Always follow proper procedures for going up-
hill. If you lose momentum and cannot continue
up a hill, back down the hill with the engine in
reverse gear. Use engine braking to help you
go slowly. If necessary, use the brakes gradu-
ally to help you go slowly.


Always check terrain carefully before going
down hills. Go as slowly as possible. Never go
down a hill at high speed.


Always check for obstacles before operating in
a new area.


Never operate the vehicle in fast flowing water
or water deeper than the floorboards on this
model. 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.


Always be sure there are no obstacles or peo-
ple behind you when you operate in reverse.
When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly.
Do not brake abruptly when carrying loads in
the cargo bed.

EVU01290
Accelerator pedal
Press the accelerator pedal down to increase en-
gine speed. Spring pressure returns the pedal to
the rest position when released. Always check that
the accelerator pedal returns normally before start-
ing the engine.
Before starting the engine, check the accelerator
pedal to be sure it is operating smoothly. Make
sure the accelerator pedal fully returns to the idle
position as soon as it is released.
WARNING
Malfunction of the accelerator pedal could
make it difficult to speed up or slow down
when you need to. This could cause an acci-
dent. Check the operation of the accelerator
pedal before you start the engine. If the accel-
erator pedal does not work smoothly, check
for the cause. Correct the problem before oper-
ating the vehicle or consult a Yamaha dealer.

Fuel level check window
The amount of fuel in the fuel tank can be checked
through the fuel level check window. If the fuel lev-
el is low, refuel as soon as possible.
EVU00320
Starter (choke) “”
Starting a cold engine requires a richer air-fuel
mixture. A separate starter circuit supplies this
mixture.
Move in direction
a to turn on the starter (choke).
Move in direction
b to turn off the starter (choke).
Refer to “Starting a cold engine” for proper opera-
tion. (See pages 6-3–6-7.)

EVU01370
Coolant
Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir
when the engine is cold. (The coolant level will
vary with engine temperature.) The coolant level is
satisfactory if it is between the minimum and max-
imum level marks on the coolant reservoir. If the
coolant level is at or below the minimum level
mark, add additional coolant to bring the level up to
maximum level mark. If coolant is not available,
add distilled water. Change the coolant every two
years. (See pages 8-47–8-49 for details.)CAUTION:_ Hard water or salt water is harmful to the en-
gine. You may use soft water if you cannot get
distilled water. _
Coolant reservoir capacity
(up to the maximum level mark):
0.35 L (0.31 Imp qt, 0.37 US qt)

7. After the engine starts, disconnect the nega-
tive lead of the jumper cable from the vehicle
and charged battery, and then disconnect the
positive lead of the jumper cable from the
charged battery and the battery in the vehi-
cle.
8. Install the battery compartment cover.
9. Close the hood.
EVU00570
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.

Shifting: Neutral to Reverse
1. Stop the vehicle. Keep your foot off the accel-
erator pedal.
2. Apply the brake pedal.
3. Shift from neutral to reverse or vice versa by
moving the drive select lever along the shift
guide.NOTE:_

When in reverse, the reverse indicator light
should be on. If the light does not come on,
ask a Yamaha dealer to inspect the reverse
indicator light electrical circuit.


Due to the synchronizing mechanism in the
engine, the light may not come on until the
vehicle starts moving.
_ 4. Check behind for people or obstacles, then
release the brake pedal.
5. Press the accelerator pedal gradually and
continue to watch to the rear while backing.
