Gasoline And Exhaust Gas - Yamaha TENERE XT660Z Owner's Manual

• Certain accessories can dis-
place the operator from his or
her normal riding position. This
improper position limits the
freedom of movement of the
operator and may limit control
ability, therefore, such acces-
sories are not recommended.
● Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical ac-
cessories exceed the capacity of
the motorcycle's electrical sys-
tem, an electric failure could re-
sult, which could cause a danger-
ous loss of lights or engine power.

Gasoline and exhaust gas

●
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-
BLE:
• Always turn the engine off
when refueling.
• Take care not to spill any gaso-
line on the engine or exhaust
system when refueling.
• Never refuel while smoking or
in the vicinity of an open flame.
●
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.
● Always turn the engine off before
leaving the motorcycle unattend-
ed and remove the key from the
main switch. When parking the
motorcycle, note the following:
• The engine and exhaust sys-
tem 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, other-
wise it may fall over.
• Do not park the motorcycle
near a flammable source, (e.g.,
a kerosene heater, or near an
open flame), otherwise it could
catch fire.

SAFETY INFORMATION
●
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 motorcy-
cle should lean over, gasoline
may leak out of the carburetor or
fuel tank.
● If you should swallow any gaso-
line, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor,
or allow gasoline to get into your
eyes, see your doctor immediate-
ly. If any gasoline spills on your
skin or clothing, immediately
wash the affected area with soap
and water and change your
clothes.
