4. Safety Instructions

Adherence to the following safety guidelines is critical to prevent injury and damage to the product.

• Always wear appropriate safety gear, including a helmet, eye protection, and gloves, when operating or working on the engine.
• Ensure the engine is installed securely on a bicycle frame designed to accommodate it.
• Operate the motorized bicycle only in well-ventilated areas. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which is dangerous.
• Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from moving parts, especially the belt, chain, and engine fan.
• Do not refuel the engine while it is running or hot. Allow it to cool down to prevent fire hazards.
• Store fuel in approved containers in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources.
• Regularly inspect all components for wear, damage, or loose connections. Address any issues before operation.
• Do not modify the engine or its components. Unauthorized modifications can lead to malfunction and void any warranty.
• Be aware of local laws and regulations regarding motorized bicycles.

5. Installation Guide

This section outlines the general steps for installing the engine kit. Due to the complexity and safety implications, professional installation is highly recommended.

5.1 Preparation

• Ensure your bicycle has sufficient triangular frame space to accommodate the engine and fuel tank.
• Gather all tools required for assembly (not included).
• Review all components against the package contents list to ensure everything is present.

5.2 Engine Mounting

1. Position the engine within the bicycle frame's triangular space.
2. Secure the engine to the frame using the provided base bracket and fixed iron pieces. Ensure the engine is level and stable.

5.3 Fuel System Installation

1. Mount the fuel tank securely to the bicycle frame, typically on the top tube.
2. Connect the fuel line from the fuel tank to the fuel filter, and then from the fuel filter to the fuel valve, and finally to the carburetor. Ensure all connections are tight and free of leaks.
3. Install the fuel tank cap.

5.4 Exhaust System Installation

1. Attach the exhaust cushion to the engine's exhaust port.
2. Secure the exhaust pipe to the engine, ensuring a tight seal. Route the exhaust pipe away from moving parts and the rider.

5.5 Drive System (Belt and Chain) Installation

1. Install the belt onto the engine's drive pulley and the rear wheel's driven pulley. Use the belt tension adjusting tool to achieve proper tension.
2. Mount the 44-tooth chain sprocket to the rear wheel.
3. Install the chain tensioner to maintain proper chain tension.
4. Connect the chain between the engine's output sprocket and the rear wheel's sprocket.
5. Install the guard over the moving parts of the drive system for safety.

5.6 Controls Installation

1. Install the throttle grip and cable onto the handlebars and connect it to the carburetor's throttle linkage.
2. Ensure the throttle operates smoothly and returns to the idle position when released.

3. Ensure the throttle is in the idle position.
4. Pull the recoil starter handle firmly and smoothly until the engine starts. Do not let the rope snap back.
5. Once the engine starts, gradually release the choke as the engine warms up.

6.3 Stopping the Engine

1. Reduce the throttle to the idle position.
2. Close the fuel valve.
3. Engage the engine kill switch (if equipped) or allow the engine to run out of fuel.
