EBU19540Fuel Make sure that there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
(See page 4-14.)
WARNING
EWB00520
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Fuel expands
when it heats up. If the fuel tank is overfilled,
fuel could spill out due to heat from the en-
gine or the sun.
Be careful not to spill fuel, especially on the
engine or exhaust pipe which can cause a
fire and severe injury. Wipe up any spilled
fuel immediately.
Do not refuel right after the engine has been
running and is still very hot.
Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed securely.EBU19560Engine oil Make sure that the engine oil is at the specified lev-
el. Add oil as necessary. (See page 8-10.)EBU19590Final gear oil Make sure that the final gear oil is at the specified
level. Add oil as necessary. (See page 8-14.)
EBU19600Differential gear oil Make sure that the differential gear oil is at the
specified level. Add oil as necessary. (See page
8-17.)EBU28530Front and rear brakes Brake levers and brake pedal
Check that there is no free play in the front brake
lever. If there is free play, have a Yamaha dealer
check the brake system.
Check for correct free play in the rear brake lever
and brake pedal. If the free play is incorrect, ad-
just it. (See page 8-30.)
Check operation of the levers and pedal. They
should move smoothly and there should be a
firm feeling when the brake is applied. If not,
have a Yamaha dealer check them.
Brake fluid level (front brake)
Check the brake fluid level. Add fluid if necessary.
(See page 8-28.)

CAUTION:ECB00420Be sure no foreign material enters the finalgear case.
7. Install the oil filler bolt, and then tighten it to the
specified torque.
8. Check the final gear case for oil leakage. If oil
is leaking, check for the cause.
9. Install the engine guard and the final gear
case guard by installing the bolts, and then
tightening them to the specified torques.
EBU23421Differential gear oil The differential gear case must be checked for oil
leakage before each ride. If any leakage is found,
have a Yamaha dealer check and repair the ATV.
In addition, the differential gear oil level must be
checked and the oil changed as follows at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the differential gear oil level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.NOTE:The differential gear oil level must be checked ona cold engine.
2. Remove the differential gear oil filler bolt, and
then check the oil level in the differential gear
case. Tightening torque:
Final gear oil filler bolt:
23 Nm (2.3 m·kgf, 17 ft·lbf)
Tightening torques:
Engine guard bolt:
7 Nm (0.7 m·kgf, 5.1 ft·lbf)

NOTE:The oil level should be at the brim of the filler hole.
3. If the oil is below the brim of the filler hole, add
sufficient oil of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
4. Install the oil filler bolt, and then tighten it to the
specified torque.To change the differential gear oil
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Place an oil pan under the differential gear
case to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the differential gear oil filler bolt and
the differential gear oil drain bolt to drain the
oil from the differential gear case.
4. Install the drain bolt, and then tighten it to the
specified torque.1. Differential gear oil

specified torque.7. Check the differential gear case for oil leak-
age. If oil is leaking, check for the cause.
EBU23640Cleaning the air filter element The air filter element should be cleaned at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. Clean the air filter element more
frequently if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty
areas.NOTE:There is a check hose at the bottom of the air filter
case. If dust or water collects in this hose, empty
the hose and clean the air filter element and air fil-ter case.
