WARNING


Always turn off the engine when refueling.


Do not refuel right after the engine has
been running and is still very hot.


Do not spill gasoline on the engine or ex-
haust 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 and you could be burned.


When transporting the vehicle in another
vehicle, be sure it is kept in an upright po-
sition. Otherwise, fuel may leak out of the
carburetor or fuel tank.


Gasoline 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.

EVU00181
Coolant temperature warning light “”
When the coolant temperature reaches a specified
level, this light comes on to warn that the coolant
temperature is too hot. If the light comes on during
operation, stop the engine as soon as it is safe to
do so and allow the engine to cool down for about
10 minutes. (See page 8-140.)CAUTION:_

The engine may overheat if the vehicle is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the
load to specification.


After restarting, make sure that the light is
out. Continuous use while the light is on
may cause damage to the engine.

On-Command differential gear lock switch
“4WD”/”LOCK”
To lock the differential gear in 4WD, stop the vehi-
cle, make sure the On-Command four-wheel-drive
switch is set to “4WD”, move the select lever to po-
sition b, and then set the switch to “LOCK”. When
the differential gear is locked, the differential gear
lock indicator light (“DIFF.LOCK”) will come on
along with the differential gear lock indicator “”
in the multi-function meter unit display. To release
the differential gear lock, stop the vehicle and set
the switch to “4WD”.
WARNING
Always ride at a slow speed when the vehicle
is in 4WD-LOCK, and allow extra time and dis-
tance for maneuvers.
All wheels turn at the same speed when the dif-
ferential is locked, so it takes more effort to
turn the vehicle. The amount of effort is more
the faster you go. You may lose control and
have an accident if you cannot make a sharp
enough turn for the speed you are traveling.

Starting a cold engine
WARNING
Always make sure all control cables work
smoothly before you begin riding in cold
weather. If the control cables are frozen or do
not work smoothly, you could be unable to
control the vehicle, which could lead to an ac-
cident or collision.1. Apply the brake.
2. Shift the drive select lever into the neutral po-
sition.NOTE:_

When the drive select lever is in the neutral
position, the neutral indicator light should
come on. If the neutral indicator light does not
come on, ask a Yamaha dealer to inspect the
electric circuit.


The engine can be started in any gear if the
brake is applied. However, it is recommend-
ed to shift into neutral before starting the en-
gine.

Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha vehicles receive a rigid inspec-
tion before shipment from the factory, trouble may
occur during operation. Any problem in the fuel,
compression, or ignition systems can cause poor
starting and loss of power. The troubleshooting
chart describes a quick, easy procedure for mak-
ing checks. If your vehicle requires any repair, take
it to a Yamaha dealer.
The skilled technicians at a Yamaha dealership
have the tools, experience, and know-how to prop-
erly service your vehicle. Use only genuine
Yamaha parts on your vehicle. Imitation parts may
look like Yamaha parts, but they are often inferior.
Consequently, they have a shorter service life and
can lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING
Do not smoke when checking the fuel system.
Fuel can ignite or explode, causing severe in-
jury or property damage. Make sure there are
no open flames or sparks in the area, including
pilot lights from water heaters or furnaces.
