When the coolant temperature reaches a specified
level, this light comes on to warn that the coolant
temperature is too hot. If the light comes on during
operation, stop the engine as soon as it is safe to
do so and allow the engine to cool down for about
10 minutes.
The coolant temperature warning light circuit can
be checked according to the procedure on page

The engine may overheat if the ATV is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the
load to specification.


Restart after making sure that the light is
out. Continuous use while the light is on
