GENERAL SAFETY STANDARDS
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.
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN
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.
USED ENGINE OIL
Use latex gloves for maintenance operations involving
contactwith oil. Ifleft in contact with theskin for longperiods,
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 this 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.
Ifwelding operationsare tobe carriedout, disconnect
the negative pole (-) of the battery. If more than one
person is working on the vehicle make sure both are
in a safe position whatever the work being done.
BEFORE DISASSEMBLY
- Before separating pipes or wires etc. (joints and
junctions) mark each part with a unique marking.
Each piece should be clearly marked for reassembly
purposes.
-Clean and wash the disassembled components with
close to non-inflammable detergent.
-Keep paired parts together, because normal wear and
tear create a natural pairing. In some cases, where one
part is replaced the other must also be replaced.
Keep away from sources of heat.
