Hand s should not be placed where they might be
pinched between the kickstand and the frame when
the kickstand is in the down position.
2. Check track tension by measuring the distance
between the bottom of the running board and the bot-
tom edge of the support arm. Measurement should be
31 /2" maximum and 31 /4" minimum. Figure 16 shows
points of measurement.
3. If adjustment is needed, loosen two bolts (No.1,
Figure 16) on each side that secure the adjuster plate
(No .2 , Figure 16). Turn adjusting bolt (No.3, Figure
16) clockwise to tighten and counter - clockwise to lo osen
until proper 31 /4" to 31f2" measurement is achieved on
each side. Adjyst both sides equally. Track should
have a slack of about 2" to 21 /4" in the center b elow
boggie wheels.
4. Before r etighten ing bol ts (No.1, Figure 16)
check
the track alignment as outlined below.

FUEL MIXTURE INSTRUCTIONS
The correct oil-gasoline ratio is 20:1 or one quart oil
to five gallons of gasoline. Too much oil wi" cause
carbon deposits. Too little oil wi" cause insufficient
lubrication.
WARNING: Gasoline and oil should be mixed at
temperatu res above freezing. Below freezing, gas and
oil mix with difficulty. Mix with care or damage to
engine could result.
Use only a good grade of SAE 30 or 40 non-deter-
gent automotive engine or outboard motor oil. Do not
use light duty oils or multiviscosity oils.
Use a good grade of regular gasoline. Use fresh
gasoline only. Do not use gasoline left over from sum-
mer uses.
Mix the gasoline and oil thoroughly in a separate
clean container kept for this purpose only . Best way
to insure good mix is to add oil to an empty or about
half-fu" container and then fill with gasoline . Mix
thoroughly.
Fi" gasoline tank on Ski-DaddJer from this separate
container of mixed fuel. Use a funnel with a fine screen
strainer when filling tank. Fi" tank slowly to avoid air
pockets.
OIL AND ADDITIVES
We do not recommend the use of additives for the
fuels to be used in the engines of the Ski-Daddlers.
Some outboard motor oils contain a detergent that
works we" in an outboard. However, an outboard
operates at a much lower tempe r ature because it is
water cooled and the detergent may cause spark plug
fouling in the air cooled engines used on the Ski-
Daddlers.
Use an oil for air cooled 2 cycle engines such as AMF
oil or a good non-detergent 30 or 40 motor oil.
If you experience a problem with moisture in the
fuel system a sma" amount of Dri- Gas or equivalent
may be used.
