COOLANT
In certain conditions, the ethylene glycol
contained in the engine coolant is flammable;
its flame is invisible, but you can be burned
anyway.
WARNING
Avoid spilling the engine coolant on the
exhaust system or on the engine
components. They may be hot enough to
cause the coolant to ignite and burn
without a visible flame.
The coolant (ethylene glycol) can cause
skin irritation and is poisonous if
swallowed.
Coolant and coolant/water mixtures are
sweet to the taste and brightly colored,
therefore highly attractive to pets and
children. Take extra precautions to keep
new and used coolant out of reach of
children and animals.
KEEP COOLANT AWAY FROM
CHILDREN.
Risk of burns.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. Wait until the engine has
completely cooled down. The coolant is
under pressure and may splash out and
cause burns.
BATTERY HYDROGEN GAS AND
ELECTROLYTE
WARNING
The battery gives off noxious and
explosive gases; keep cigarettes, flames
and sparks away from the battery.
Provide adequate ventilation when
operating or recharging the battery.
The electrolyte is poisonous.
If the electrolyte is accidentally
swallowed, drink large quantities of
water or milk and then milk of magnesia
or vegetable oil. Immediately consult a
health professional.
KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
WARNINGS - PRECAUTIONS -
GENERAL ADVICE
Before starting the engine, read this manual
carefully, in particular the chapters
"WARNINGS - PRECAUTIONS - GENERAL
ADVICE" and "SAFE DRIVE" see p. 17.
Your safety and that of those around you
depends not only on your skill as a rider,
but also your knowledge of your vehicle
and about riding safely. Therefore it is
essential that you not operate your vehicle
on public streets or highways until you
have received instructions from a qualified
safety organization such as the Motorcycle
Safety Foundation, and until you are
properly trained and licensed.
REPORTING DEFECTS THAT
AFFECT SAFETY
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect
which could cause a crash or could cause
injury or death, you should immediately inform
the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), in addition to notifying
Moto Guzzi. If NHTSA receives similar
complaints, it may open an investigation, and if
it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of
vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy
campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become
involved in individual problems between you,
your dealer or Moto Guzzi. To contact NHTSA,
you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll
free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in the
Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA,
U.S. Department of Transportation,
Washington, D.C. 20590.
You can also obtain other information about
motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.
