Other tasks that are more difficult and require
special tools are best performed by
professionals. It is recommended that wheel
removal should normally be handled by a
Hero
MotoCorp
authorised workshop.
This section includes instructions on some
important maintenance tasks. You can
perform some of these tasks with the tools
provided (if you have basic mechanical skills).
You will come across some of the most
important safety precautions in the following
pages of this manual.
However, we cannot warn you of every
conceivable hazard that can arise in
performing maintenance. Only you can decide
whether or not you should perform a given
task.
MAINTENANCE SAFETY
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Remember that your Authorised
Hero
MotoCorp
workshop knows your vehicle
best and is fully equipped to maintain and
repair it.
î
Read the instruction before you begin and
make sure you have the tools and skills
required.
î
Make sure the engine is “OFF” before you
begin any maintenance or repair. This will
help to eliminate several potential hazards:
î
To help prevent the vehicle from falling
over,
park it on a firm, level surface on the
main stand.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool
before touching.
î
To reduce the possibility of a fire or
explosion, be careful when working around
petrol or batteries. Use only nonflammable
solvent
,
not petrol, to clean parts. Keep
cigarettes, sparks and flames away from
the battery and all fuel-related parts.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation
whenever you operate the engine.
·
Injury from moving parts.
Do not run the engine unless instructed
to do
so.
·
Burns from hot parts.
To ensure best quality and reliability, it is
recommended to use
Hero MotoCorp
genuine parts for repair and replacement.
·
Carbon monoxide poisoning from
engine exhaust.
