SOME TIPS FOR HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT

6

îHealthy engine: The engine is the lifeline of every vehicle. To keep it healthy, it should be

tuned regularly, which will also help reduce pollution and improve vehicle performance &

fuel efficiency.

îFuel Saving & Reduce Pollution: Switch "OFF" the engine while waiting at traffic signal

points to save fuel and reduce pollution, if the waiting period is long.

îGenuine Spares: Always insist on Hero MotoCorp genuine parts as spurious or

incompatible spares and accessories can upset or deteriorate your motorcycle’s running

condition.

îGenuine engine oil: Hero 4T Plus SAE 10W 30 SL grade (JASO MA2) engine oil

recommended by Hero MotoCorp and make sure you change it every 6000 km. (with

top up every 3000 kilometres) to keep the engine fit and environment healthy.

îNoise pollution: Noise beyond a certain decibel is pollution. Whether it is from horns or defective

mufflers, excessive noise will cause headaches and discomfort.

îEmission Pollution: Get emission of your motorcycle checked by Authorised agencies

atleast once every 3 months or as notified by the government from time to time.

îRegular Servicing: Get your motorcycle serviced at an Authorised Hero MotoCorp

workshop, as per the service schedule, for an optimum performance and keep the emission

level under check.
