MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE

ALL MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTEMENT OPERATIONS THAT ARE MARKED WITH A * REQUIRE SPECIALIST KNOWLEDGE. FOR YOUR OWN
SECURITY, LET THESE TASKS BE CARRIED OUT BY A KTM-DEALER. AT KTM YOUR MOTORCYCLE WILL RECIEVE OPTIMAL SERVICING BY
SPECIALLY TRAINED MECHANICS.
– WHEN CLEANING THE MOTORCYCLE, DO NOT USE A HIGH PRESSURE CLEANING UNIT IF POSSIBLE, OTHERWISE WATER WILL PENETRATE
THE BEARINGS, CARBURETOR, ELECTRIC CONNECTORS ETC.
– WHEN TRANSPORTING YOUR KTM, ENSURE THAT IT IS HELD UPRIGHT WITH RESTRAINING STRAPS OR OTHER MECHANICAL FASTENING
DEVICES. IF THE MOTORCYCLE SHOULD FALL OVER, FUEL CAN LEAK FROM THE CARBURETOR OR FUEL TANK
– DO NOT USE TOOTHED WASHERS OR SPRING WASHERS WITH THE ENGINE FASTENING SCREWS, AS THESE WORK INTO THE FRAME PARTS
AND KEEP WORKING LOOSE. INSTEAD, USE SELF-LOCKING NUTS.
– IF YOU UNSCREW ANY SCREWED CONNECTIONS WITH SELF-LOCKING NUTS, THEY MUST BE REPLACED WHEN MOUNTING. IF NO SELF-
LOCKING NUTS ARE AVAILABLE, APPLY LOCTITE 243 TO THE THREAD. THE SCREWS AND NUTS MUST BE REPLACED IF THE THREAD IS
DAMAGED.
– ALL SCREWS AND NUTS MUST BE TIGHTENED TO THE SPECIFIED TORQUE FIGURES USING A TORQUE WRENCH. IF SCREWS OR NUTS
ARE NOT ADEQUATELY TIGHTENED, THEY CAN BECOME LOOSE AND CAUSE THE MOTORCYCLE TO GO OUT OF CONTROL WHILE YOU DRIVE.
TIGHTENING THE SCREWS AND NUTS TOO TIGHTLY CAN DAMAGE THE THREAD AND COMPONENTS.
– LET YOUR MOTORCYCLE COOL DOWN BEFORE BEGINNING ANY MAINTENANCE WORK IN ORDER TO AVOID GETTING BURNED.
– PROPERLY DISPOSE OF OIL, GREASE, FILTERS, FUEL, CLEANSERS, BRAKE FLUID, COOLING LIQUID, ETC. OBSERVE THE REGULATIONS
EFFECTIVE IN YOUR COUNTRY. ALSO OBSERVE THE SAFETY REGULATIONS WHEN HANDLING THESE SUBSTANCES.
– UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY USED OIL BE DISPOSED OF IN THE SEWAGE SYSTEM OR IN THE OPEN COUNTRYSIDE. 1 LITER USED
OIL CONTAMINATES 1,000.000 LITERS WATER.
