Danger of poisoning
Fuel is poisonous and a health hazard.
Avoid skin, eye and clothing contact with fuel.
Immediately consult a doctor if you swallow fuel.
Do not inhale fuel vapors.
In case of skin contact, rinse the affected area with plenty of water.
Rinse the eyes thoroughly with water, and consult a doctor in case of fuel
contact with the eyes.
Change your clothing in case of fuel spills on them.
Keep fuels correctly in a suitable canister, and out of the reach of children.
Before storing the motorcycle, check all parts for function and wear. If service, repairs, or replacements
are necessary, you should do this during the storage period (less workshop overload). In this way, you
can avoid long workshop waiting times at the start of the new season.
When refueling for the last time before taking the motorcycle out of service, add fuel additive.

Guideline
Storage temperature of battery without direct sunshine 0… 35 °C (32… 95 °F)
• Store the vehicle in a dry location that is not subject to large fluctuations in temperature.
Apollo recommends jacking up the motorcycle.
• Raise the motorcycle with a lift stand.
• Cover the vehicle with a tarp or similar cover that is permeable to air.
Avoid running the engine for a short time only. Since the engine cannot warm up properly, the water va-
por produced during combustion condenses and causes valves and the exhaust system to rust.
If you plan to garage the motorcycle for a longer period, perform the following steps or have
them performed.
Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humidity from escaping, thus causing
corrosion.
