Protective clothing
Warning
Risk of injury
Missing or poor protective clothing presents an increased safety risk.
–
Ensure your child wears appropriate protective clothing such as helmet, boots, gloves as well as
trousers and a jacket with protectors on all rides.
–
Alway use protective clothing for your child that is in good condition and meets the legal require-
ments.
–
When you ride a motorcycle, set an example for your child and wear suitable protective clothing.
In the interest of your own safety, KTM recommends that you only operate the vehicle while wearing suitable pro-
tective clothing.
2.8
Work rules
Unless specified otherwise, the ignition must be turned off during all work (models with ignition lock, models
with remote key) or the engine must be at a standstill (models without ignition lock or remote key).
Special tools are necessary for certain tasks. The tools are not a component of the vehicle, but can be ordered
using the number in parentheses. Example: bearing puller (15112017000)
During assembly, use new parts to replace parts which cannot be reused (e.g. self-locking screws and nuts,
expansion screws, seals, sealing rings, O-rings, pins, and lock washers).
In the case of certain screws, a screw adhesive (e.g.
Loctite
®
) is required. Observe the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
If thread locker (e.g.,
Precote
®
) has already been applied to a new part, do not apply any additional thread locker.
After disassembly, clean the parts that are to be reused and check them for damage and wear. Change damaged
or worn parts.
After completing a repair or service work, check the operating safety of the vehicle.
2.9
Environment
If you use your motorcycle responsibly, you can ensure that problems and conflicts do not occur. To protect the
future of the motorcycle sport, make sure that you use your motorcycle legally, display environmental conscious-
ness, and respect the rights of others.
When disposing of used oil, other operating and auxiliary fluids, and used components, comply with the laws and
regulations of the respective country.
Because motorcycles are not subject to the EU regulations governing the disposal of used vehicles, there are no
legal regulations that pertain to the disposal of an end-of-life motorcycle. Your authorized KTM dealer will be glad
to advise you.
2.10
Owner's Manual
It is important that you read this Owner's Manual carefully and completely before your child makes his or her first
trip. The Owner's Manual contains useful information and many tips for you and your child on how to operate,
handle, and service your motorcycle. This is the only way for you to find out how to ideally tune the vehicle and
how to protect your child from injury.
Keep the Owner's Manual in an accessible place to enable you to refer to it as needed.
If you would like to know more about the vehicle or have questions on the material you read, please contact an
authorized KTM dealer.
The Owner's Manual is an important component of the vehicle and must be handed over to the new owner if the
vehicle is sold.
