Pre-Maintenance
Procedures
CAUTION
If you leave the key in the ignition switch,
someone could accidently start the engine
and seriously injure you or other bystanders.
Park the machine on a level surface, fully
raise and latch the handlebar to engage the
parking brake, shut off the engine, remove the
key, and wait for all moving parts to stop.
Important:
The fasteners on the covers of this
machine are designed to remain on the cover
after removal. Loosen all the fasteners on each
cover a few turns so that the cover is loose but
still attached, then go back and loosen them
until the cover comes free. This prevents you
from accidentally stripping the bolts free of the
retainers.
