GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid Carbon Monoxide
Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing car-
bon monoxide can cause headaches,
dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confu-
sion and eventually death.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odor-
less, tasteless gas that may be present
even if you do not see or smell any en-
gine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can collect rapidly, and you
can quickly be overcome and unable
to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of
carbon monoxide can linger for hours
or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated
areas. If you experience any symp-
toms of carbon monoxide poisoning,
leave the area immediately, get fresh
air and seek medical treatment.
To prevent serious injury or death from
carbon monoxide:
– Never run the vehicle in poorly ven-
tilated or partially enclosed areas
such as garages, carports or barns.
Even if you try to ventilate engine
exhaust with fans or open windows
and doors, carbon monoxide can
rapidly reach dangerous levels.
– Never run the vehicle outdoors
where engine exhaust can be drawn
into a building through openings
such as windows and doors.
Avoid Gasoline Fires and
Other Hazards
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive.
Fuel vapors can
spread and be ignited by a spark or
flame many feet away from the en-
gine. To reduce the risk of fire or explo-
sion, follow these instructions:
– Refuel outdoors in a well ventilated
area away from flames, sparks, lit
cigarettes and other sources of igni-
tion.
– Never add fuel with engine running.
– Never top off the fuel tank. Leave
some room for the fuel to expand
with temperature changes.
– Wipe up any spilled fuel.
– Never start or operate the engine
with the fuel cap removed.
– Use only an approved red gasoline
container to store fuel.
– Do not carry gasoline containers in
the front storage compartment or
anywhere else on the vehicle.
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause
injury or death.
– Never siphon gasoline by mouth.
– If you swallow gasoline, get any in
your eye or inhale gasoline vapor,
see your doctor immediately.
If gasoline spills on you, wash with
soap and water and change your
clothes.
Avoid Burns from Hot Parts
The exhaust, oil and cooling systems,
and engine become hot during opera-
tion. Avoid contact during and shortly
after operation to avoid burns.
Accessories and
Modifications
Do not make unauthorized modifica-
tions, or use attachments or acces-
sories that are not approved by BRP.
Since these changes have not been
tested by BRP, they may increase the
risk of crashes on the road or injuries,
and they can make the vehicle illegal
for use on the road.
Unlike most motorcycles, the Spyder
roadster is equipped with a Vehicle Sta-
bility System (VSS), which is calibrated
for the vehicle normal configuration.
VSS may not function properly if the
vehicle is modified, such as changing
weight distribution, wheelbase, tires,
suspension, brakes or steering.
See your authorized Can-Am roadster
dealer for available accessories for
your vehicle.
