5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Fueling

The X-PRO Hawk Mini Dirt Bike is equipped with a 4-stroke engine. This means it uses straight gasoline and does not require mixing oil with the fuel. Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. The fuel tank capacity is approximately 0.47 gallons.

• Ensure the engine is off and cool before refueling.
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from open flames or sparks.
• Do not overfill the tank.

5.2. Starting the Engine (Pull Start)

1. Ensure the fuel valve is open.
2. Set the choke lever to the 'ON' or 'START' position if the engine is cold.
3. Pull the starter cord firmly and smoothly until the engine starts. Do not pull the cord to its full extension or let it snap back.
4. Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the 'OFF' or 'RUN' position as the engine warms up.

5.3. Riding

• Throttle Control: The bike features an adjustable throttle grip. Gently twist the throttle to accelerate. Avoid sudden, aggressive throttle inputs, especially for new riders.
• Braking: Use both the front and rear disc brakes smoothly and simultaneously to slow down or stop. Avoid locking the wheels, which can lead to loss of control.
• Emergency Kill Switch: In case of an emergency or loss of control, press the emergency kill switch to immediately shut off the engine.
• Terrain: The X-PRO Hawk is designed for various off-road terrains, including gravel roads, grassy fields, dirt trails, and forest paths. Always ride within your skill level and the bike's capabilities.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your X-PRO Hawk Mini Dirt Bike.

7.1. Engine Will Not Start or Stay Running

• Check Fuel: Ensure there is fresh gasoline in the tank and the fuel valve is open.
