• Do not drive or ride as passenger after using drugs or alcohol.
Prepare your vehicle
Perform the pre-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe oper-
ating condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an
accident or equipment damage. See page 5-1 for a list of pre-operation checks.
Prepare your load or trailer
Carrying loads, towing a trailer, or pulling object s can affect handling, stability, and cause the risk
of overturns or other accidents.
 Read Chapter 6 before loading, towing, or pulling objects.
 Do not overload the vehicle or trailer. Refer to label in cargo bed for cargo bed load limit. Refer
to label next to hitch for tongue weight and trailer load limits.
 Keep weight in the cargo bed centered side to side, and as low and as far forward as possible.
 Secure cargo so that it will not shift – a loose load could change handling unexpectedly or be
thrown forward and strike occupants.
While using your Yamaha Wolverine
 Keep your body completely inside the vehicle at all times. Keep both hands on the steering
wheel. Be sure the passenger is seated, belted, and holding onto the passenger handhold.
Close doors before driving. Any part of your body (arms, legs, and head) outside the vehicle
can be struck by objects your vehicle is passing or crushed by the vehicle cage/frame in a roll-
over accident.
 Watch for branches, brush, or other hazards that could enter the vehicle.

If you think or feel that the vehicle may tip or roll, keep your body completely inside the protec-
tive structure of the vehicle:
• Brace yourself by pressing your feet firmly on the floorboard and keep a firm grip on the
steering wheel or passenger handhold.
• Do not put your hands or feet outside of the vehicle for any reason. Your arm or leg could be
crushed.

 Do not operate this vehicle on any public street , road, or highway, even if dirt or gravel.
 Do not operate the vehicle in fast-flowing water or water deeper than 37 cm (15 in). If you must
cross shallow, slow-moving water, choose your path carefully to avoid sharp drop-offs, large
rocks, or slippery surfaces. Operating this vehi cle through deep or fast-flowing water can lead
to loss of control or overturn. To reduce your risk of drowning or other injuries, use care when
crossing through water.
 When loaded with cargo or towing a trailer:
• Reduce speed, operate in low gear only, and allow more room to stop.
• Avoid hills and rough terrain. Use extreme cautio n when towing or carrying a load on inclines.

 Do not tow or pull objects from any part of the vehicle other than the trailer hitch bracket or
winch (if installed).
