GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS

This manual does not contain general safety rules because
they are considered part of standard management within
workshops; it contains however, warnings and instructions
of particular importance which, if not respected, could
injure the operator or the vehicle.
It is however very important that the technicians, carrying
out any operation contained in this manual, even if the
specific tools recommended by "Moto Guzzi" are used,
always check that the methods and tools employed for
carrying out any procedure do not endanger the safety of
the operator or the vehicle.
4 RULES FOR MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES
To make sure that the vehicle is always in perfect working
condition, it is necessary to follow the instructions provided
in the scheduled maintenance program, described in
section D.
The first series of maintenance procedures must be carried
out after 1500 Km, as describedon the table in chapter 1
of section D; carrying out these operations is essential as
they allow the operator to check the initial wear, which
takes place during the running-in period.
Furthermore, it is important to observe the following basic
rules during maintenance procedures:
• Seal rings, gaskets, split pins, O rings and all the parts
which ensure a seal must be replaced with new parts
during reassembly procedures.
• It is necessary to use tools specifically designed for
this motorbike, in order to avoid incorrect assemblies
or damages
• During the maintenance operations only use decimal
metric system material and tools as the nuts, bolts
and screws in this system cannot be interchanged with
the imperial system;
• When tightening nuts or bolts, it is a good practice to
always start with those with a larger diameter or those
positioned more internally; then proceed diagonally,
step by step, unless a specific sequence has been
prescribed.
• After reassembly operations make sure that all the
reinstalled components work correctly.
