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.

RAYONS/CONTROLE DE LA ROUE
REIFENLUFTDRUCK KONTROLLIEREN/SPEICHEN KONTROLLIEREN
UND FESTZIEHEN/RÄDER KONTROLLIEREN
REIFENLUFTDRUCK KONTROLLIEREN
1. Messen:
Reifenluftdruck
Unvorschriftsmäßig → Einstellen.
HINWEIS:
Den Reifenluftdruck bei kalten Reifen kon-
trollieren.
Bei zu niedrigem Reifendruck liegt die Rei-
fenwulst nicht fest an, was dazu führen kann,
daß sich der Reifen von der Felge löst.
Ein geneigter Reifenventilschaft deutet an,
daß der Reifen verrutscht ist.
Bei geneigtem Reifenventilschaft muß die
Reifenposition berichtigt werden.
Standard-Reifenluftdruck
100 kPa (1,0 bar)
SPEICHEN KONTROLLIEREN UND
FESTZIEHEN
1. Kontrollieren:
Speichen 1
Verzug/Beschädigung → Erneuern.
Speichen locker → Nachspannen.
2. Festziehen:
Speichen
HINWEIS:
Die Speichen müssen vor und nach dem Ein-
fahren nachgezogen werden. Nach jeder
Übungsfahrt bzw. Rennen die Speichenspan-
nung prüfen.
T R..3 Nm (0,3 m · kg)
RÄDER KONTROLLIEREN
1. Messen:
Felgenschlag
Das Rad anheben und drehen.
Übermäßig → Erneuern. CONTROLE DE PRESSION DES PNEUS
1. Mesurer:
Pression des pneus
Hors spécification → Régler.
N.B.:
Vérifier le pneu alors qu’il est froid.
Des butées de bourrelet lâches permettent au
pneu de se détacher de sa position sur la jante
lorsque la pression des pneus est basse.
Une tige de soupape de pneu inclinée indique que
le pneu se détache de sa position sur la jante.
Si la tige de soupape de pneu est inclinée, le pneu
a tendance à se détacher de sa position. Corriger
la position du pneu.
Pression des pneus standard:
100 kPa (1,0 kgf/cm2, 15 psi)
CONTROLE ET SERRAGE DES RAYONS
1. Contrôler:
Rayons 1
Déformation/endommagement → Changer.
Rayons desserrés → Resserrer.
2. Serrer:
Rayon
N.B.:
Ne pas oublier de retendre les rayons avant et après
le rodage. Après un entraînement ou une course,
contrôler si les rayons ne sont pas détendus.
T R..3 Nm (0,3 m · kg, 2,2 ft · lb)
