FUELING/REFUELING THE MINI BIKE
WARNING:
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and ex-
plosive. To prevent serious personal injury and property
damage, handle it with care. Keep away from ignition
sources and open flames, handle outdoors only, do not
smoke, and wipe up spills immediately.
WARNING:
Improper fueling of the mini bike could be hazardous.
Failing to follow safety precautions when refueling could
result in a fire or explosion or let you breathe toxic fumes,
causing serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to
a mini bike with a running or hot engine. Do not smoke
or allow flame or spark in the vicinity while the unit is be-
ing refueled. Always work in a well-ventilated area. Move
at least 30 ft. (9.1 m) from refueling site before starting
engine. Improper handling of fuel could result in serious
personal injury.
 Allow unit to cool down prior to refueling and restarting.
 Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent contamination.
 Slowly turn the fuel tank cap counterclockwise and
remove.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Always use the size and type of tires specified in this
Operator’s Manual. Always maintain proper tire pressure
as described in the Maintenance section of this manual
and on the unit. Operating this mini bike with improper
tires, or improper tire air pressure, could be hazardous.
If you use improper tires or improper air pressure, you
may lose control of the mini bike and cause an accident,
which could result in serious personal injury.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE RIDING
Before riding, you should read carefully and understand all
the following information, in addition to being thoroughly
familiar with the Rules for Safe Operation in the front of this
manual. If you are properly prepared, you will have a more
enjoyable ride.
Before riding, you should find a flat, open area with enough
space to practice the skills.
WARNING:
The risk of an accident is greatly increased if the opera-
tor does not know how to operate the mini bike properly
in different situations and on different types of terrain.
Beginning and inexperienced operators should complete
the certified training courses offered by the Motorcycle
Safety Foundation (www.msf-usa.org). They should then
regularly practice the skills learned in the course and the
operating techniques described in the Operator’s Manual.
Failure to follow safe and proper operating techniques
could result in serious personal injury.
For more information about the training course, contact an
authorized mini bike dealer or call the Motorcycle Safety
Foundation at 1-800-446-9227. For more information on
mini bike safety, contact the Baja Mini Bike Safety Hotline
at: 1-866-260-8630.
Do not operate the mini bike indoors where there is little or
no ventilation. Breathing in exhaust gasses from the mini bike
could cause severe injury or death. Always run your mini bike
outdoors where there is fresh air.
Make sure it is legal to ride in the area you selected; comply
with all laws and make sure you are not trespassing. Call the
police if you don’t know where you can ride.
Protect your riding areas. When you are riding, remember
to keep the terrain in good condition. Don’t destroy plants,
trees, or other vegetation. Don’t litter and don’t bother wildlife.
With your help, your riding area can remain open for use in
the future.
After you have found a good place to practice, review the
control system on your mini bike before riding. Learn to find
these controls without looking for them, because you will not
have time to look for them when you are riding.
NOTE: Obtain, review, and follow all laws, acts, and regula-
tions pertaining to owning and operating an off-road vehicle.
