The purpose of this Quick Start Guide is to provide technical information and drawings as well as
to help the user better understand their race machine.

IMPORTANT

Complete a general check of the kart and engine before doing the fi nal engine checks.

FIRST START OF THE DAY

Follow the steps outlined below for the fi rst start of the day and to prime the engine. The follow­ing method minimises load on the starter motor and battery and will consume 75% less electrical
power to do so (12 Amps compared to the fully loaded 50 Amps).

1. RADIATOR FLUID LEVEL CHECK

Use NON ethylene glycol based radiator corrosion inhibitor as most race tracks have
banned glycol based additives. We recommend MOTUL’s Mocool .

The level should be approximately 1 cm below the top of the cap. If the fl uid level is higher
the excess will simply be expelled into the overfl ow bottle once the engine reaches oper­ating temperature. Constantly overfi lling the radiator is a waste of time as the fl uid will be
expelled. If the cooling system is completely empty you will need to fi ll the system. It takes
approximately 1.5 litres of coolant. When adding coolant to a completely empty system,
air locks will occur not allowing the system to be completely fi lled. Loosening the hose at
the top of the engine will allow the air to escape. After the engine has run for more than 20
seconds, the coolant level can be checked again for any further settling.

NOTE: Do not tap the radiator as the SQ CHEETAH® has a built in thermostat and auto­matically adjusts water fl ow / temperature of the engine in all conditions.

2. CARBURETOR JETS MIXTURE

Set/check the carburetor jet mixture screws

Low jet (closest to the engine) should be 1 ½ turns from completely closed

High jet (T or L shaped screw) should be 1 ½ to 1 ¾ turns from completely closed
