Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure the engine is completely cooled and the spark plug wire is disconnected for safety. Remove the old, damaged bracket by unscrewing the primary mounting bolts, and be sure to retain the existing spacers and spring tensioners. Align the PetrolScooter bracket with the corresponding engine mounting points and tighten the fasteners in a cross-pattern to ensure an even seat. Once installed, manually operate the throttle lever to ensure there is no binding against the engine shroud. For ongoing care, periodically inspect the mounting bolts for looseness caused by engine vibration and apply a light coating of machine oil to the pivot point to prevent surface corrosion.
