FUEL HANDLING
Precautions should be taken when handling any type of petrochemicals.
Gasoline can catch re, and is toxic to life and the environment.
umpstar motorbikes recommend the following safety tips to avoid
accidents, injury/death:
Always turn o the engine when re-fuelling. Do not refuel right aer
the engine has been running and is still very hot. Do not spill gasoline on
the engine or exhaust pipe/muer when refuelling. When transporting the
machine in another motorcycle, be sure it is kept upright and that the fuel
cock is in the “OFF” position. Otherwise, fuel may leak out of the Carbure-
tor or fuel tank.
