SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This owner’s manual includes instructions on how to perform some
important maintenance tasks. If you have basic mechanical skills,
you should be able to perform many of these tasks.
Other tasks that are more difficult and require special tools are best
performed by professionals. Wheel removal should normally be
handled by a Brammo Authorized Dealer or a qualified mechanic.
Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However, we
cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in
performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you
can or should perform a given task.
Remember that your Brammo Authorized Dealer knows your
Empulse best and is fully equipped to maintain it.
Before Starting Work
• Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have
the tools and skills required.
• To help prevent the Empulse from falling over, park it on a firm,
level surface, using the kickstand or a maintenance stand to
provide support.
• Make sure the ignition is off and the key removed before you
begin any maintenance or repair.
Electric Shock Hazard
Brammo recommends that you always disconnect the Battery Safety
Disconnect before working on any of the electrical systems. See
“
BATTERY SAFETY DISCONNECT”, p a g e 5 1 .
Moving Parts
WARNING
Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions and precautions
can cause you to be seriously injured or killed. Always follow the
procedures and precautions in this owner’s manual.
WARNING
Your Empulse has high-voltage DC and AC electrical systems (103.6V
nominal) which can be dangerous and cause personal injury, severe
burns, electric shock and even fatal injury unless appropriate
precautions are taken.
Your Empulse has been designed and built with user safety as a
priority but please be aware of the following precautions:
•
Always use extreme caution when working with or around any
battery terminals, cables, or other high voltage components.
•
Always observe and obey the instructions on labels attached to
components - they are there for your safety.
•
The high voltage system has no user serviceable parts. Do not
disassemble, remove or replace high voltage components, cables
or connectors.
WARNING
Never run the motor during any service task; there is always the risk
of clothing, limbs, or tools coming into contact with rotating
components leading, to serious injury or death.
