Coolant temperature warning light “ ”
When the coolant temperature reaches a specified
level, this light comes on to warn that the coolant
temperature is too hot. If the light comes on during
operation, stop the engine as soon as it is safe to
do so and allow the engine to cool down for about
10 minutes.CAUTION:_

The engine may overheat if the ATV is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the
load to specification.


After restarting, make sure that the light is
out. Continuous use while the light is on
may cause damage to the engine.

Starting a cold engine
WARNING
_ Always make sure all control cables work
smoothly before you begin riding in cold
weather. If the control cables are frozen or do
not work smoothly, you could be unable to
control the ATV, which could lead to an acci-
dent or collision. _1. Apply the rear brake lever.
2. Turn the fuel cock to “ON”.
3. Turn the main switch to “ON” and the engine
stop switch to “”.
4. Shift the drive select lever into the neutral or
park position.

Shifting: Neutral to Reverse and Reverse to
ParkNOTE:_ The drive select lever cannot be shifted into or
from reverse or park without applying the rear
brake. _1. Bring the ATV to a complete stop and return
the throttle lever to the closed position.
2. Apply the brake pedal.
3. Shift from neutral to reverse or from reverse
to park and vice versa by moving the drive
select lever along the shift guide.NOTE:_

When in reverse, the reverse indicator light
should be on. If the light does not come on,
ask a Yamaha dealer to inspect the electrical
circuit.


Due to the synchronizing mechanism in the
engine, the light may not come on until the
ATV starts moving.

With the engine idling, shift the drive select lever to
the low position “L” or the high position “H”. Apply
the throttle slowly and smoothly. The centrifugal
clutch will engage and you will start to accelerate.
If the throttle is applied too abruptly, the front
wheels may lift off the ground resulting in a loss of
directional control. Avoid higher speeds until you
are thoroughly familiar with the operation of your
ATV.
When slowing down or stopping, release the throt-
tle and apply the brakes smoothly and evenly. Im-
proper use of the brakes can cause the tires to
lose traction, reducing control and increasing the
possibility of an accident.CAUTION:_ Do not shift from drive position low “L” to high
“H” or vice versa without coming to a com-
plete stop. Damage to the engine or drive train
may occur. _

If your ATV has stalled or stopped and you believe
you can continue up the hill, restart carefully to
make sure you do not lift the front wheels which
could cause you to lose control. If you are unable
to continue up the hill, dismount the ATV on the
uphill side. Physically turn the ATV around and
then descend the hill.
If you start to roll backwards, DO NOT apply either
brake abruptly. If you are in 2WD, apply only the
front brake. When this ATV is in 4WD or 4WD-
LOCK, all wheels (front and rear) are interconnect-
ed by the drive train. This means that applying ei-
ther the front brake or the rear brake will brake all
wheels. When descending hills, using either brake
lever or the brake pedal will brake the wheels on
the downhill side. Avoid sudden application of ei-
ther the front or rear brake because the wheels on
the uphill side could come off the ground. The ATV
could easily tip over backwards. Apply both the
front and rear brakes gradually, or dismount the
ATV immediately on the uphill side.

WHAT TO DO IF ...
This section is designed to be a reference guide
only. Be sure to read each section on riding tech-
niques completely.
WHAT TO DO ...

If your ATV doesn’t turn when you want it to:
Bring the ATV to a stop and practice the turning
maneuvers again. Be sure you are putting your
weight on the footboard to the outside of the
turn. Position your weight over the front wheels
for better control. (See pages 7-39–7-43.)


If your ATV begins to tip while turning:
Lean more into the turn to regain balance. If
necessary, gradually let off the throttle and/or
steer to the outside of the turn. (See pages
7-39–7-43.)


If your ATV starts to slide sideways:
Steer in the direction of the slide if you have the
room. Applying the brakes or accelerating is
not recommended until you have corrected the
slide. (See pages 7-71–7-73.)

If your ATV can’t make it up a hill you are trying
to climb:
Turn the ATV around if you still have forward
speed. If not, stop, dismount on the uphill side
of the ATV and physically turn the ATV around.
If the ATV starts to slip backwards DO NOT
USE THE REAR BRAKE - the ATV may tip
over on top of you. Dismount the ATV on the
uphill side. (See pages 7-45–7-53.)


If your ATV is traversing a sloping surface:
Be sure to ride with your weight positioned to-
wards the uphill side of the ATV to maintain
proper balance. If the ATV starts to tip, steer
down the hill (if there are no obstacles in your
way) to regain balance. If you discover that the
ATV is going to tip over, dismount on the uphill
side. (See pages 7-59–7-61.)

CAUTION:_ Hard water or salt water is harmful to the en-
gine. You may use soft water if you cannot get
distilled water. _14. Start the engine and let it idle for several min-
utes. Stop the engine, and then check the
coolant level in the radiator. If it is low, add
more coolant until it reaches the top of the ra-
diator.
15. Check for coolant leakage.NOTE:_ If any leakage is found, ask a Yamaha dealer to in-
spect the cooling system. _16. Install the panels and the front carrier.
