Take care not to spill any gasoline on

when refueling.
If gasoline is swallowed, inhaled or
allowed to get into the eyes, seek
immediate medical attention.
Spillage on the skin should be
immediately washed off with soap and
water and clothing contaminated with
gasoline should immediately be
removed.
Burns and other serious skin
conditions may result from contact
with gasoline.

Helmet and Clothing When choosing a helmet, always look for

a DOT (Department of Transport) sticker
indicating that the helmet has DOT
Warning approval. Do not buy a helmet without
DOT approval.
When riding the motorcycle, both rider
and passenger must always wear a
motorcycle helmet, eye protection,
gloves, boots, trousers (close fitting
around the knee and ankle) and a
brightly colored jacket. Brightly
colored clothing will considerably
increase a rider's (or passenger's)
visibility to other operators of road
vehicles. Although full protection is
not possible, wearing correct
protective clothing can reduce the risk
of injury when riding.
Warning
A helmet is one of the most important
pieces of riding gear as it offers
protection against head injuries. You
and your passenger's helmet should
be carefully chosen and should fit you
or your passenger's head comfortably
and securely. A brightly colored
helmet will increase a rider's (or
passenger's) visibility to other
operators of road vehicles.
An open face helmet offers some
protection in an accident though a full
face helmet will offer more.
Always wear a visor or approved
goggles to help vision and to protect
your eyes.
