Never let the engine run in an enclosed area. If you do work in an enclosed area, make sure to use a smoke-extraction system. CAUTION EXHAUST EMISSIONS CONTAIN CARBON MONOXIDE, A POISONOUS GAS WHICH CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND EVEN DEATH. Fuel CAUTION FUEL USED TO POWER INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND CAN BECOME EXPLOSIVE UNDER SPECIFIC CONDITIONS. IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED TO CARRY OUT REFUELLING AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES IN A VENTILATED AREA WITH THE ENGINE SWITCHED OFF. DO NOT SMOKE DURING REFUELLING AND NEAR FUEL VA- POURS, AVOIDING ANY CONTACT WITH NAKED FLAMES, SPARKS OR OTHER SOURCES WHICH MAY CAUSE THEM TO IGNITE OR EXPLODE.

KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN Hot components The engine and the exhaust system components get very hot and remain in this condition for a certain time interval after the engine has been shut off. Before handling these components, make sure that you are wearing insulating gloves or wait until the engine and the exhaust system have cooled down. Coolant The coolant contains ethylene glycol which, under certain conditions, can become flammable. When it burns, ethylene glycol produces an invisible flame which however can cause burns. CAUTION PAY ATTENTION NOT TO POUR COOLANT ON HOT ENGINE OR EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPO- NENTS; IT MAY CATCH FIRE PRODUCING INVISIBLE FLAMES. IT IS ADVISABLE TO WEAR LATEX GLOVES WHEN SERVICING THE VEHICLE. EVEN IF IT IS TOXIC, THE COOLANT HAS A SWEET FLAVOUR WHICH MAKES IT VERY ATTRACTIVE TO ANIMALS. NEVER LEAVE THE COOLANT IN OPEN CONTAINERS IN AREAS ACCESSIBLE TO ANIMALS AS THEY MAY DRINK IT.

When repairing, dismantling and reassembling the vehicle follow the recommendations reported below carefully. BEFORE DISASSEMBLING COMPONENTS • Before dismantling components, remove dirt, mud, dust and foreign bodies from the vehicle. Use the special tools designed for this bike, as required. COMPONENTS REMOVAL • Do not loosen and/or tighten screws and nuts using pliers or other tools other than the especially designed wrench. • Mark positions on all connection joints (pipes, cables, etc.) before separating them, and identify them with distinctive symbols. • Each component needs to be clearly marked in order to be identified during assembly. • Clean and wash the removed components carefully using a low-flammability detergent. • Keep coupled parts together since they have "adjusted" to each other due to normal wear and tear. • Some components must be used together or replaced altogether. • Keep away from heat sources. REASSEMBLING COMPONENTS CAUTION BEARINGS MUST BE ABLE TO ROTATE FREELY, WITHOUT JAMMING AND/OR NOISE, OTH- ERWISE THEY NEED REPLACING. • Only use ORIGINAL APRILIA SPARE PARTS. • Comply with lubricant and consumables usage guidelines. • Lubricate parts (whenever possible) before reassembling them. • When tightening nuts and screws, start from the ones with the largest section or from the internal ones, moving diagonally. Tighten nuts and screws in successive steps before ap- plying the tightening torque. • Always replace self-locking nuts, washers, sealing rings, circlips, O-rings, split pins and screws with new ones if their tread is damaged. • When fitting bearings, make sure to lubricate them well. • Check that each component is fitted correctly. • After a repair or routine maintenance procedure, carry out pre-ride checks and test the vehicle on private grounds or in an area with low traffic density. • Clean all junction surfaces, oil guard rims and washers before refitting them. Smear a light layer of lithium-based grease on the oil guard rims. Reassemble the oil guard and the bearings with the brand or lot number facing outward (visible side). ELECTRIC CONNECTORS Electric connectors must be disconnected as described below as non-compliance with the procedure so described causes irreparable damage to both the connector and the cable harness: Characteristics SL 750 SHIVER CHAR - 4
