Q SAFETY INFORMATION
tric failure could result, which could
cause a dangerous loss of lights or
engine power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas
8GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAM-
MABLE:
9Always turn the engine off
when refueling.
9Take care not to spill any
gasoline on the engine or
exhaust system when refueling.
9Never refuel while smoking or
in the vicinity of an open flame.
8Never start the engine or let it run
for any length of time in a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are poi-
sonous and may cause loss of con-
sciousness and death within a
short time. Always operate your
scooter in an area that has adequate
ventilation.
8Always turn the engine off before
leaving the scooter unattended and
remove the key from the main
switch. When parking the scooter,
note the following:
9The engine and exhaustsystem may be hot, therefore,
park the scooter in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch these hot
areas.
9Do not park the scooter on a
slope or soft ground, otherwise
it may fall over.
9Do not park the scooter near a
flammable source (e.g., a
kerosene heater, or near an
open flame), otherwise it could
catch fire.
8If you should swallow any gasoline,
inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or
allow gasoline to get into your eyes,
see your doctor immediately. If any
gasoline spills on your skin or cloth-
ing, immediately wash the affected
area with soap and water and
change your clothes.
