Starting the engine
1. Turn the key to “” (on).NOTICEThe On-Command differential gear lock indica-
tor light, coolant temperature warning light
and engine trouble warning light should come
on, then go off.
The EPS warning light should come on, then
go off when the engine is started.
If a warning or indicator light does not go off,
see pages 4-5 and 4-15–4-21 for the corre-
sponding warning and indicator light circuit
check.2. Apply the brake pedal.
3. Shift the drive select lever into the neutral po-
sition.

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.

Shifting: neutral to reverse
WARNING
Before you shift into reverse, make sure there
are no obstacles or people behind you. When it
is safe to proceed, go slowly. Hitting an obsta-
cle or person could result in serious injury or
death.1. Stop the vehicle, take your foot off the accel-
erator pedal, and check behind you.
2. Apply the brake pedal.
3. Shift from neutral to reverse or vice versa by
moving the drive select lever along the shift
guide.


When in reverse, the reverse indicator
light should be on. Due to the synchroniz-
ing mechanism in the engine, the light
may not come on until the vehicle starts
moving.


If the light does not come on, ask a
Yamaha dealer to inspect the reverse in-
dicator light electrical circuit.

Become familiar with the way the vehicle feels in
low and high ranges, first in two-wheel drive with
both differentials unlocked “DIFF UNLOCK” and
with the rear differential locked “2WD”, and then in
four-wheel drive “4WD” and four-wheel drive with
the differential locked “DIFF LOCK”. Steering may
take more effort in four-wheel drive with the differ-
ential locked “DIFF LOCK”. Also practice driving in
reverse.
Take the time to learn basic operation of the vehi-
cle before attempting more difficult maneuvers.
Getting ready to ride
Perform the Pre-Operation Checks on pages 5-1–
5-31. Follow the instructions starting on pages
6-7–6-9 to start the engine.

If you start to lose traction or momentum when
climbing, and decide you will be unable to contin-
ue, use the brakes to stop. Do not attempt to turn
the vehicle around. With your foot on the brake
pedal, look behind you and plan your descent.
Shift the drive select lever into reverse so you can
use engine braking to slow your descent. Release
the brake and begin to coast down the hill. Use en-
gine braking as much as possible, gently applying
the brakes when necessary.
Downhill
Check the terrain carefully before going downhill.
When possible, choose a path that lets you drive
your vehicle straight downhill. Choose your path
carefully and drive slowly enough to be able to re-
act to obstacles that you encounter.

Brush or wooded areas
When operating in areas with brush or trees,
watch carefully on both sides and above the vehi-
cle for obstacles such as branches that the vehicle
might hit, causing an accident. Watch for brush
that might enter the vehicle as you pass, and strike
you or passengers.
Never hold onto the cage/frame. Every passenger
should always hold onto the handholds with both
hands.
The muffler and other engine parts become ex-
tremely hot during operation and remain hot after
the engine has stopped. To reduce the risk of fire
during operation or after leaving the vehicle, do not
let brush, grass and other materials collect under
the vehicle, near the muffler or exhaust pipe, or
next to other hot parts. Check under the vehicle af-
ter operating in areas where combustible materials
may have collected. Do not idle or park the vehicle
in long dry grass or other dry ground cover.

TIP

The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.


Hydraulic brake service
Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinder and calipers, and
change the brake fluid.
Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.
Engine mount*Check for cracks or damage.
Check bolt tightness.Front and rear axle boots*Check for cracks or other damage, and replace if necessary.Stabilizer bushings*Check for cracks or damage.Fittings and fasteners*Check all chassis fittings and fasteners.

Engine oil and oil filter cartridge
Check engine oil level before each operation. In
addition, change the oil and the oil filter cartridge at
the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the oil filler hole access panel by
pulling it outward.
3. Check the engine oil level on a cold engine. If
the engine was started before checking the
oil level, be sure to warm up the engine suffi-
ciently, and then wait at least ten minutes un-
til the oil settles for an accurate reading.

4. Remove the engine oil dipstick, and then
wipe it off with a clean rag.
5. Insert the dipstick completely into the oil filler
hole with the arrow mark on the dipstick knob
pointing upward as shown, and then remove
it again to check the oil level. The engine oil
should be between the minimum and maxi-
mum level marks.
6. If the engine oil is at or below the minimum
level mark, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it to the correct level.
7. Insert the dipstick completely into the oil filler
hole with the arrow mark on the dipstick knob
pointing upward.

NOTICE

In order to prevent clutch slippage (since
the engine oil also lubricates the clutch),
do not mix any chemical additives with oil.
Do not use oils with a diesel specification
of “CD” or oils of a higher quality than
specified. In addition, do not use oils la-
beled “ENERGY CONSERVING II” or high-
er.


Make sure that no foreign material enters
the crankcase.
12. Start the engine, and then let it idle for sever-
al minutes while checking it for oil leakage. If
oil is leaking, immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.
13. Turn the engine off, wait at least ten minutes,
and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
14. Install the engine guard by installing the bolts,
and then tightening them to the specified
torque.
