VEHICLE SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Your vehicle can provide many years of service and pleasure if you take responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges you can meet on the road.

There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You will find many helpful recommendations through out this manual. Following are a few that we consider most important.

Always wear a helmet

It is a proven fact, helmet significantly reduces the number and severity of head injuries. So always wear a helmet and make sure your pillion rider does the same. We also recommend that you wear eye protection, sturdy boots, gloves and other protective gear.

Before riding your vehicle

Make sure that you are physically fit, mentally focused and free of alcohol and drugs. Check that you and your pillion are both wearing an approved vehicle helmet and protective apparel. Instruct your pillion on holding onto the grab rail or your waist, leaning with you in turns, and keeping their feet on the footrest, even when the vehicle is stopped.

Take time to learn & practice your vehicle

Even if you have ridden other vehicles, practice riding in a safe area to become familiar with how this vehicle works and handles, and to become accustomed to the vehicle's size and weight.

Ride defensively

Always pay due attention to other vehicles around you, and do not assume that other drivers see you. Be prepared to stop quickly or perform an evasive maneuver.

Make yourself easily visible

Some drivers do not see vehicles because they are not looking for them. To make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing, position yourself so that others can see you, signal before turning or changing lanes, and use horn which will help others to notice you.

Ride within your limits

Pushing the limits is another major cause of vehicle accidents. Never ride beyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions demand. Remember that fatigue and negligence can significantly reduce your ability to make good judgements and ride safely.

Do not drink and ride

Riding under the influence of alcohol or drugs is dangerous. Alcohol can reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions and reduce the reaction time. Do not drink and ride.

Keep your vehicle in safe condition

For safe riding, its important to inspect your vehicle before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits, and use accessories that have been recommended by Hero MotoCorp for this vehicle.

If you are involved in a crash

Personal safety is your first priority. If you or anyone else has been injured, take time to assess the severity of the injuries and whether it is safe to continue riding. Call for emergency assistance if needed. Also follow applicable laws and regulations if another person or vehicle is involved in the crash.

If you decide to continue riding, first evaluate the condition of your vehicle. If the engine is still running, turn it off. Inspect for fluid leaks, check the tightness of critical nuts and bolts, and check the handlebar, brake levers, brakes and wheels. Ride slowly and cautiously. Your vehicle may have suffered damage that is not immediately apparent. Have your vehicle thoroughly checked at a qualified service facility as soon as possible.

PROTECTIVE APPAREL

For your safety, we strongly recommend that I you always wear an approved helmet (ISI marked), eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants and a long sleeve shirt or jacket whenever you ride. Take care of loose/ hanging clothes while solo/pillion riding. Although complete protection is not possible, wearing proper gear can reduce the chance of injury when you ride.

Following are suggestions to help you choose proper riding gear.

WARNING

• Not wearing a helmet increases the chance of serious injury or death in a crash.
• Be sure you and your pillion always wear a helmet, eye protection and other protective apparel when you ride.

Helmets and eye protection

Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it offers the best protection against head injuries. A helmet should fit your head comfortably and securely. A bright coloured helmet can make you more noticeable in traffic, as can reflective strips.

An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet offers more. Always wear face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.

Additional riding gear

In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:

• Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help protect your feet and ankles.
• Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and help prevent blisters, cuts, burns, and bruises.
  A two wheeler riding suit or jacket for comfort as well as protection. Bright coloured reflective clothing can help make you more noticeable in traffic. Be sure to avoid loose clothes that could get caught on any part of your vehicle.

SAFE RIDING TIPS

Do's:

• Always conduct simple pre-ride inspection (page 29).

• Always wear a helmet (ISI marked) with chin strap securely fastened and insist on a helmet for your pillion rider.

- While riding, sit in a comfortable position with your legs close to fuel tank.

- Ride defensively and at a steady speed (between 40-50 km/hr).

• To stop the vehicle (in IBS), press the rear brake pedal for the application of front and rear brakes simultaneously. However, for more effective braking, use both brakes simultaneously, keeping throttle in the closed position.

- Respect road signs and obey traffic rules for your own safety and that of others on the road (page 70).

- During night time, dip headlamps of your vehicle for oncoming traffic, or when following another vehicle.

- Give way to others on the road and signal before you make a turn.

• To make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing that fits well.

- Tightly wrap loose/hanging clothes & avoid entangling with moving parts.

• Get your vehicle serviced regularly by the Authorised workshop.Hero MotoCorp

- Before riding make sure in which mode you are riding whether with i3s switch "ON" or "OFF".

Don't

- Never use cell phone while riding the ^th vehicle.

