SOME TIPS FOR HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT
The following tips shall ensure a healthy motorcycle, healthy environment, and a healthy you.
î 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.
î Regular servicing: Get your motorcycle serviced at an Authorised Hero MotoCorp
workshop, as per the service schedule, for an optimum performance and keep the emission
level under check.
î Genuine spares: Always insist on Hero MotoCorp genuine parts as spurious or incompatible
spares and accessories can upset or deteriorate your motorcycle’s running condition.
î Genuine engine oil: Hero 4T Plus SAE 10W 30 SL grade (JASO MA2) engine oil
recommended by Hero MotoCorp and make sure you change it every 6000 km (with top up
every 3000 kilometres) to keep the engine fit and environment healthy.
î Noise pollution: Noise beyond a certain decibel is pollution. Whether it is from horns or
defective mufflers, excessive noise will cause headaches and discomfort.
î Emission pollution: Get emission of your motorcycle checked by Authorised agencies atleast
once every 3 months or as notified by the government from time to time.
î 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.

 SAFETY PRECAUTION
î 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.
î Read the instruction before you begin and make
sure you have the tools and skills required.
î To help prevent the motorcycle from
falling over, park it on a firm, level surface
on the main stand.
î 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 motorcycle
best and is fully equipped to maintain and repair it.
To ensure best quality and reliability, it is
recommended to use Hero MotoCorp genuine

Further to meet emission standards this
motorcycle is provided with the air suction
valve.
Air suction valve (1) supplies fresh air from
the air filter to the exhaust manifold to convert
carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. This
reduces the CO % in the vehicles’s exhaust.

 ROAD SIGNS
Mandatory signs: These road signs inform drivers/riders of the traffic rules that apply on
a certain stretch of road, thereby instructing them on how to drive/ride. Mandatory signs
are distinguished by the bright red circle with black and blue markings. It is imperative that
all riders follow these signs as they help avoid accidents. Their violation can be penalised
under the Motor Vehicle Act.
Mandatory

Stop Give way One way No horn No biycles No automobiles

No hand craft No pedestrians No right turn No ‘U’ turn Overtaking prohibited Speed limit

No stopping or No parking Length limit High limit Restriction ends Compulsory-ahead

45
 Cautionary signs: These signs inform the driver/rider of the road conditions ahead.
Cautionary signs therefore serve as a warning. They are usually in a red triangle with black
pictures on a white background. Illustrations, diagrams and symbols are used to forewarm
about dangers ahead. Cautionary road signs are as important as mandatory signs.
However, the violation of cautionary signs does not attract penalty.
