EBU33710Parking brakePull the parking brake lever rearward com-
pletely. If the parking brake lever clicks eight
times or more, have a Yamaha dealer adjust
the parking brake because the braking force
of the parking brake is weak. In addition, have
a Yamaha dealer check and adjust the park-
ing brake at the intervals specified in the peri-
odic maintenance and lubrication chart.EBU32550Brake light switch adjustmentThe brake light switch, which is activated by
the brake pedal, is properly adjusted when
the brake light comes on just before braking
takes effect. If necessary, adjust the brake
light switch as follows.
Turn the adjusting nut while holding the brake
light switch in place. To make the brake light
come on earlier, turn the adjusting nut in di-
rection (a). To make the brake light come on
later, turn the adjusting nut in direction (b).
EBU35930Cable inspection and lubrication
WARNING
EWB03380Damaged cables could restrict operation,
which may cause an accident or injury. In-
spect control cables frequently and re-
place damaged cables. Corrosion can
result when the outer covering of control
cables becomes damaged. Cables can
also become frayed or kinked. 1. Brake light switch

Lubricate the cable ends. If the cables do not
operate smoothly, ask a Yamaha dealer to re-
place them.EBU32570Brake pedal and accelerator pedal lu-
bricationLubricate the pivoting parts.
EBU32582Checking the stabilizer bushesThe stabilizer bushes must be checked for
cracks or damage at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
Have a Yamaha dealer replace the stabilizer
bushes if necessary.
Recommended lubricant: Yamalube LubezAll (synthetic lubricant
spray with PTFE)
Recommended lubricant: Lithium-soap-based grease

EBU32681Headlight beam adjustmentNOTICEECB00691It is advisable to have a Yamaha dealer
make this adjustment. To raise the beam, turn the headlight beam
adjusting screw in direction (a).
To lower the beam, turn the headlight beam
adjusting screw in direction (b).
EBU33590Tail/brake light bulb replacementIf a tail/brake light bulb burns out, replace it as
follows: 1. Remove the tail/brake light bulb holder
(together with the bulb) by turning it
counterclockwise.
2. Push the burnt-out bulb in and turn it counterclockwise to remove it from the

CLEANING AND STORAGE
EBU33681CleaningFrequent, thorough cleaning of your vehicle
will not only enhance its appearance but will
improve its general performance and extend
the useful life of many components.1. Before cleaning the vehicle: a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipeto prevent water entry. A plastic bag
and strong rubber band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plug and all filler caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively greasy, apply degreaser with a paint brush. Do
not apply degreaser to the wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden hose. Use only enough pressure
to do the job. WARNING! Test the
brakes after washing. Apply the
brakes several times at slow speeds to
let friction dry the brakes. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability, in-
creasing the chance of an accident.
[EWB03471]

NOTICE: Excessive water pres-
sure may cause water seepage and
deterioration of wheel bearings,
brakes, transmission seals and electri-
cal devices. Many expensive repair
bills have resulted from improper high-
pressure detergent applications such
as those available in coin-operated car
washers.
[ECB00712]
TIPThe tailgate can be removed to make it easier
to clean the cargo bed. To separate the tail-
gate from the cargo bed, unhook the latches,
and then pull up the tailgate. (See page 4-21
for tailgate removal and installation proce-
dures.)

EBU33221For Europe only
The figures quoted are emission levels and
are not necessarily safe working levels. Whilst
there is a correlation between the emission
and exposure levels, this cannot be used reli-
ably to determine whether or not further pre-
cautions are required. Factors that influence
the actual level of exposure of work-force in-
clude the characteristics of the work room,
the other sources of noise, etc. i.e. the num-
ber of machines and other adjacent process-
es, and the length of time for which an
operator is exposed to the noise. Also the
permissible exposure level can vary from
country. This information, however, will en-
able the user of the machine to make a better
evaluation of the hazard and risk.
