AN ATV IS NOT A TOY AND CAN BE HAZ-
ARDOUS TO OPERATE.
An ATV handles differently from other vehicles
including motorcycles and cars. A collision or
rollover can occur quickly, even during routine
maneuvers such as turning and riding on hills or
over obstacles, if you fail to take proper precau-
tions.
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you
do not follow these instructions:
8Read this manual and all labels carefully and
follow the operating procedures described.
8Never operate an ATV without proper instruc-
tion.
8Always follow the age recommendation:
– A child under 16 years old should never
operate an ATV with engine size greater
than 90cc.

8Never modify an ATV through improper instal-
lation or use of accessories.
8Never exceed the stated load capacity for an
ATV. Cargo should be properly distributed and
securely attached. Reduce speed and follow
instructions in this manual for carrying cargo
or pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for
braking.
w
8Always turn off the engine when refueling.
8Do not refuel right after the engine has
been running and is still very hot.
8Do not spill gasoline on the engine or
exhaust pipe/muffler when refueling. Never
refuel while smoking, or while in the vicini-
ty of sparks, open flames, or other sources
of ignition such as the pilot lights of water
heaters and clothes dryers. Gasoline can
catch fire. You could be burned.

8When transporting the machine in another
vehicle, be sure it is kept upright and that
the fuel cock is in the “OFF” position.
Otherwise, fuel may leak out of the carbu-
retor or fuel tank.
8Gasoline is poisonous. If you should swal-
low some gasoline or inhale a lot of gaso-
line vapor, or get some gasoline in your
eyes, see your doctor immediately. If gaso-
line spills on your skin, wash with soap
and water. If gasoline spills on your cloth-
ing, change your clothes.
w
Always operate your machine in an area with
adequate ventilation. Never start or run the
engine in a closed area. Exhaust fumes are
poisonous and may cause loss of conscious-
ness and death within a short time.

Throttle lever
Once the engine is running, movement of the
throttle lever will increase the engine speed.
Regulate the speed of the machine by varying
the throttle position. Because the throttle is
spring-loaded, the machine will decelerate, and
the engine will return to an idle any time the hand
is removed from the throttle lever.
Before starting the engine, check the throttle to
be sure it is operating smoothly. Make sure it
returns to the idle position as soon as the lever is
released.
w
Malfunction of the throttle could make it diffi-
cult to speed up or slow down when you
need to. This could cause an accident. Check
the operation of the throttle lever before you
start the engine. If the throttle does not work
smoothly, check for the cause. Correct the
problem before riding the ATV or consult a
Yamaha dealer.

Throttle OverRide System
If during operation, the carburetor or the throttle
cable should malfunction and will not close fully,
take your thumb off the throttle lever.
The throttle override system immediately cuts off
the ignition.
w
Riding with a malfunction increases the
chance for an accident and injury. Make sure
that the cause of the malfunction is corrected
before restarting the engine or have the ATV
inspected by a Yamaha dealer.

Speed limiter
The speed limiter keeps the throttle from fully
opening, even when the throttle lever is pushed
to the maximum. Screwing in the adjuster limits
the maximum engine power available and
decreases the maximum speed of the ATV.
w
Improper adjustment of the speed limiter and
throttle could cause throttle cable damage or
improper throttle operation. You could lose
control, have an accident or be injured. Do
not turn the speed adjuster out more than 12
mm or the throttle cable could be damaged.
Always make sure the throttle lever free play
is adjusted to 4–6 mm. See page 8-71.
