PREPARATION FOR SERVICE

Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive.
Always stop the engine when refueling or servicing the
fuel system. Do not smoke or allow open flame or sparks
near the work site. Inadequate safety precautions may
result in personal injury.

Good preparation is very important for efficient service work.
A clean work area at the start of each job will allow you to
perform the repair as easily and quickly as possible, and will
reduce the incidence of misplaced tools and parts. A
motorcycle that is excessively dirty should be cleaned before
work starts. Cleaning will occasionally uncover sources of
trouble. Tools, instruments and any parts needed for the job
should be gathered before work is started. Interrupting a job
to locate tools or parts is an unnecessary distraction and
causes needless delay.
