Fuel and Exhaust Fumes
DANGER
Never start the engine or run the
engine in a confined area.
Always operate the motorcycle in the
open air or in an area with adequate
ventilation.
Exhaust fumes are poisonous and will
cause loss of consciousness and death
within a short period of time.
WARNING
PETROL IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:
- Always turn off the engine when
refuelling.
- Pay full attention and remain alert
while 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 petrol on
the engine, exhaust pipes or silencers
when refuelling.
- If petrol 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
petrol should immediately be removed.
- Burns and other serious skin
conditions may result from contact
with petrol.
Failure to follow the advice above
could result in serious injury or death.
Helmet and Clothing
DANGER
A helmet is one of the most important
pieces of riding gear as it offers
protection against head injuries. You
and your passenger's helmet should
be carefully chosen and should fit you
or your passenger's head comfortably
and securely. A brightly coloured
helmet will increase a rider's (or
passenger's) visibility to other
operators of road vehicles.
An open face helmet offers some
protection in an accident though a full
face helmet will offer more.
Always wear a visor or approved
goggles to help vision and to protect
your eyes.
Failure to follow the advice above will
result in serious injury or death.
