SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Be sure there is adequate ventilation
whenever you operate the engine.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool
before touching.
• Burns from hot parts.
• To help prevent the vehicle from falling
over, park it on a firm, level surface on the
main stand.
• Make sure the engine is “OFF” before you
begin any maintenance or repair. This will
help to eliminate several potential hazards:
Remember that your Authorised Hero
MotoCorp workshop knows your vehicle best
and is fully equipped to maintain and repair it.
Do not run the engine unless instructed
to do so.
• Read the instruction before you begin and
make sure you have the tools and skills
required.
• Carbon monoxide poisoning from
engine exhaust.
• Injury from moving parts.
• To reduce the possibility of a fire or
explosion, be careful when working around
petrol or batteries. Use only nonflammable
solvent, not petrol, to clean parts. Keep
cigarettes, sparks and flames away from the
battery and all fuel-related parts.
To ensure best quality and reliability, it is
recommended to use Hero MotoCorp
genuine parts for repair and replacement.
