It contains useful information and tips that will help you repair and maintain your vehicle. This manual assumes that the necessary special KTM tools and KTM workplace and workshop equipment are available. ‘A number of safety instructions need to be followed to operate the vehicle safely. Therefore, read this manual carefully. The safety instructions are highlighted in the text and are referred to at the relevant passages. © Info The vehicle has various information and warning labels at prominent locations. Do not remove information/warning labels. If they are missing, you or others may not recognize dangers and may therefore be injured. Danger Indicates a danger that will immediately and invariably lead to fatal or serious permanent injury if the appropriate measures are not taken, Warning Indicates a danger that is likely o lead to fatal or serious injury if the appropriate measures are not taken. my c= Indicates a danger that may lead to minor injuries if the appropriate measures are not taken. Note Indicates a danger that will lead to considerable machine and material damage if the appropriate measures are not taken. Warning. Indicates a danger that will lead to environmental damage if the appropriate measures are not taken, Special tools are necessary for certain tasks. The tools are not contained in the vehicle but can be ordered under the number in paren- theses. E.g.: bearing puller (15112017000) During assembly, non-reusable parts (e.g. self-locking screws and nuts, seals and seal rings, O-rings, pins, lock washers) must be replaced by new parts. In some instances, a thread locker (e.g. Loctite®) is required. The manufacturer instructions for use must be followed. After disassembly, clean the parts that are to be reused and check them for damage and wear. Change damaged or worn parts. After you complete the repair or service work, check the operating safety of the vehicle 3 IMPORTANT NOTES 8 31 Guarantee, warranty ‘The work prescribed in the service schedule must be carried out by an authorized KTM workshop only and confirmed in the customer's Service & Warranty Booklet and in the KTM Dealer.net; otherwise, all warranty claims will be void. No warranty claims can be consid- ered for damage resulting from manipulations and/or alterations to the vehicle. Additional information on the guarantee or warranty and the procedures involved can be found jn the Service & Warranty Booklet Warning Environmental hazard Improper handling of fuel is a danger to the environment. = Do not allow fuel to get into the ground water, the ground, or the sewage system. Use the operating and auxiliary substances (such as fuel and lubricants) as specified in the manual. Only use spare parts and accessories approved andior recommended by KTM.
