WARNING
●Always turn off the engine when refuel-
ing.
●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 vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or other
sources of ignition such as the pilot lights
of water heaters and clothes dryers. Gas-
oline can catch fire and you could be
burned.
●When transporting the machine in anoth-
er vehicle, be sure it is kept upright and
that the fuel cock is in the “OFF” position.
Otherwise, fuel may leak out of the carbu-
retor 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 gas-
oline spills on your skin, wash with soap
and water. If gasoline spills on your cloth-
ing, change your clothes.

Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha machines receive a rigid in-
spection before shipment from the factory,
trouble may occur during operation.
Any problem in the fuel, compression, or igni-
tion systems can cause poor starting and loss
of power. The troubleshooting chart describes
a quick, easy procedure for making checks. If
your machine requires any repair, take it to a
Yamaha dealer.
The skilled technicians at a Yamaha dealership
have the tools, experience, and know-how to
properly service your machine. Use only genu-
ine Yamaha parts on your machine. Imitation
parts may look like Yamaha parts, but they are
often inferior. Consequently, they have a short-
er 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 inju-
ry or property damage. Make sure there are no
open flames or sparks in the area, including pi-
lot lights from water heaters or furnaces.
