EBU00063
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 en-
gine will return to an idle any time the hand is re-
moved 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.
WARNING
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.

Starting a warm engine
To start a warm engine, refer to the “Starting a cold
engine” section. The starter (choke) should not be
used. The throttle should be opened slightly.
EBU00182
Warming up
To get maximum engine life, always warm up the
engine before starting off. Never accelerate hard
with a cold engine! To see whether or not the en-
gine is warm, check if it responds to the throttle
normally with the starter (choke) turned off.

Engine oil
Engine oil level measurement
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Warm up the engine for several minutes, and
then stop it.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap and wipe off
the dipstick with a clean rag. Insert the dip-
stick in the filler hole without screwing it in.NOTE:_ Wait a few minutes until the oil level settles before
checking. _4. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.
5. The oil level should be between the maxi-
mum and minimum level marks. If the engine
oil is below the minimum level mark, add the
specified amount of the specified engine oil to
raise it to the specified level.CAUTION:_ Make sure that no foreign material enters the
crankcase. _

12. Install the clamp by installing the screw.
13. Install the shift pedal by installing the bolt.
14. Warm up the engine for several minutes at
idle speed. Check for oil leakage while warm-
ing up.CAUTION:_ If oil leakage is found, stop the engine immedi-
ately and check for the cause. _

gear case.7. Install the filler bolt and tighten to specifica-
tion.
8. Check for oil leakage. If oil leakage is found,
check for the cause.
9. Reinstall the transfer gear case guard.Recommended oil: See page 10-2

8. Reinstall the element to the element guide.
9. Reinstall the element assembly and parts re-
moved for access.NOTE:The air filter element should be cleaned every 20–
40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricated more
often if the machine is operated in extremely dusty
areas. Each time filter element maintenance is
performed, check the air inlet to the filter case for
obstructions. Check the air cleaner rubber joint to
the carburetor and manifold fittings for an air-tight
seal. Tighten all fittings securely to avoid the pos-
sibility of unfiltered air entering the engine.CAUTION:
Never operate the engine with the air filter ele-
ment removed. This will allow unfiltered air to
enter, causing rapid engine wear and possible
engine damage. Additionally, operation with-
out the filter element will affect carburetor jet-
ting with subsequent poor performance and
possible engine overheating.
