CARBON MONOXIDE
Should it be necessary to perform some operations with the vehicle running, make sure to work outdoors or in a well-
ventilated room.
Avoid starting the engine in closed or badly-ventilated rooms.
In case you are working indoors, make use of an exhaust gases scavenging system.
DANGER
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is extremely toxic if inhaled and may cause loss of
consciousness or even lead to death by asphyxia.
FUEL
DANGER
The fuel used to operate engines is highly flammable and becomes explosive under particular
conditions. Refueling and engine service should take place in a well-ventilated area with the engine
stopped. Do not smoke when refueling or in the proximity of sources of fuel vapors, avoid flames,
sparks and any element that could ignite fuel or provoke explosions.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF FUEL IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

The engine and the exhaust system parts become hot and continue to be hot even for some time after the engine has
been stopped.
Before handling these parts, wear heatproof gloves or wait for the engine and the exhaust system to cool completely
down.
USED GEARBOX AND FORK OILS
