electric failure could result, which
could cause a dangerous loss of
engine power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas
●
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-
BLE:
●
Always turn the engine off when
refueling.
●
Take care not to spill any gaso-
line on the engine or exhaust
pipe/muffler when refueling.
●
Never refuel while smoking or in
the vicinity of an open flame.
●
Never start the engine or let it run
for any length of time in a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are poi-
sonous and may cause loss of
consciousness and death within a
short time. Always operate your
motorcycle in an area that has ad-
equate ventilation.
●
Always turn the engine off before
leaving the motorcycle unattend-
ed. When parking the motorcycle,
note the following:
●
The engine and exhaust pipe/
muffler may be hot, therefore,
park the motorcycle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch these hot
areas.
●
Do not park the motorcycle on a
slope or soft ground, otherwise it
may fall over.
●
Do not park the motorcycle near
a flammable source (e.g., a ker-
osene heater, or near an open
flame), otherwise it could catch
fire.
● When transporting the motorcycle
in another vehicle, make sure that
it is kept upright and that the fuel
cock is turned to “OFF”. If the mo-
torcycle should lean over, gasoline
may leak out of the carburetor or
fuel tank.
● If you should swallow any gaso-
line, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor,
or allow gasoline to get into your
eyes, see your doctor immediate-
ly. If any gasoline spills on your
skin or clothing, immediately wash
the affected area with soap and
water and change your clothes.
