8Never attempt to operate over large obsta-
cles, such as large rocks or fallen trees.
Always follow proper procedures when oper-
ating over obstacles as described in this man-
ual.
8Always be careful when skidding or sliding.
Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by
practicing at low speeds and on level, smooth
terrain. On extremely slippery surfaces, such
as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in
order to reduce the chance of skidding or slid-
ing out of control.
8Never operate an ATV in fast flowing water or
in water deeper than that recommended in
this manual. Remember that wet brakes may
have reduced stopping ability. Test your
brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply
them several times to let friction dry out the
linings.
8Always use the size and type tires specified in
this manual.

8Always set the parking brake before start-
ing the engine. The ATV could start mov-
ing unexpectedly if the parking brake is
not applied. This could cause loss of con-
trol or a collision.
8Always be sure you have released the
parking brake before you begin to ride.
The brake could overheat if you ride the
ATV without releasing the parking brake.
You could lose braking performance
which could cause an accident. You could
also wear out the brakes prematurely.

Front and rear brakes
1. Brake lever and brake pedal
Check for correct free play in the front brake
lever. If the free play is incorrect, adjust
it.(See pages 8-51 ~ 8-53 for details.)
Check operation of the lever and pedal.
They should move smoothly and there
should be a firm feeling when the brake is
applied. If not, have the machine inspected
by a Yamaha dealer.
2. Brake operation
Test the brakes at slow speed after starting
out to make sure they are working properly.

performance, inspect the brakes for
wear.(See page 8-49.)

dent. If a problem cannot be corrected by the
adjustment procedures provided in this man-
ual, have the ATV inspected by a Yamaha
dealer.
