GENERAL INFORMATION V750 IE HYDROGEN GAS AND BATTERY ELECTROLYTE DANGER The battery electrolyte is a toxic, caustic substance containing sulphuric acid and thus able to cause severe burns in case of contact. Always wear tight gloves and protective clothes when handling this fluid.
Page 14
NOTE All bearings must rotate freely with no hardness or noise. Replace any bearings that do not meet these requirements. Use ORIGINAL Moto Guzzi SPARE PARTS only. Use the specified lubricants and consumables. Where possible, lubricate a part before assembly.
GENERAL INFORMATION V750 IE 1.3. DANGEROUS ELEMENTS 1.3.1. WARNINGS FUEL DANGER The fuel used to operate engines is highly flammable and becomes explosive under particular conditions. Refuelling and engine service should take place in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke when refuelling or in the proximity of sources of fuel vapours.
Page 16
GENERAL INFORMATION V750 IE BRAKE FLUID NOTE This vehicle is fitted with front and rear disc brakes. Each braking system is operated by an independent hydraulic circuit. The information provided below applies to both braking systems. DANGER Do not use the vehicle in case brakes are worn out or do not work properly! The brakes are the parts that most ensure your safety and for this reason they must always be perfectly working.
Page 17
GENERAL INFORMATION V750 IE COOLANT DANGER Coolant is toxic when ingested and is an irritant, contact with eyes or skin may cause irritation. In the event of contact with eyes, rinse repeatedly with abundant water and seek medical advice. In the event of ingestion, induce vomiting, rinse mouth and throat with abundant water and seek medical advice immediately.
