IMPORTANT NOTICE:
• Do not run the engine in a closed space.
Even if you try to dissipate exhaust
gases with fans or opening doors and
windows, the carbon dioxide can rapidly
reach dangerous levels.
• Do not run engines in rooms with a lack
of ventilation or partially closed areas
such as factory buildings, garages or
under canopy roofs for car ports.
• Do not run the engine outside where ex-
haust gases can enter the surrounding
buildings through openings like doors or
windows.

LOAD

The addition of accessories of loads to the
motorcycle can negatively affect its stabili-
ty and use, if it changes the distribution of
weights on the motorcycle. To avoid possi-
ble accidents, adding loads or accessories
to the motorcycle must be done with ex-
treme care.
Take great care when riding a motorcycle
that has had loads or accessories added.
Together with the information about acces-
sories, there is a list of some general guide-
lines to respect in case of transporting loads
on the motorbike.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Using an overloaded vehicle may lead to
accidents.
Loading the vehicle within the correct
limits, take the following into account:
• Keep the weight of the load and ac-
cessories as low as possible and as
close as possible to the motorcycle.
Carefully secure the heavier items
as close as possible to the centre of
the vehicle and be sure to distribute
weights evenly on both sides of the
motorcycle to reduce imbalances or
instability to a minimum.
• Moving loads may be the cause of
sudden losses of balance. Make sure
that accessories and loads are prop-
erly secured to the motorcycle before
starting it. Frequently check the sup-
ports of the accessories and devices
that secure loads.
• Correctly adjust suspension according
to load (adjustable suspension models
only) and check tyre conditions and
pressure.
• Never attach large or heavy items to
the handlebars, fork or mudguard.

These items, including loads such as
sleeping bags, bags with personal ef-
fects or tents, can cause instability or
reduce the steering response.
• This vehicle is not designed to tow a
trailer or to be connected to a side-car.
Original Benelli Q.J. accessories
The choice of accessories for your ve-
hicle is an important decision. Original
Benelli Q.J. accessories are only avail-
able from Benelli dealers; they have
been designed, tested and approved by
Benelli Q.J. for use on your vehicle.
The installation of after market products
or the introduction of other changes to
the vehicle, which leading to changes in
the design or operating characteristics,
may expose you or others to the risk of
serious accidents and even death.
You are therefore responsible for acci-
dents occurring with regard to changes
made to the vehicle.
