.
3. BRAKES - PERFORM A BRAKE TEST :
NOTE: Always check for broken or frayed cables before
operating this vehicle.
TEST 1
Step 1: With the engine OFF, have the operator sit on
the vehicle.
Step 2: If supervising adult is capable, push the
vehicle slowly.
Step 3: Have the operator apply the hand brake to feel
how much pressure is needed for a smooth
stop.
TEST 2
Operate the bike in an open area away from any obstacles.
The Brake should not drag. However, it should stop the bike
when applied fully with throttle returned.
4. TIRES - Check condition and pressure.
5. DRIVE CHAIN – Check chain condition and tension.
6. THROTTLE - CHECK FOR SMOOTH OPERATION. Assure
throttle "snaps" back to idle. Also, check for frayed cable or
damaged cable conduit. If either condition exists replace the
cable assembly before riding.
7. STOP SWITCH - PERFORM THIS STOP SWITCH TEST:
While the engine is running, push the engine stop button.
The engine should stop. If the engine does not stop, check to
ensure that the stop switch wire is attached to the terminal on
the engine and the wiring harness is plugged into the back of
the remote key stop switch. DO NOT OPERATE THIS
VEHICLE WITH A STOP SWITCH THAT IS NOT
FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
8. ALL NUTS, BOLTS, AND FASTENERS - Check wheels to see
that all axle nuts and lug nuts are tightened on axles and
steering bolts. Check and tighten all other fasteners as
necessary.
9. GUARDS - Ensure all protective guards are in place. NEVER
REMOVE ANY CHAIN GUARD, CLUTCH GUARD, OR
TORQUE CONVERTER GUARD. Each of these covers have
a protective purpose, if removed it could endanger the
personal safety of the operator.
10. STEERING SYSTEM - Ensure that the steering system turns
freely and that the throttle and brake cables move freely with
the steering system.
CORRECT any discrepancies according to the Owner's manual before riding. If a problem cannot be
corrected, contact Baja Motorsports at 888-863-2252 for assistance.
STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Do not attempt to start or operate this machine without being completely familiar with all controls
necessary to operate this vehicle safely. Do not start the engine before reading and understanding
all the rules, warnings, instructions, and operational safety tips in this manual.
1. Before starting the engine, the operator should be seated on the vehicle. If the operator is not seated on the vehicle, it should be placed
against a STATIONARY object and started.
2. DO NOT START THE ENGINE BEFORE CHECKING TO MAKE SURE THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY IS IN THE IDLE POSITION.
WARNING - Each time prior to starting the engine, check the throttle assembly to ensure that when the throttle grip (right side) is turned all
the way toward the operator, the assembly is working smoothly and returns to idle when released. Do not operate if grip and engine throttle
linkage fail to return to idle.
3. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for proper use of the engine choke in the starting process.
4. Pull recoil starter rope sharply. See engine manual. Do not flood the engine by continuously pulling the starter rope. If engine does not
start after two or three pulls of the starter rope, choke the engine as described in the engine owner’s manual. If engine does not start wait a
few minutes then repeat the cycle above.
OPERATIONAL SAFETY TIPS
GETTING USED TO THE VEHICLE IN MOTION
Be sure the operator is wearing all of the proper protective gear as
described in section 13 of THE IMPORTANT RULES FOR
OPERATION included in this manual. With the engine OFF, have
the operator mount the vehicle. If supervising adult is capable,
push the vehicle slowly. Have the operator apply the hand brake
to feel how much pressure is needed for a smooth stop. Practice
this several times until the supervising adult is sure this skill is
