CARBON MONOXIDE
If the engine must be switched on to carry out certain
operations make sure the room is well ventilated or
open to the outside. Never switch on the engine in a
closed room, unless there is a smoke and fume removal
system installed
.
and the operating
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas which make cause loss of
consciousness and can be lethal.
Switch on the engine only in an open space or in a
closed room if fitted with a fully operating smoke and
fume removal system.
FUEL
Make sure the room is well ventilated. Extinguish all
cigarettes, keep fuel containers away from flames and
possible sources of sparks.
Fuel is highly flammable and may explode.
Take special care to check the air and fuel injection
plant hoses; the operating pressure should not
exceed about 750 KPa (7.5 bar).
Any fuel hoses which are cut or cracked should be
replaced.

HIGH TEMPERATURE COMPONENTS
The engine and parts of the exhaust system reach
very high temperatures and remain hot for a certain
period after switching off the engine. Handle these
components only after putting on protective gloves
or waiting for the engine and parts to fully cool
down.
WASTE TRANSMISSION OIL
Use latex gloves for maintenance operations
involving contact with oil. If left in contact with the
skin for long periods, used engine oil can cause
skin cancer. Although this is unlikely, unless
handled every day, wash your hands with soap and
water after handling used engine oil.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION
For repair and disassembly and reassembly operations
follow the instructions.
Do not carry out any operation in the presence of
naked flames.
Before starting any maintenance or inspection
operation, switch off the engine and remove the
ignition key. Wait for the engine and exhaust
system to cool down. Place the motor cycle, if
possible, in a raised position on a level, even
surface. Take special care of heated parts (engine
and the exhaust) in order to avoid burns.
The vehicle is made with parts which cannot be
swallowed. Do not bite, chew, suck or otherwise
attempt to carry out operations using the teeth or
mouth.
Unless otherwise specified, to reassemble parts,
reverse the order for disassembly operations.
Some operations may involve disassembling parts
previously disassembled for other operations to
be carried out. Consult the various pages of the
manual where each operation is described in order
to avoid unnecessary work. Never use fuel as a
solvent for cleaning the vehicle.
If welding operations are to be carried out,
disconnect the negative pole (-) of the battery and
take special care with all electrical components
used for the injection system.
If more than one person is working on the vehicle
make sure both are in a safe position whatever the
work being done.