- Avoid sudden acceleration, braking and turning of your vehicle.

- Never shift gears without disengaging the clutch and closing the throttle.

- Never touch any part of the hot exhaust system like muffler.

- Never ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Concentrate on the road and avoid talking to the pillion rider or others on the road.

- Do not litter the road.

- Do not cross the continuous white/yellow line in the center of the road, while overtaking.

- Do not attach large or heavy items to the handlebars, front forks, or fenders.

- Never take your hands off the steering handle while riding.

TUBELESS TYRES

The tyres fitted on your vehicle are of TUBELESS type.

To safely operate your vehicle, your tyres must be of the proper type and size, in good condition with adequate tread, and correctly inflated for the load you are carrying.

The following pages give more detailed information on how and when to check the air pressure, how to inspect your tyres for damage, and what to do when your tyres need to be repaired or replaced.

Front	80/100-18 47P (Tubeless tyre)
Rear	80/100-18 54P (Tubeless tyre)

!! WARNING

• Using tyres that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
- Follow all instructions in this owner's manual regarding tyres inflation and maintenance.

Air pressure

Keeping your tyres properly inflated provides the best combination of handling, tread life and riding comfort.

Generally, under-inflated tyres wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and are more likely to fail from being overheated.

Under inflated tyres can also cause wheel damage in rocky terrain.

Over-inflated tyres make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to damage from road hazards, and wear unevenly.

We recommend that you visually check your tyres before every ride and use a gauge to measure air pressure at least once a month or any time you think the tyres pressure might be low. Tubeless tyres have some self-sealing ability if they are punctured. However, because leakage is often very slow, you should look closely for punctures whenever a tyre is not fully inflated.

Always check air pressure when your tyres are Inspection

"cold"-when the vehicle has been parked for Whenever you check the tyre pressure, you at least three hours. If you check air pressure should also examine tyre treads & side walls when your tyres are "warm"-when the vehiclefor wear, damage & foreign objects. has been ridden for even a few km-the Look for:

readings will be higher than if the tyres were "cold". This is normal, so do not let air out of the tyres to match the recommended cold air pressures given below. If you do, the tyres will be under-inflated.

- Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre or the tread. Replace the tyre if you find any bumps or bulges. - Cuts, splits or cracks in the tyre. Replace the tyre if you can see fabric or cord.

The recommended "cold" tyre pressures are:

	Rider only Rider and Pillion
Front	1.75 kgf/cm ^2 (25 psi)	1.75 kgf/cm ^2 (25 psi)
Rear	2.00 kgf/cm ^2 (28 psi)	2.80 kgf/cm ^2 (41 psi)

!! CAUTION

Over inflation/Under inflation will affect the performance.

Unidirectional tyres

Whenever the tyre is removed and put back in case of puncture, ensure the arrow mark (2) on the tyre is in the same direction as that of forward rotation of wheel.

Tyre repair

Repairing a puncture or removing a wheel requires special tools and technical expertise. If a tyre is punctured or damaged, it is advised to visit nearest tyre manufacture, Hero MotoCorp authorised dealer/workshop or the tyre repair shop who has expertise in repairing methods of tubeless tyre.

A tyre that is repaired either temporarily or permanently, will have lower speed and performance limits than a new tyre. After an emergency repair, always have the tyre inspected/replaced at our authorised dealer and replace the tyre if suggested.

You should not exceed 70 km/hour for the 1st 24 hours or 105 km/hour at any time thereafter. In addition, you may not be able to safely carry as much load as with a new tyre. If you decide to have a tyre replace be sure the wheel is balanced before you ride.

Tyre replacement

The tyres that were installed on your vehicle were designed to match the performance capabilities of your vehicle and provide the best combination of handling, braking, durability and comfort.

WARNING

• Operation with excessively worn tyres is hazardous and will adversely affect traction and handling.
- Under-inflation may result in the tyre slipping on or tyre coming off the rim.
• Always use the size and type of tyres recommended in this owner's manual.

NOTE

The imported tyre(s) if fitted without ISI mark; are in compliance of BIS standard and Central Motor Vehicle Rules 1989, as declared by the Tyre manufacturer.

NOTE

For repair and replacement of tyre it is advised to visit your Authorised Hero MotoCorp workshop.

Important safety reminders

- Do not install a tube inside a tubeless tyre of this vehicle. Excessive heat buildup can cause the tube to burst. - Use only tubeless tyres on this vehicle. The rims are designed for tubeless tyres, and during hard acceleration or braking, a tube-type tyre could slip on the rim and cause the tyre to rapidly deflate.
