SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION RULES:
Before installing any S&S engine part, it is your responsibility
to read and follow all instructions. The rules below are for
your personal safety, and must be kept in mind at all times.
● Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions, and toxic when inhaled. Do not smoke
around gasoline. Perform the installation in a well-ventilated
area away from sparks or open flame.
● After installation, be sure all fuel lines are routed correctly
with clamps in place and tightened securely. Even with
protective cover, gas lines must not contact extremely hot
surfaces where they could melt or leak and catch fire.
● Compressed air and particles dislodged by
compressed air are potentially harmful. Wear protective
goggles when using compressed air and always direct
the air stream away from yourself and others nearby.
● Some solvents, degreasers and other chemicals are
harmful, especially to skin and eyes. Many chemical
compounds such as lacquer thinner are also flammable and
present a fire hazard. Read the manufacturer’s instruction
label for precautions and proper use. Use in a well ventilated
area and wear protective clothing to avoid personal injury.
● If the motorcycle has been running, wait until the engine
and exhaust pipes have cooled before performing any
mechanical work.
● Before beginning the installation, disconnect and remove
the battery to eliminate potential sparks and possible
inadvertent engagement of the electric starter while working
on the motorcycle.
● Read instructions thoroughly and carefully so all
procedures are completely understood before beginning
installation. Contact S&S if you have questions, if any steps
are unclear, or if any abnormalities occur during final
assembly, installation, or operation.
● Consult an authorized H-D service manual for correct
disassembly, reassembly, and installation procedures for any
parts that need to be removed or disassembled to facilitate
the installation.
● Use good judgment during assembly, installation, and
when operating the motorcycle. Good judgment begins with
a clear head. Don’t let alcohol, drugs, or fatigue impair
judgment. Perform installation when fresh and alert.
● For optimum performance and safety and to minimize
potential damage to the cylinder heads or other components,
use correct hardware and follow procedures outlined in S&S
instructions and authorized H-D service manual.
● Motorcycle exhaust fumes are toxic and must not be
inhaled. Run motorcycle only in a well ventilated area where
fumes can dissipate.
WARRANTY:
All S&S parts are guaranteed to the original purchaser to be
free of manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship
for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of purchase.
Merchandise that fails to conform to these conditions will be
repaired or replaced at S&S’s option if the parts are returned
to S&S by the purchaser within the 12 month warranty period
or within 10 days thereafter.
In the event warranty service is required, the original
purchaser must notify S&S of the problem immediately.
Some problems can be rectified by a telephone call and need
no further action. A part that is suspected of being defective
must not be replaced without prior authorization from S&S. If
it is deemed necessary for S&S to make an evaluation to
determine whether the part was defective, it must be
packaged properly to avoid further damage, and be returned
prepaid to S&S with a copy of the original invoice of purchase
and a detailed letter outlining the nature of the problem, how
the part was used, and the circumstances at the time of
failure. If after an evaluation was made by S&S and the part
was found to be defective, repair, replacement, or refund will
be granted.
ADDITIONAL WARRANTY PROVISIONS:
(1) No part shall be returned to S&S without first contacting
the company and obtaining a Return Authorization (RA)
number.
(2) S&S shall have no obligation in the event an S&S part is
modified by any other person or organization, or if another
manufacturer’s part is substituted for one provided by S&S.
(3) S&S shall have no obligation if an S&S part becomes
defective in whole or in part as a result of improper
installation, improper break-in or maintenance, improper use,
abnormal operation, or any other misuse or mistreatment.
(4) S&S shall not be liable for any consequential or incidental
damages resulting from the failure of an S&S part, the breech
of any warranties, the failure to deliver, delay in delivery,
delivery in non-conforming condition, or for any other breach
of contract or duty between S&S and a customer.
(5) S&S parts are designed exclusively for use on
