SAFETY ACCESSORIES

Most deaths from motorcycle accidents
are caused through head injuries.
The use of a helmet is the most impor-
tant factor in preventing or reducing
head injuries.
• Always wear an approved helmet..
• Wear a visor or goggles. Wind in un-
protected eyes can reduce visibility
and delay the perception of any dan-
gers.
• Wearing a jacket, heavy boots, trou-
sers, gloves, etc. is very useful in pre-
venting or reducing tears and abra-
sions.
• Never wear flowing or loose clothing
that could become caught up in the
control levers, foot rests or wheels,
causing injury or accidents.
• Always wear protective clothing that
covers legs, ankles and feet The mo-
tor or exhaust system heat up a good
deal during or after running and can
cause scalding.
The passenger must also abide by the
above precautions.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Beware of carbon monoxide poi-
soning.
All engine exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide, which is a lethal gas. Inhaling
73
carbon monoxide can cause headaches,
dizziness, feeling drowsy, nausea, con-
fusion and even death.
Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odour-
less and tasteless gas that can be pre-
sent even if you don't see the exhaust
gases from the engine or smell the
odour. Deadly levels of carbon monox-
ide can build up rapidly and overpower
you quickly, preventing you from saving
yourself.
Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can
persist for hours and hours in closed
rooms or areas with poor ventilation.
If you start to feel symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning, leave the area im-
mediately; go out into the fresh air and
SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE.
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 rap-
idly reach dangerous levels.
• Do not run engines in rooms with a
lack of ventilation or partially closed
