WARNINGS, CAUTIONS

AND NOTES

The terms WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE

have specific meanings in this manual.

A WARNING emphasizes areas where injury or

even death could result from negligence. Mechani-

cal damage may also occur. WARNINGS should be

taken seriously.

A CAUTION emphasizes areas where equipment

damage could result. Disregarding a CAUTION

could cause permanent mechanical damage, though

injury is unlikely.

A NOTE provides additional information to

make a step or procedure easier or clearer. Disre-

garding a NOTE could cause inconvenience but

would not cause equipment damage or personal

injury.

SAFETY

Professional mechanics can work for years and

never sustain a serious injury or mishap. Follow

these guidelines and practice common sense to

safely service the motorcycle.

1. Do not operate the vehicle in an enclosed area.

The exhaust gasses contain carbon monoxide, a poi-

sonous gas that is odorless, colorless, and tasteless.

Carbon monoxide levels build quickly in a small

enclosed area, and it can cause unconsciousness and

death in a short time. Make sure the work area is

properly ventilated or operate the vehicle outside.

2. Never use gasoline or any extremely flammable

liquid to clean parts. Refer to Cleaning Parts and

Handling Gasoline Safely in this section.

3. Never smoke or use a torch in the vicinity of

flammable liquids, such as gasoline or cleaning sol-

vent.

4. When welding or brazing on the motorcycle, re-

move the fuel tank, carburetor and shocks to a safe

distance at least 50 ft. (15 m) away.

5. Use the correct type and size tool to avoid dam-

aging fasteners.

6. Keep tools clean and in good condition. Replace

or repair worn or damaged equipment.

7. When loosening a tight fastener, be guided by

what would happen if the tool slips.

8. When replacing fasteners, make sure the new

Fasteners are of the same size and strength as the

original ones.

9. Keep the work area clean and organized.

10. Wear eye protection any time the safety of your

eyes is in question. This includes procedures in-

volving drilling, grinding, hammering, compressed

air and chemicals.

11. Wear the correct clothing for the job. Tie up or

cover long hair so it cannot be caught in moving

equipment.

12. Do not carry sharp tools in clothing pockets.

13. Always have an approved fire extinguisher

available. Make sure it is rated for gasoline (Class

B) and electrical (Class C) fires.

14. Do not use compressed air to clean clothes, the

motorcycle or the work area. Debris may be blown

into your eyes or skin. Never direct compressed air

at yourself or someone else. Do not allow children

to use or play with any compressed air equipment.

15. When using compressed air to dry rotating

parts, hold the part so it can not rotate. Do not allow

the force of the air to spin the part. The air jet is ca-

pable of rotating parts at extreme speed. The part

may be damaged or disintegrate, causing serious

injury.

16. Do not inhale the dust created by brake pad and

Clutch wear. In most cases, these particles contain

asbestos. In addition, some types of insulating ma-

terials and gaskets may contain asbestos. Inhaling

asbestos particles is hazardous to health.

17. Never work on the vehicle while someone is

working under it.

18. When placing the vehicle on a stand, make sure

it is secure before walking away.

Handling Gasoline Safely

Gasoline is a volatile, flammable liquid and is one

of the most dangerous items in the shop.

Because gasoline is used so often, many people

forget that it is hazardous. Only use gasoline as fuel

for gasoline internal combustion engines. When

working on a vehicle, remember that gasoline is al-

ways present in the fuel tank, fuel lines and carbure-

tors. To avoid a disastrous accident when working

around the fuel system, observe the following

precautions:

1. Never use gasoline to clean parts. See Cleaning

Parts in this section.

2. When working on the fuel system, work outside

or in a well-ventilated area.
