Safety Precautions Selecting and Installing Accessories (continued) S Do not install electrical accessories that exceed the capacity of the motorcycle's electrical system. An electrical failure could result and cause hazardous loss of engine power or lights, or damage to the electrical system. S If you want to add a windshield, backrest, or luggage rack, choose one designed and approved by Victory specifically for your model, and follow the instructions for proper installation and use. An improperly designed or installed windshield, backrest, or luggage rack can reduce stability, causing you to lose control of the motorcycle. Gasoline and Exhaust Gases For complete fueling procedures, see "Fueling and Fill Height" page 59. Gasoline is highly flammable and can be explosive in certain conditions. Observe the following precautions when you refuel or service the fuel system: S S S S Turn off the engine. Use a well-ventilated area. Remove the fuel cap slowly. Do not spill gasoline on the engine or the exhaust system. Immediately wipe, or rinse with water, gasoline spilled on any part of the motorcycle or the surrounding area. S Do not smoke while fueling. S Do not fuel in an area where there are sparks or open flame. 16
