Always keep both hands, arms, feet, and legs
inside the vehicle at all times during operation.
Keep your feet on the floorboard. Never hold
onto the enclosure except when using the
handgrip inside the enclosure. Otherwise, your
hand could be injured if it is caught between the
enclosure and an obstacle outside the vehicle.


Always keep both hands on the steering wheel
when driving.


Never wrap your thumbs and fingers around
the steering wheel. This is particularly impor-
tant when driving in rough terrain. The front
wheels will move right and left as they respond
to the terrain, and this movement will be felt in
the steering wheel. A sudden jolt could wrench
the steering wheel around, and your thumbs or
fingers could be injured if they are in the way of
the steering wheel spokes.


Always go slowly and be extra careful when op-
erating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert to
changing terrain conditions when driving the
vehicle.

NOTE:_

When the switch is set to “LOCK”, the differ-
ential gear lock indicator and indicator light
will flash until the differential gear is locked.


When the indicator and indicator light are
flashing, turning the steering wheel back and
forth will help the differential gear lock to en-
gage.


Riding before the differential gear lock is
properly engaged (e.g., when the indicator
and indicator light are flashing) will cause the
engine speed to be limited until engagement
is complete.

Steering
Park on level ground. Turn the steering wheel right
and left. Check for excessive free play, abnormal
noises, or a rough feeling. Have a Yamaha dealer
repair as necessary for proper operation.
EVU00470
Fittings and fasteners
Always check the tightness of chassis fittings and
fasteners before a ride. Take the vehicle to a
Yamaha dealer or refer to the Service Manual for
correct tightening torque.

Do not mount an accessory where it could in-
terfere with your ability to control the vehicle.
Examples include (but are not limited to) an ob-
ject that limits your ability to turn the steering
wheel or one that limits your view.


Use extra caution when driving a vehicle with
accessories. The vehicle may handle different-
ly than it does without accessories.

CAUTION:_ Do not shift from low to high or vice versa with-
out coming to a complete stop and waiting for
the engine to return to normal idle speed. Dam-
age to the engine or drive train may occur. _TURNING YOUR VEHICLE
The vehicle is easier to steer in two-wheel drive
(2WD) than four-wheel drive (4WD). Steering
takes the most effort in 4WD with the differential
locked (DIFF. LOCK).
It is possible for the vehicle to roll over or go out of
control if you attempt sharp, high-speed turns. You
should also be careful making sharp turns on
rough terrain. Do not attempt to turn around or
make abrupt maneuvers on slopes.
EE.book Page 13 Friday, August 4, 2006 12:02 PM

7-15
Position your hands on the steering wheel so that
your thumbs and fingers do not wrap around the
wheel. This is particularly important when driving
in rough terrain. The front wheels will move right
and left as they respond to the terrain, and this
movement will be felt in the steering wheel. A sud-
den jolt could wrench the steering wheel around,
and your thumbs or fingers could be injured if they
are in the way of the steering wheel spokes.
BRAKING
Braking ability is affected by the type of terrain. In
most cases, gradually application of the brakes is
more effective than abrupt braking, particularly on
loose surfaces like gravel. Always allow for greater
braking distance on rough, loose, or slippery sur-
faces.
