Installation et assemblage initial

Your MotoTec Phantom pocket bike requires some assembly before its first use. A basic tool kit is typically included.

1. Déballage: Retirez soigneusement tous les composants de l'emballage. Vérifiez qu'ils n'ont pas été endommagés pendant le transport.
2. Installation du guidon : Attach the handlebars to the steering column. Ensure they are centered and tightened securely. The handlebars are angle adjustable.
3. Wheel and Fender Attachment: If not pre-assembled, attach the front wheel and fender. Ensure all fasteners are tightened to manufacturer specifications.
4. Contrôles des fluides :
   • Mélange de carburant : This is a 2-stroke engine. It requires a specific mixture of unleaded gasoline and 2-stroke oil. The manufacturer recommends a 32:1 fuel/oil ratio. Mix the fuel and oil thoroughly in a separate container before adding to the fuel tank.
   • Liquide de frein : Check brake fluid levels if applicable (for hydraulic systems) or ensure mechanical brakes are properly adjusted.
5. Pression des pneus: Gonflez les pneus à la pression recommandée, généralement indiquée sur le flanc du pneu.
6. Inspection générale: Before the first ride, double-check all nuts, bolts, and fasteners for tightness. Ensure the chain is properly tensioned and lubricated.

Mode d'emploi

Démarrage du moteur

1. Réservoir à carburant: Ensure the fuel tank contains the correct 32:1 gasoline/2-stroke oil mixture. The tank capacity is 1.25 liters.
2. Vanne de carburant : Tournez le robinet d'essence sur la position « ON ».
3. Étouffer: Locate the choke lever on the carburetor. For a cold engine, move the choke lever to the "ON" or "CLOSED" position.
4. Prime: Locate the primer bulb on the carburetor. Press the primer bulb several times until fuel is visible in the fuel lines and the bulb feels firm.
5. Démarrage manuel : With the choke on, pull the starter cord firmly and smoothly 2-3 times.
6. Choke Off: Once the engine attempts to start or fires, immediately move the choke lever to the "OFF" or "OPEN" position.
7. Final Start: Pull the starter cord again with the choke off and the throttle slightly open until the engine starts. Do not pull with the choke on after the initial attempts, as this can flood the engine.
8. Réchauffer: Allow the engine to warm up for a minute or two before riding.

Riding the Pocket Bike

• Commande d'accélérateur : The pocket bike features a variable twist-grip throttle. Twist the grip gently to accelerate.
• Freinage: The bike is equipped with front and rear disk brakes. Apply both brakes smoothly and evenly to slow down or stop. Avoid sudden, hard braking, especially with the front brake, to prevent loss of control.
• Pilotage: Use the handlebars to steer. Lean into turns for better control.
• Arrêt du moteur : To stop the engine, locate the kill switch (usually on the handlebars) and press it. Alternatively, turn the fuel valve to the "OFF" position and allow the engine to run out of fuel.

Entretien

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of your pocket bike.

• Entretien de la chaîne : Regularly inspect the drive chain for proper tension and lubrication. Adjust tension as needed and apply chain lubricant to prevent wear and rust.
• Inspection des freins : Check brake pads for wear and ensure brake levers operate smoothly. Adjust brake cables for proper stopping power.
• Pression des pneus: Maintain correct tire pressure as specified on the tire sidewall.
• Bougie d'allumage: Inspect and clean the spark plug periodically. Replace if fouled or worn.
• Filtre à air : Clean or replace the air filter regularly, especially if riding in dusty conditions.
• Fixations : Periodically check all nuts, bolts, and fasteners for tightness. Vibrations from operation can cause them to loosen.
• Système d'alimentation en carburant : If storing the bike for an extended period, drain the fuel tank and carburetor to prevent fuel degradation and clogging.
