It is not suitable for off-road use. Off-road operation could lead to loss of control of the motorcycle resulting in an accident causing injury or loss of life. !! ! FUEL & EXHAUST FUMES WARNING: PETROL HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: IS 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. !! ! WARNING: This motorcycle is not designed to tow a trailer or be fitted with a sidecar. Fitting a sidecar and/or a trailer may result in loss of control and an accident. WARNING: This motorcycle is designed for use as a two- wheeled vehicle capable of carrying a rider on his own, or a rider and one passenger (subject to a passenger seat being fitted). !! ! 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. WARNING: 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. !! ! The total weight of the rider, and any passenger, accessories and luggage must not exceed the maximum load limit of 195 kg (429 lbs). !! ! Page 4 Foreword - Safety First CRASH HELMET & CLOTHING WARNING: When riding the motorcycle both rider and passenger must always wear a crash helmet, eye protection, gloves, trousers (close fitting around the knee and ankle) and a brightly coloured jacket. Brightly coloured 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. !! ! HANDLEBARS & FOOTRESTS WARNING: The rider must maintain control of the vehicle by keeping hands on the handlebars at all times. The handling and stability of a motorcycle will be adversely affected if the rider removes his hands from the handlebars, resulting in loss of control or an accident. !! ! WARNING: Footrests provided must always be used by rider and passenger during operation of the vehicle. By using the footrests, both rider and passenger will reduce the risk of inadvertent contact with any motorcycle components and will also reduce the risk of injury from entrapment of clothing. !! ! WARNING: A crash helmet is one of the most important pieces of riding gear as it offers protection against head injuries. You and your passenger's crash 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. Page 5 Foreword - Safety First RIDING WARNING: Never ride the motorcycle when fatigued or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Riding when under the influence of alcohol or other drugs is illegal. Riding when fatigued or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs reduces the rider's ability to maintain control of motorcycle and may lead to loss of control and an accident. !! ! WARNING: This Triumph motorcycle should be operated within the legal speed limits for the particular road travelled. Operating a motorcycle at high speeds can be potentially dangerous since the time available to react to given traffic situations is greatly reduced as road speed increases. !! ! Always reduce speed in potentially hazardous driving conditions such as bad weather or heavy traffic. WARNING: Continually observe and react to changes in road surface, traffic and wind conditions. All two- wheeled vehicles are subject to external forces which may cause an accident. These forces include but are not limited to: S S S S ...
