SAFE OPERATING RULES
Before operating your Ural it is your responsibility to read and follow operating and maintenance
instructions in this manual and follow these basic rules for your personal safety.
•
Know and respect the Rules of the Road in your state.
•
Use only IMWA approved parts and accessories.
•
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
•
Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks when refueling or servicing the fuel system. Always close the fuel
supply valve when the engine is not running to prevent flooding of the carburetors. Do
not overfill fuel tank. Fill tank slowly to prevent fuel spillage. Leave air space to allow for
fuel expansion. Do not fill more than about an inch below the lower edge of the tank filler.
•
Motorcycle exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Do not inhale exhaust
gases and never run the engine in a closed garage or confined area.
•
Before starting engine, check for proper operation of brake, clutch, shifter,
throttle controls, correct fuel and oil supply.
•
A new motorcycle must be operated according to a special break-in procedure (see
Running-In The New Motorcycle).
•
Operate the motorcycle only at moderate speed and out of traffic until you
have become thoroughly familiar with its operation and handling
characteristics under all conditions. If you are an inexperienced rider we
recommend that you obtain information and training in correct motorcycle
riding technique.
•
Do not exceed the legal speed limit or drive too fast for existing conditions.
Always reduce speed when poor driving conditions exist. High speed
increases the influence of any other condition affecting stability and the
possibility of loss of control.
•
Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions. Any two or three-
wheeled vehicle may be subject to upsetting forces. Wind blasts from passing trucks,
holes in the pavement, rough road surfaces, rider control error, etc., may influence the
handling characteristics of your motorcycle. Should this happen, reduce speed and
guide the motorcycle with a relaxed grip to a straightaway position. Do not brake
abruptly or force the handlebars as this may aggravate an unstable condition. New
riders should gain experience under various conditions while driving at moderate speeds.
•
Operate your motorcycle defensively. Remember, a motorcycle does not afford the same
protection as an automobile in an accident.
•
Wear an approved helmet, clothing and footgear suited to motorcycle riding. Bright or
light colors are best for greater visibility in traffic especially at night. Avoid loose flowing
garments and scarves.
•
The exhaust pipes and mufflers get very hot when the engine is running and remain
too hot to touch for some time after the engine is shut off.
•
Wear clothing that will completely cover the legs when riding and avoid
contact with the exhaust system.
•
Do not allow others, under any circumstances to operate your motorcycle
