TIPS FOR HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT
The following tips shall ensure a healthy vehicle, healthy environment, and a healthy you.
• Healthy engine: The engine is the lifeline of every vehicle. To keep it healthy, it should be
tuned regularly, which will also help reduce pollution and improve vehicle performance &
fuel efficiency.
• Regular servicing: Get your vehicle serviced at an Authorised Hero MotoCorp
workshop, as per the service schedule, for an optimum performance and keep the emission
level under check.
• Genuine spares: Always insist on Hero MotoCorp genuine parts as spurious or
incompatible spares and accessories can upset or deteriorate your vehicle’s running
condition.
• Genuine engine oil: Hero 4T Plus SAE 10W 30 SL grade (JASO MA2) or Hero 4T
Plus SAE 5W 30 SN grade (JASO MA2) engine oil recommended by Hero MotoCorp and
make sure you change it every 6000 km. (Top up if the oil level is at or near the lower level
mark) to keep the engine fit and environment healthy.
(Do not mix “SAE 10W 30 SL grade and SAE 5W 30 SN grade” engine oil during oil
change or top up).
• Noise pollution: Noise beyond a certain decibel is pollution. Whether it is from horns or
defective mufflers, excessive noise will cause headaches and discomfort.
• Emission pollution: Get emission of your vehicle checked by Authorised agencies atleast
once every 3 months or as notified by the government from time to time.
• Fuel saving & Reduce pollution: Switch "OFF" the engine while waiting at traffic signal
points to save fuel and reduce pollution, if the waiting period is long.
• BS-VI grade fuel: Always use BS-VI grade fuel to adhere BS-VI norms.

 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Make sure the engine is “OFF” before you begin any maintenance or repair. This will help
to eliminate several potential hazards:
• Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you operate the engine.
• Burns from hot parts.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
• Injury from moving parts.
Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.
• Read the instruction before you begin and make sure you have the tools and skills required.
• To help prevent the vehicle from falling over, park it on a firm, level surface on the main
stand.
• To reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion, be careful when working around petrol or
batteries. Use only nonflammable solvent, not petrol, to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks
and flames away from the battery and all fuel-related parts.
Remember that your Authorised Hero MotoCorp workshop knows your vehicle best and is
fully equipped to maintain and repair it.
To ensure best quality and reliability, it is recommended to use Hero MotoCorp genuine parts
for repair and replacement.

Note-2 : Replace air cleaner element once in every 18000 km or early replacement may be required when riding
in dusty areas.
Note-3 : Customer can visit Authorised Hero MotoCorp workshop in case tappet noise observed before 6000
km.
Note-4 : Replace engine oil at 1st service and then every 6000 km. Top up if the oil level is at or near the lower
level mark.
Note-5 : Visit Authorised Hero MotoCorp workshop for inspection, cleaning, lubrication and adjustment of drive
chain at every 2000 km.
Note-6 : Frequent lubrication of chain is recommended for better life of chain-when running dry or running in very
sever dusty & wet/rainy condition.
Note-7 : More frequent cleaning and lubrication is needed when running in an unusually dusty and wet
environment or rainy condition.
Note-8 : Inspect & maintain specified torque.
Note-9 : Inspect the bearings free play, replace if necessary.
Note-10 : Replace front fork oil once in a every 2 years or 30000 km, whichever is earlier.
Note-11 : Inspect for any play in the mounting bushes, replace if necessary.
Note-12 : Check CO emission at idle.
Note-13 : Inspect the canister hoses for deterioration, damage or loose connections and canister for cracks or other
damages.
Note
