5. GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE.
Always turn off the engine while refu-
eling. Take care to not spill any gaso-
line on the engine or exhaust system.
Never refuel in the vicinity of an open
flame, or while smoking.
6. GASOLINE CAN CAUSE INJURY.
If you should swallow some gasoline,
inhale excess gasoline vapors, or
allow any gasoline to get into your
eyes, contact a doctor immediately. If
any gasoline spills onto your skin or
clothing, immediately wash skin areas
with soap and water, and change your
clothes.
7. ONLY OPERATE THE MACHINE IN AN
AREA WITH ADEQUATE VENTILA-
TION.
Never start the engine or let it run for
any length of time in an enclosed area.
Exhaust fumes are poisonous. These
fumes contain carbon monoxide,
which by itself is odorless and color-
less. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous
gas which can cause unconscious-
ness or can be lethal.
8. PARK THE MACHINE CAREFULLY;
TURN OFF THE ENGINE.
Always turn off the engine if you are
going to leave the machine. Do not
park the machine on a slope or soft
ground as it may fall over.
9. THE ENGINE, EXHAUST PIPE, MUF-
FLER, AND OIL TANK WILL BE VERY
HOT AFTER THE ENGINE HAS BEEN
RUN.
Be careful not to touch them or to
allow any clothing item to contact
them during inspection or repair.
10. PROPERLY SECURE THE MACHINE
BEFORE TRANSPORTING IT.
When transporting the machine in
another vehicle, always be sure it is
properly secured and in an upright
position and that the fuel cock is in
the “OFF” position. Otherwise, fuel
may leak out of the carburetor or fuel
tank.

INFO
CLEANING AND STORAGE
8. Automotive wax may be applied to all
painted or chromed surfaces. Avoid com-
bination cleaner-waxes, as they may con-
tain abrasives.
9. After completing the above, start the
engine and allow it to idle for several min-
utes.
EC1B2001
STORAGE
If your machine is to be stored for 60 days or
more, some preventive measures must be
taken to avoid deterioration. After cleaning the
machine thoroughly, prepare it for storage as
follows:
1. Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines, and the car-
buretor float bowl.
2. Remove the spark plug, pour a table-
spoon of SAE 10W-30 motor oil in the
spark plug hole, and reinstall the plug.
With the engine stop switch pushed in,
kick the engine over several times to coat
the cylinder walls with oil.
3. Remove the drive chain, clean it thor-
oughly with solvent, and lubricate it. Rein-
stall the chain or store it in a plastic bag
tied to the frame.
4. Lubricate all control cables.
5. Block the frame up to raise the wheels off
the ground.
6. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe
outlet to prevent moisture from entering.
7. If the machine is to be stored in a humid
or salt-air environment, coat all exposed
metal surfaces with a film of light oil. Do
not apply oil to rubber parts or the seat
cover.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before the
machine is stored.
