Safety Instructions; Jacking And Lifting; Precautions Against Damage - Triumph Rocket III Classic Service Manual

General Information
Never use mineral based grease in any part of the
braking system or in any area where contact with the
braking system is possible. Mineral based grease will
damage the hydraulic seals in the calipers and master
cylinders.
Damage caused by contact with mineral based grease
may reduce braking efficiency resulting in an accident.
Before installation, all internal brake components should
be cleaned and lubricated with clean new DOT 4 brake
fluid.
Never use solvents, petrol (gasoline), engine oil or any
other petroleum distillate on internal brake components
as this will cause deterioration of the hydraulic seals in
the calipers and master cylinders.
A dangerous riding condition leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident could result if this
warning is ignored.
Safety Instructions
Jacking and Lifting
Always ensure that any lifting apparatus has adequate
load and safety capacity for the weight to be lifted.
Ensure the motorcycle is well supported to prevent any
possibility of the machine falling prior to lifting or jacking
or while repairs and servicing are carried out.
Never rely on a single means of support when working
with the motorcycle. Use additional safety supports and
straps to prevent toppling.
Do not leave tools, lifting equipment, spilt oil, etc. in a
place where they could become a hazard to health.
Always work in a clean, tidy area and put all tools away
when the work is finished.
Precautions against Damage
Avoid spilling brake fluid or battery acid on any part of the
bodywork. Wash spillages off with water immediately.
Disconnect the battery earth lead before starting work, see
ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS.
Always use the recommended service tool where
specified.
Protect exposed bearing and sealing surfaces, and screw
threads from damage.
