SAFETY INFORMATION
Gasoline and exhaust gas
G
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-
BLE:
1
• Always turn the engine off when
refueling.
• Take care not to spill any gaso-
line on the engine or exhaust
pipe(s)/muffler(s) when refuel-
ing.
• Never refuel while smoking or in
the vicinity of an open flame.
G
Never start the engine or let it run
for any length of time in a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are poi-
sonous and may cause loss of
consciousness and death within a
short time. Always operate your
motorcycle in an area that has ad-
equate ventilation.
G
Always turn the engine off before
leaving the motorcycle unattended
and remove the key from the main
switch. When parking the motor-
cycle, note the following:
• The engine and exhaust pipe(s)/
muffler(s) may be hot, therefore,
park the motorcycle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch these hot
areas.
• Do not park the motorcycle on a
slope or soft ground, otherwise it
may fall over.
• Do not park the motorcycle near
a flammable source (e.g., a ker-
osene heater, or near an open
flame), otherwise it could catch
fire.
G
When transporting the motorcycle
in another vehicle, make sure that
it is kept upright and that the fuel
cock(s) are turned to "ON" or
"RES" (for vacuum type)/"OFF"
(for manual type). If the motorcycle
should lean over, gasoline may
leak out of the carburetor or fuel
tank.
G
If you should swallow any gaso-
line, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor,
or allow gasoline to get into your
eyes, see your doctor immediately.
If any gasoline spills on your skin
or clothing, immediately wash the
affected area with soap and water
and change your clothes.
