Fuel and Exhaust Fumes Safety Helmet and Clothing
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:
Always turn off the engine when refuelling.
Do not refuel or open the fuel filler cap
while smoking or in the vicinity of any
open (naked) flame.
Take care not to spill any gasoline on the
engine, exhaust pipes or mufflers when
refuelling.
If gasoline is swallowed, inhaled or allowed
to get into the eyes, seek immediate
medical attention.
Spillage on the skin should be immediately
washed off with soap and water and
clothing contaminated with gasoline
should immediately be removed.
Burns and other serious skin conditions
may result from contact with gasoline.
Never start your engine or let it run for any
length of time in a closed area. The
exhaust fumes are poisonous and may
cause loss of consciousness and death
within a short time. Always operate your
motorcycle in the open-air or in an area
with adequate ventilation.
When riding the motorcycle, both rider
and passenger must always wear a
motorcycle helmet, eye protection, gloves,
boots, trousers (close fitting around the
knee and ankle) and a brightly colored
jacket. Brightly colored clothing will
considerably increase a rider's (or
passenger's) visibility to other operators of
road vehicles. Although full protection is
not possible, wearing correct protective
clothing can reduce the risk of injury when
riding.
