Safety Precautions - Honda CRF125F 2021 Owner's Manual

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Make sure the engine is off before you
begin any maintenance or repairs. This
will help eliminate several potential
hazards:
Carbon monoxide poisoning from
✽
engine exhaust.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation
whenever you operate the engine.
Burns from hot parts.
✽
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes and
other high-temperature parts to cool
before servicing as you can get burned.
Injury from moving parts.
✽
Do not run the engine unless
instructed to do so.
• Read the instructions before you begin,
and make sure you have the tools and
skills required.
• To help prevent the motorcycle from
falling over, park it on a firm, level
surface, using the side stand or a
maintenance stand to provide support.
• To reduce the possibility of a fire or
explosion, be careful when working
around petrol. Use only nonflammable
solvent, not petrol, to clean parts. Keep
cigarettes, sparks and flames away from
all fuel-related parts.
Remember that your dealer knows your
motorcycle best and is fully equipped to
maintain and repair it.
To ensure the best quality and reliability,
use only new Honda Genuine Parts or their
equivalents for repair and replacement.
Changing parts can affect your health and
safety. We recommend that you consult
your dealer if you do not have the proper
skill and tools to change parts on your own.
