SAFETY WHILE WORKING

E
INFO
SAFETY WHILE WORKING
The procedures given in this manual are
those recommended by Yamaha to be fol-
lowed by Yamaha dealers and their
mechanics.

FIRE PREVENTION

Gasoline (petrol) is highly flammable.
Petroleum vapor is explosive if ignited.
Do not smoke while handling, and keep it
away from heat, sparks, and open flames.

VENTILATION

Petroleum vapor is heavier than air and is
deadly if inhaled in large quantities. Engine
exhaust gases are harmful to breathe.
When test-running an engine indoors,
maintain good ventilation.

SELF-PROTECTION

Protect your eyes with suitable safety
glasses or safety goggles when using com-
pressed air, when grinding or when doing
any operation which may cause particles to
fly off. Protect hands and feet by wearing
safety gloves or protective shoes if appro-
priate to the work you are doing.
OILS, GREASES AND SEALING
FLUIDS
Use only genuine Yamaha oils, greases and
sealing fluids or those recommended by
Yamaha.
