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 reduce 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 because they vehicles are not looking for them. To make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing, position yourself so that others can see you, signal before returning 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 _e 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.

speed, close the throttle, press the clutch lever and shift to 2 ^nd gear by depressing the gearshift pedal.

- The sequence is repeated progressively to shift 3^rd and 4^th (top gear).

Recommended shifting speed 1 ^st nd 02-20 km/hr 15-30 km/hr 330 km/hr and above ^th

CAUTION

Do not shift gears without operation of clutch and without closing the throttle otherwise this would lead to damage of gears.

BRAKING

- For normal braking, close the throttle and gradually apply both front and rear brakes simultaneously while shifting down gears to suit your road speed.

- For sudden deceleration/quick stopping, close the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes simultaneously.

For Integrated braking system (IBS)

To stop the vehicle, press the rear brake peda for the application of front and rear brakes simultaneously. However, for more effective braking, it is advised to apply front and rear brake simultaneously, keeping the throttle in closed position.

WARNING

- When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or on loose surfaces, apply front brake carefully after applying rear brake to avoid wheel slip.

- Extreme braking may cause wheel locking and reduce control over the vehicle.

- Wherever possible, reduce speed or apply brake before entering a turn, closing the throttle or braking in mid turn may cause wheel slip. Wheel slip will reduce control over the vehicle.

- When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or on loose surfaces the ability to stop the vehicle reduces.

- All your actions should be smooth under these conditions. Sudden acceleration, braking or turning may cause loss of control. For your safety, exercise extreme caution when braking, accelerating or turning.

- When descending a long steep slope use engine braking (power) by changing to lower gears, with intermittent use of both brakes. Continuous brake application can overheat the brakes and reduce their effectiveness.

DRIVE CHAIN SLACKNESS

The service life of the drive chain depends upon proper lubrication and adjustment. Poor maintenance can cause premature wear or damage to the drive chain and sprockets. The drive chain (1) should be checked and lubricated as part of the pre-ride inspection

(page 19). Under severe usage, or when the vehicle is ridden in unusually dusty areas, more frequent maintenance will be necessary.

Inspection

- Turn the engine "OFF", park the vehicle on its main stand and shift the transmission to neutral. Remove hole cap (2).

- Drive chain slack (3) should be adjusted to allow approximately 30 mm vertical movement by hand.

(1) Drive chain
(2) Hole cap
(3) Drive chain slack: 30 mm

Rotate the wheel and check drive chain slack as the wheel rotates. Drive chain slack should remain constant as the wheel rotates. If the chain is slack in one section and tight in another, some links are kinked and binding. Binding can be eliminated by frequent lubrication.

- Turn the chain to view chain lock plate (4) inside the hole. Ensure that the chain lock plate open end (5) is installed in the

opposite direction of the chain rotation.

TYRES

The tyres that are fitted on your vehicle are designed to match the performance capabilities of handling, braking, durability and comfort.

To safely operate your vehicle, the tyres must be of recommended type and size, in good condition with adequate tread, and correctly inflated.

The recommended tyres size is :

Front	2.75x18-42 P
Rear	2.75x18-48 P

NOTE

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

(1) Air pressure gauge

Air pressure

Properly inflated tyres provide 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 more harshly, are more prone to damage from surface hazards and wear unevenly.

Make sure the valve stem caps are secure. If necessary, install a new cap.

The recommended "cold" tyre pressure are:

	Rider only Rider and Pillion
Front	1.75 kgf/cm ^2 (25 psi)	1.75 kgf/cm ^2 (25 psi)
Rear	2.25 kgf/cm ^2 (33 psi)	2.80 kgf/cm ^2 (41 psi)

CAUTION

Over inflation/Under inflation will affect the performance.

Inspection

Whenever you check the tyre pressure, you should also examine tyre treads & side walls for wear, damage & foreign objects:

Look for :

• 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.

Tread wear

Replace tyres immediately when the tyres get worn upto the wear indicator (1) on the tyre.

(1) Wear Indicator
(2) Arrow mark

The tread limits are :

MINIMUM TREAD DEPTH:

Front: 1.0 mm

Rear: 1.0 mm

Check the tread wear indicator for tyre wear.

Unidirectional tyres

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

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

This vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter (1) in the muffler to meet the emission norms.

This catalytic converter contains noble metals that serve as catalyst, promoting chemical reactions to convert CO and HC in the

exhaust to CO_2 and H_2O (water vapour). A defective catalytic converter contributes to air pollution and can impair your engine performance.

Follow these guidelines to protect your vehicle's catalytic converter.

• Always use unleaded petrol. Even a small amount of leaded petrol can contaminate the catalyst metals, making the catalytic converter ineffective.
- Keep the engine tuned up.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

This vehicle is equipped with an evaporative emission control system to meet emission standards. During warm weather, the petrol vapours which contain HC evaporates easily into the atmosphere from the fuel tank, if the fuel system is unsealed or open. The evaporative emission control system is used to prevent petrol vapours from escaping into the atmosphere from fuel tank. The canister (1) collects the fuel vapour from the fuel tank and then the fuel vapour is drawn into the engine for re-burning to avoid pollution caused by the fuel vapour diffused into the air.
