WARNING
Petrol (gasoline) is highly flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. When opening the fuel
tank cap always observe all the following items:
Turn the motorcycle ignition switch OFF.
Do not smoke.
Always have a fire extinguisher containing FOAM, CO2, HALON or POWDER close at hand when handling
or draining fuel or fuel systems. Fire extinguishers must also be present in areas where fuel is stored.
Always disconnect the vehicle battery, negative (black) lead first, before carrying out, dismantling or draining
work on a fuel system.
Whenever petrol (gasoline) is being handled, drained, stored or when fuel systems are being dismantled,
make sure the area is well ventilated. All potential forms of ignition must be extinguished or removed (this
includes any appliance with a pilot light). Any lead-lamps must be flame-proof and kept clear of any fuel
spillage.
Warning notices must be posted at a safe distance from the site of the work to warn others that petrol
(gasoline) is being openly handled. The notice must instruct the reader of the precautions which must be
taken.
Failure to observe any of the above warnings may lead to a fire hazard which could result in personal injury.
WARNING
No one should be permitted to repair components associated with petrol (gasoline) without first having
specialist training on the fire hazards which may be created by incorrect installation and repair of items
associated with petrol (gasoline).
Repairs carried out by untrained personnel could bring about a safety hazard leading to a risk of personal
injury.
WARNING
Draining or extraction of petrol (gasoline) from a vehicle fuel tank must be carried out in a well ventilated
area.
The receptacle used to contain the petrol (gasoline) 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 petrol (gasoline) 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.
Fuel Tank Removal
Fuel tanks should have a 'PETROL (GASOLINE) VAPOUR' warning label attached to them as soon as they are
removed from the vehicle. In all cases, they must be stored in a secured, marked area.
Chassis Repairs
WARNING
If the motorcycle is involved in an accident or collision it must be taken to an authorised Triumph dealer for
repair or inspection. Any accident can cause damage to the motorcycle, which if not correctly repaired, may
cause a second accident which may result in injury or death.
