Always wear proper eye protection when using hammers, arbor or hydraulic presses, gear pullers, spring com- pressors, slide hammers and similar tools. Flying parts could result in death or serious injury. (00496b) Some of these service operations require the use of tools specially designed for the purpose.These special tools should be used when and as recommended. It is important to note that some warnings against the use of specific service methods, which could damage the motorcycle or render it unsafe, are stated in this manual. However, please remember that these warnings are not all-inclusive. Inadequate safety precautions could result in death or serious injury. Since Buell Motorcycle Company could not possibly know, evaluate or advise the service trade of all possible ways in which service might be performed, or of the possible hazardous consequences of each method, we have not undertaken any such broad evaluation. Accordingly, anyone who uses a service procedure or tool which is not recommended by Buell Motor- cycle Company must first thoroughly satisfy himself that neither his nor the operator’s safety will be jeopardized as a result. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury. PRODUCT REFERENCES Read and follow warnings and directions on all products. Failure to follow warnings and directions can result in death or serious injury. (00470b) When reference is made in this manual to a specific brand name product, tool or instrument, an equivalent product, tool or instrument may be substituted.
