TIP●The radiator fan is automatically switched on or
off according to the coolant temperature in the
radiator.●If the engine overheats, see page 8-56 for fur-
ther instructions.
EBU23543To change the coolant
WARNING
EWB01890Wait for the engine and radiator to cool before
removing the radiator cap. You could be
burned by hot fluid and steam blown out under
pressure. Always place a thick rag over the cap
when opening. Allow any remaining pressure
to escape before completely removing the cap.1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove panel A. (See page 8-10.)
3. Place a container under the engine, and thenremove the coolant drain bolt and its gasket.

9. Connect the coolant reservoir hose.
10. Pour the recommended coolant into the reser- voir to the maximum level mark, and then in-
stall the reservoir cap. NOTICE: Mix
antifreeze with distilled water only. Howev-
er, if distilled water is not available, soft
water may be used for refilling. Do not use
hard water or salt water since they are
harmful to the engine.
[ECB00991]
11. Pour the recommended coolant into the radia- tor until it is full.
12. Install the radiator cap, start the engine, let it idle for several minutes, and then turn it off. 13. Remove the radiator cap to check the coolant
level in the radiator. If it is low, add sufficient
coolant until it reaches the top of the radiator,
and then install the radiator cap.
14. Start the engine, and then check for coolant leakage.
TIPIf any leakage is found, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cooling system.15. Install the panel.EBU26806Cleaning the air filter element The air filter element should be cleaned at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. Clean or, if necessary, replace
the air filter element more frequently if you are
riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.TIPThere is a check hose at the bottom of the air filter
case. If dust or water collects in this hose, empty
the hose and clean the air filter element and air fil-
ter case.
Antifreeze/water mixture ratio:1:1
Recommended antifreeze: High-quality ethylene glycol antifreeze con-
taining corrosion inhibitors for aluminum en-
gines
Coolant quantity: Radiator capacity (including all routes):1.68 L (1.78 US qt, 1.48 Imp.qt)
Coolant reservoir capacity (up to the maxi-
mum level mark): 0.25 L (0.26 US qt, 0.22 Imp.qt)

WARNING
EWB02290Wait for the engine and radiator to cool before
removing the radiator cap. You could be burned by
hot fluid and steam blown out under pressure. Always put a thick rag over the cap when opening.
Allow any remaining pressure to escape before completely removing the cap.TIPIf coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the rec-
ommended coolant as soon as possible.Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer check
and repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See TIP.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again, have a
Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling system.
There is
