l
Always check for obstacles before operat-
ing in a new area.
Never attempt to operate over large obsta-
cles, such as large rocks or fallen trees. Al-
ways follow proper procedures when
operating over obstacles as described in
this manual.
l
Always be careful when skidding or sliding.
Learn to safely control skidding or sliding
by practicing at low speeds and on level,
smooth terrain. On extremely slippery sur-
faces, such as ice, go slowly and be very
cautious in order to reduce the chance of
skidding or sliding out of control.
l
Never operate an ATV in fast flowing water
or in water deeper than that recommended
in this manual. Remember that wet brakes
may have reduced stopping ability. Test
your brakes after leaving water. If neces-
sary, apply them several times to let friction
dry out the linings.

Front and rear brakes
1. Brake levers and brake pedal
Check for correct free play in the rear
brake lever and that there is no free play in
the front brake lever. If the free play is in-
correct, adjust it. (See pages 8-95 ~ 8-103.)
Check the operation of the levers and ped-
al. They should move smoothly and there
should be a firm feeling when the brakes
are applied. If not, have the machine in-
spected by a Yamaha dealer.
2. Brake fluid level
Check the brake fluid level.
Add fluid if necessary. (See pages 8-91 ~
8-95.)
3. Brake fluid leakage
Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking
out of the pipe joints or master cylinder.
Apply the brakes firmly for one minute. If
there is any leaking, have the machine in-
spected by a Yamaha dealer. Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4

4. Brake operation
Test the brakes at slow speed after start-
ing out to make sure they are working
properly. If the brakes do not provide
proper braking performance, inspect the
brake pads for wear. (See page 8-89.)
WARNING
Always check the brakes at the start of every
ride. Do not ride the ATV if you find any prob-
lem with the brakes or you could lose braking
ability, which could lead to an accident. If a
problem cannot be corrected by the adjust-
ment procedures provided in this manual,
have the ATV inspected by a Yamaha dealer.

Drive select lever operation and reverse driv-
ing
CAUTION:
Before shifting, you must stop the machine
and return the throttle lever to the closed posi-
tion. Otherwise, the transmission may be
damaged.
1. Shifting: Neutral to High and High to Low
a. Bring the machine to a complete stop and
return the throttle lever to the closed posi-
tion.
b. Apply the brakes, then shift by moving the
drive select lever along the shift guide.
NOTE:
Make sure that the drive select lever is com-
pletely shifted into position.
c. Open the throttle lever gradually.

Parking on a slope
WARNING
Avoid parking on hills or other inclines. Park-
ing on a hill or other incline could cause the
ATV to roll out of control, increasing the
chance of an accident. If you must park on an
incline, place the machine transversely across
the incline, apply the parking brake, and block
the front and rear wheels with rocks or other
objects. Do not park the ATV at all on hills that
are so steep you could not walk up them easi-ly.
1. Bring the machine to a stop by applying
the brakes.
2. Stop the engine.
3. With the rear brake applied, shift the drive
select lever to the park position.

EL
Select a large, flat area off-road to become fa-
miliar with your ATV. Make sure that this area
is free of obstacles and other riders. You
should practice control of the throttle, brakes,
shifting procedures, and turning techniques in
this area before trying more difficult terrain. Al-
ways avoid riding on paved surfaces: the ATV
is designed for off-road use only, and handling
maneuvers are more difficult to perform on
pavement.
Set the parking brake and follow the instruc-
tion on page 6-3 to start the engine. Once it has
warmed up you are ready to begin riding your
ATV. As you get on the ATV, be sure not to ac-
cidentally move the shift pedal. Remember
that the engine and exhaust pipe will be hot
when riding and afterwards; do not allow skin
or clothing to come in contact with these com-
ponents.

EL
With the engine idling, shift the drive select le-
ver into low or high. Then release the parking
brake. Apply the throttle slowly and smoothly.
The centrifugal clutch will engage and you will
start to accelerate. If the throttle is applied too
abruptly, the front wheels may lift off the
ground resulting in a loss of directional con-
trol. Avoid higher speeds until you are thor-
oughly familiar with the operation of your ATV.
When slowing down or stopping, release the
throttle and apply the brakes smoothly and
evenly. Improper use of the brakes can cause
the tires to lose traction, reducing control and
increasing the possibility of an accident.CAUTION:Do not shift from low to high or vice versa
without coming to a complete stop. Damageto the engine or drive train may occur.

If your ATV has stalled or stopped and you be-
lieve you can continue up the hill, restart care-
fully to make sure you do not lift the front
wheels which could cause you to lose control.
If you are unable to continue up the hill, dis-
mount the ATV on the uphill side. Physically
turn the ATV around and then descend the hill.
If you start to roll backwards, DO NOT apply ei-
ther brake abruptly. If you are in 2WD, apply
only the front brake. When this ATV is in 4WD,
all wheels (front and rear) are interconnected
by the drive train. This means that applying ei-
ther the front brake or the rear brake will brake
all wheels. When descending hills, using either
brake lever or the brake pedal will brake the
wheels on the downhill side. Avoid sudden ap-
plication of either the front or rear brake be-
cause the wheels on the uphill side could come
off the ground. The ATV could easily tip over
backwards. Apply both the front and rear
brakes gradually, or dismount the ATV imme-
diately on the uphill side.
