OPERATION INSTRUCTION

This manual describes matters pertaining to correct operation, safe operation and simple maintenance of the vehicle you purchased. To ensure more comfortable and safer operation, make sure to read this manual carefully prior to operation.

●The photographs and drawings shown in this manual may

differ from those of actual vehicles due to changes in vehicle specifications and modifications made.

●This vehicle is designed for 2 riders including the operator.

CAUTION

●Do not use polluted gasoline.

Using polluted gasoline will cause rust inside the fuel tank, and will close the supply of fuel to the carburetor, leading to an improper engine starting or may cause serious damage to an engine.

●Do not use polluted or low-grade oil.

Always use genuine oil to protect and extend vehicle performance and its life span.

●If any failure occurs due to the use of polluted gasoline

or oil, such failure will be excluded from being eligible for repairs under the warranty.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

●Careful driving and the wearing of proper attire and safety

equipment are the most important factors in the safe operation of the daystar. Please obey traffic regulations and do not be hurried and careless.

●Many new vehicle owners operate their newly purchased

vehicles with great care and attention to safety factors. However, after becoming accustomed to the operations are often discarded, which can lead to accidents. Please don't let this happen to you and always approach the operation of your vehicle with the safety considerations needed. When operating the vehicle, always keep in mind and obey the notes of precaution printed on the “Safety Precaution Label”attached to the vehicle.

●Always wear helmet.

hot.

PRIOR TO STARTING VEHICLE

●Read user's manual carefully.

●Conduct maintenance checks prior to operation.

●Always maintain vehicle in clean status and carry out

specified maintenance checks.

●Make sure to stop engine and stay away from fire when

fueling.

●Exhaust gas contains harmful substance such as carbon

monoxide, Start engine in well-ventilated places.

CORRECT ATTIRE

●Always make sure to wear helmet for safety. Wear gloves

and safety goggles.

●Do not wear uniforms which might hinder operation. It is

dangerous if the uniform is caught by brake lever, clutch lever or by the rotating part of drive chain.

●Do not wear slippers which might obstruct brake operation or

transmission gear operation.

●Many automobile / motorcycle accidents happen because the

automobile driver does not “see” the motorcyclist. Make yourself conspicuous to help avoid the accident that wasn’t your fault :

- Wear bright or reflective clothing.

- Don’t ride in another motorist’s “blind spot”.

A helmet should always be worn and the helmet chin strap should be securely fastened.

Shoes should fit properly, and shoes having little or no heel should be worn.

Correct shirts or jackets with tight-fitting sleeves should be worn,

OPERATION CARGO

●Operators should naturally fix bodies to keep smooth driving.

●Please check whether or not you are unnaturally strained and

strung up.

●Driving pose has a great influence on safe operation.

Please always maintain the center of your body in the middle of seat. Especially do not sit at the rear seat because it may lessen the weight of front wheel and cause trembling steering wheel.

●A passenger should hold on to the motorcycle or the operator

with both hands and keep both feet on the pillion step bar.

●When wanting to turn, slightly lean to body toward the

direction of the turn. It is unsafe if the body is not moved in union with the motorcycle.

●Curvy roads and poor, unpaved roads constantly change in

surface quality. Driving on these roads can be unsafe if certain safety precautions are not followed.

●In order to safely drive through these driving conditions,

anticipate coming road conditions, slow down to at least half the normal speed, and relax your shoulders and wrists while securely holding the handles.

●Driving with one or both hands not holding the handles or

the front wheel lifted can cause severe injury or death of the driver resulted from the turnover of the vehicle.

●When carrying cargo, you must keep in mind that operating

the vehicle, especially when turning, will be different.

●Make sure not to overload the vehicle with goods as this can

make the vehicle unstable during operation.

CAUTION

●Only load cargo in or on designated areas as placing or

fastening cargo to other areas can cause damage to the motorcycle.

●Do not place articles between the frame body cover and

engine as this can burn the goods.

●Do not attach large or heavy items (such as a sleeping

bag or tent) to the handle bars or fork. Unstable handling or slow steering response may result.

MODIFICATION

MUFFLER

●Modification of vehicle structure or function deteriorates

manipulatability or causes exhaust noise to become louder shortening the vehicle life. These modifications are not only prohibited by law but also are the acts harmful to other people. Modifications are not covered by warranty.

ATTACHMENT

●Except designated attachment by DAELIM MOTOR CO.,

LTD., don’t attach any extra lighting device, because it may cause an early discharging of battery.

●Carefully inspect the accessory to make sure it does not

obscure any lights, reduce ground clearance and banking angle, or limit suspension travel, steering travel or control operation.

●Do not add electrical equipment that will exceed the

motorcycle’s electrical system capacity. A blown fuse could cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.

●This motorcycle was not designed to pull a sidecar or trailer.

Handling may be seriously impaired if so equipped.

●Pay particular attention to fellow passenger so that he/she

can prevent getting burnt by the hot muffler during travel.

CAUTION

●Do not park in the place where many pedestrians are

passing through. Pedestrians or children can be burned by contacting with the muffler.
