All riders must follow the instructions below, in addition to general precautions to be observed while riding the vehicle. Especially:

- Read this handbook carefully to learn about the operation, safety equipment and all necessary precautions. This will allow

you to ride the vehicle safely.

- This vehicle has been designed and built to be ridden outdoors by experienced adult riders.

- Petrol (fuel) is highly flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. You must always refuel in a well

ventilated area and with the ignition switch turned to the OFF position.

- Do not smoke while refuelling and/or in the vicinity of fuel storage areas. Make sure the refuelling area is free from any

source of flame or sparks.

- Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refuelling, make sure the cap has been securely and appropriately locked.

- Make sure there are no fuel leaks during refuelling. Fuel vapours or possible leaks may ignite. Ensure that the fuelling

area is completely dry before starting the engine.

person exposed.

- In the event that fuel comes into contact with your eyes, you must seek immediate medical attention.
