following procedures for raising and
refitting the fuel tank safely.
Raising the Fuel Tank
Warning
Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised
and adequately supported.
A correctly supported motorcycle will
help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall,
causing injury to the operator or
damage to the motorcycle.
Warning
Never drain fuel from the fuel tank
using non-approved, non-professional
standard fuel handling equipment.
A fire causing destruction of property
and injury to persons may result from
use of non-approved fuel handling
equipment.
Always use approved, professional fuel
handling equipment.
Warning
Draining or extraction of fuel from a
fuel tank must be carried out in a well
ventilated area.
The receptacle used to contain the
fuel must be more than adequate for
the full amount of fuel to be extracted
or drained. The receptacle should be
clearly marked with its contents, and
placed in a safe storage area which
meets the requirements of local
authority regulations.
When fuel has been extracted or
drained from a fuel tank, the
precautions governing naked lights
and ignition sources should be
maintained.
Failure to observe any of the above
warnings could bring about a safety
hazard leading to a risk of personal
injury.
