SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Make sure the engine is off before you begin
any maintenance or repairs.This will help
eliminate several potential hazards:
Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine
exhaust.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever
you operate the engine.
Burns from hot parts.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before
touching.
Injury from moving parts.
Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.
Read the instructions before you begin, and
make sure you have the tools and skills required.
To help prevent the motorcycle from falling
over,park it on a firm,level surface, using the side
stand
or a maintenance stand to provide
support.
To reduce the possibility of a fire or
explosion, be careful when working around
petrol.Use only nonflammable solvent, not
petrol, to clean parts.Keep cigarettes,sparks and
flames away from all fuel-related parts.
Remember that your SKYTEAM dealer knows
your motorcycle best and is fully equipped to
maintain and repair it.
To ensure the best quality and reliability use only
new genuine SKYTEAM parts or their
equivalents for repair and replacement.
