DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS »
Driving
The engine speed, and thus the driving speed, are regulated by
the throttle grip.
The choke must always be deactivated as soon as the engine has
warmed up.
– AFTER FALLING WITH THE MOTORCYCLE, CHECK ALL ITS FUNC-
TIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING IT AGAIN.
– A BENT HANDLEBAR MUST ALWAYS BE REPLACED. NEVER TRY
TO STRAIGHTEN THE HANDLEBAR BECAUSE THIS WILL CAUSE IT
TO LOSE ITS STABILITY.
– DRIVING A COLD ENGINE AT HIGH SPEED WILL REDUCE THE LIFE
OF THE ENGINE. WE RECOMMEND TO WARM THE ENGINE UP AT
A MEDIUM ENGINE SPEED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE
SWITCHING TO FULL LOAD.
– NEVER TILT THE MOTORCYCLE OVER THE SIDE STAND TO WARM
UP THE ENGINE. THE SIDE STAND COULD FOLD AWAY AND THE
MOTORCYCLE RUN OUT OF CONTROL.
– IN THE EVENT THAT, WHILE YOUR CHILD IS RIDING ON THE
MOTORCYCLE, YOU NOTICE ANY UNUSUAL OPERATION-RELATED
NOISE, YOUR CHILD SHOULD STOP IMMEDIATELY, TURN THE
ENGINE OFF, AND CONTACT AN AUTHORIZED KTM DEALER.
Braking
Close the throttle and squeeze both brake levers simultaneously.
On sandy, wet or slippery terrain the rear wheel brake should be
preferred. The brakes should always be operated carefully as
locking wheels can cause skidding or falls.
– BRAKE DRUM AND LININGS HEAT UP DURING BRAKE OPERATION,
THUS REDUCING THE EFFECT OF THE BRAKES.
– WET BRAKES HAVE REDUCED BRAKE PERFORMANCE, THERE-
FORE BE SURE TO BRAKE THEM DRY AFTER CLEANING.
– IF THE RESISTANCE OF THE HAND BRAKE LEVER FEELS UNRE-
SPONSIVE, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. HAVE
THE BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKED AT A KTM WORKSHOP BEFORE YOU
LET YOUR CHILD DRIVE THE MOTORCYCLE.
Stopping
Reduce the speed. Immediately before the motorcycle comes to
a stop, put the left foot down. To turn off the engine, press the
short circuit button until the engine stops. Close the fuel tap.
MOTORCYCLES PRODUCE GREAT HEAT DURING OPERATION.
THEREFORE, KEEP IN MIND THAT THE ENGINE, THE EXHAUST
SYSTEM AND THE BRAKES CAN HEAT UP CONSIDERABLY. MAKE SURE
THAT THESE PARTS ARE NOT TOUCHED AND ALWAYS TAKE CARE, WHEN
PARKING THE MOTORCYCLE, THAT OTHER PERSONS WILL NOT BURN
THEMSELVES.
– CLOSE THE FUEL TAP WHEN LEAVING THE MOTORCYCLE.
OTHERWISE THE CARBURETOR MAY GET FLOODED AND FUEL
WILL ENTER THE ENGINE.
– THE SIDE STAND OR PLUG-IN STAND IS DESIGNED TO HOLD THE
WEIGHT OF THE MOTORCYCLE ONLY. BY SITTING ON THE MOTOR-
CYCLE, YOUR CHILD WILL PUT ADDITIONAL WEIGHT ON THE SIDE
STAND, POSSIBLY CAUSING THE SIDE STAND OR FRAME TO BE
DAMAGED OR THE MOTORCYCLE TO FALL DOWN.
Refueling, fuel
Oil (high-grade two-stroke engine oil) must be mixed with the fuel
(ROZ 95) at a mixing ratio of 1:60.
Fuel and engine oil should only be mixed immediately before
use.KTM recommends Motorex 2T Cross Power.
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND POISONOUS. EXTREME CAU-
TION SHOULD BE USED WHEN HANDLING GASOLINE. NEVER REFUEL
THE MOTORCYCLE NEAR OPEN FLAMES OR BURNING
CIGARETTES. ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE BEFORE REFUELING.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO SPILL GASOLINE ON THE ENGINE OR EXHAUST
PIPE WHILE THE ENGINE IS HOT. WIPE UP SPILLS PROMPTLY. IF
GASOLINE IS SWALLOWED OR SPLASHED IN THE EYES, SEEK A DOC-
TOR’S ADVICE IMMEDIATELY.
– ONLY USE PREMIUM-GRADE GASOLINE ROZ 95 MIXED WITH HIGH-
GRADE TWO-STROKE ENGINE OIL. OTHER TYPES OF GASOLINE CAN
CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE.
– ONLY USE KNOWN BRANDS OF HIGH-GRADE 2-STROKE ENGINE
OIL (MOTOREX 2T CROSS POWER).
– NOT ENOUGH OIL OR LOW-GRADE OIL CAN CAUSE EROSION OF
THE PISTON. WHEN USING TOO MUCH OIL, THE ENGINE MAY START
SMOKING AND FOUL THE SPARK PLUG.
– FUEL EXPANDS WHEN ITS TEMPERATURE RISES. THEREFORE DO
NOT FILL THE TANK TO THE TOP. (SEE FIG.)
