GENE RA L PR ECAU TIONS

Avoid C arbon Monoxide

All engine ex ha us t c onta ins carbon

gine exhaus t. Deadly levels of carbon

monoxide ca n collect ra pidl y, and you

can quick ly be overcom e and unable

to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of

carbon monoxide can linger for hours

or da y s i n enclosed or poorly venti lat ed

areas. If you e xp erience any sy m p-

toms of carb on monox ide poisoning,

leave the a rea immediately, get fresh

air and s eek medical tre atment.

To prev ent s erious injury or death from

carbon monoxide:

– Never run the vehicle in poorl y ven-

tilated or partially enclosed areas

such as garages, carports or barns.

Even if yo u try to ventilate engine

exhaus t with fans or open w indows

and doors , carbo n monoxide ca n

rapidly reach dange rous leve ls.

– Never run the v ehicle o utdoors

where engine exhaus t ca n be drawn

into a building through openings

such as windows a nd doors .

Avoid Gasoline Fires and

O the r Ha z ards

Gasoline i s e xtremely fl ammable and

highly ex plosive. Fuel vapors can

spread and be ignited by a spark or

flame many feet away from the en-

gine. To reduce the risk of fire or explo-

sion, follow these instructions:

– Use o nly an approved gasoline con-

tainer to sto re fuel.

– Strictly adhere t o instructions in

FUEL

subsec tion.

– Never sta rt or operate the engine if

the fuel ca p is not properly in stalled.

Gasoline is p oisonous a nd can c a us e

injury or death.

– Never siphon ga so line by mouth.

– If you swa llow gasoline, get a ny in

your eye(s), or inh ale gas oli ne va por,

see your doctor immediately.

If gasol ine spills on you , wash w ith

soap and water and change your

clothes.

Avoid Burns from H ot P arts

Certain c om ponents become hot dur-

ing operation. Avoid contact with

those parts during and shortly a fter

operation to avoid burns.

Accessories and

Modific ati ons

Do not m ak e unautho rized modifica-

tions, or use attachments or a cces-

sories that are not approved by BR P.

Since these changes ha v e n ot be en

tested by BRP, th ey m ay increase the

risk of cra s hes o r i njury, a nd can render

the vehicle illegal.

See your authorized Can- Am dealer f or
