Before starting, always wear a correctly
fastened crash helmet. Make sure that it is
homologated, in good shape, of the right
size and that the visor is clean.
Wear protective clothing, preferably in light
and/or reflecting colours.
In this way you will make yourself more visible to the other drivers, thus notably reducing the risk of being k nocked d own, and
you will be more protected in case of fall.
This clothing should be very tight-fitting
and fastened at the wrists and ankles.
Strings, belts and ties should not be hanging loose; prevent these and other objects
from interfering with driving by getting entangled with moving parts or driving mechanisms.

Do not keep objects tha t can be dan gerous
in case of fall, for example pointed objects
like keys, pens, glass vials etc. in your
pockets (the same recommendations also

Avoid installing accessories that cover

Be careful and moderate when loading

sure that the load is firmly secured to the
vehicle, especially during long trips.

aWARNING
The fuel used for internal combustion
engines is extremely inflammable and
in particular conditions it can become
explosive. It is important to carry out
the refuelling and the maintenance op erations in a well-ventilated area, with
the engine off. Do not smoke wh ile re fuelling or near fuel vapours, in any case
avoid any contact with naked flames,
sparks and an y other heat so urce to
prevent the fuel from catching fire or
from exploding. Further, prevent fuel
from flowing out of the fuel filler, as it
could catch fire when getting in contact
with the red-hot surfaces of the engine.
In case some fuel has accidentally been
spilt, make su re that the area is completely dry before starting the vehicle.
Since petrol expands under the heat of
the sun and due to the effects of su n radiation, never fill the tank to the brim.
Screw the cap carefully after refuelling.
Avoid any contact of the f uel with the
skin and the inhalation of vapours; do
not swallow fuel or pour it from a receptacle into another by means of a tube.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF FUEL IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
