U1GBE0E0.book Page 1 Wednesday, June 26, 2013 4:04 PM SAFETY INFORMATION EAUT1019 1 Be a Responsible Owner As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible for the safe and proper operation of your scooter. Scooters are single-track vehicles. Their safe use and operation are dependent upon the use of proper riding techniques as well as the expertise of the operator. Every operator should know the following requirements before riding this scooter.
U1GBE0E0.book Page 2 Wednesday, June 26, 2013 4:04 PM SAFETY INFORMATION Many accidents involve inexperienced operators. In fact, many operators who have been involved in accidents do not even have a current driver’s license. • Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your scooter to other qualified operators. • Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident.
U1GBE0E0.book Page 3 Wednesday, June 26, 2013 4:04 PM SAFETY INFORMATION 1 Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion, and eventually death. Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas which may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust.
U1GBE0E0.book Page 4 Wednesday, June 26, 2013 4:04 PM SAFETY INFORMATION Genuine Yamaha Accessories Choosing accessories for your vehicle is an important decision.
