SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION RULES:
Before installing your new S&S part it is your responsibility to read and
follow the installation and maintenance procedures in these
instructions and follow the basic rules below for your personal safety.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain
conditions and toxic when inhaled. Do not smoke. Perform installation
in a well ventilated area away from open flames or sparks.
If motorcycle has been running, wait until engine and exhaust pipes
have cooled down to avoid getting burned before performing any
installation steps.
Before performing any installation steps disconnect battery to
eliminate potential sparks and inadvertent engagement of starter while
working on electrical components.
Read instructions thoroughly and carefully so all procedures are
completely understood before performing any installation steps.
Contact S&S with any questions you may have if any steps are unclear
or any abnormalities occur during installation or operation of
motorcycle with a S&S part on it.
Consult an appropriate service manual for your motorcycle for correct
disassembly and reassembly procedures for any parts that need to be
removed to facilitate installation.
Use good judgment when performing installation and operating
motorcycle. Good judgment begins with a clear head. Don't let
alcohol, drugs or fatigue impair your judgment. Start installation when
you are fresh.
Be sure all federal, state and local laws are obeyed with the
installation.
For optimum performance and safety and to minimize potential
damage to carb or other components, use all mounting hardware that
is provided and follow all installation instructions.
Motorcycle exhaust fumes are toxic and poisonous and must not
be inhaled. Run motorcycle in a well ventilated area where fumes
can dissipate.
DISCLAIMER:
S&S parts are designed for high performance, closed course, racing
applications and are intended for the very experienced rider only. The
installation of S&S parts may void or adversely effect your factory
warranty. In addition such installation and use may violate certain
federal, state, and local laws, rules and ordinances as well as other laws
when used on motor vehicles used on public highways, especially in
states where pollution laws may apply. Always check federal, state, and
local laws before modifying your motorcycle. It is the sole and exclusive
responsibility of the user to determine the suitability of the product for
his or her use, and the user shall assume all legal, personal injury risk and
liability and all other obligations, duties, and risks associated therewith.
