4. Enfoncer la fixation d’ampoule de phare et la tour-
ner dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d’une montre
pour la retirer.
5. Retirer l’ampoule défectueuse et la remplacer par
une neuve.
AVERTISSEMENT
_ Ne pas toucher l’ampoule de phare tant qu’elle est al-
lumée ou immédiatement après son extinction. Il y a
risque de brûlure et d’incendie si l’ampoule chaude
entre en contact avec un produit inflammable. Atten-
dre que l’ampoule soit refroidie avant de la toucher
ou de la déposer. _ATTENTION:_ Ne jamais toucher le verre d’une ampoule de phare
afin de ne pas laisser de résidus graisseux. La graisse
réduit la transparence du verre mais aussi la lumino-
sité de l’ampoule, ainsi que sa durée de service. Net-
toyer soigneusement toute crasse ou trace de doigts
sur l’ampoule avec un chiffon imbibé d’alcool ou de
diluant pour peinture. _

vocarse un incendio si la bombilla entrara en
contacto con algo. _AT E N C I O N :_ No toque la parte de vidrio de la bombilla del faro
para no ensuciarla con grasa, porque de lo con-
trario se afectarían adversamente la transparen-
cia del vidrio, la luminosidad de la bombilla, y la
vida de servicio de la bombilla. Limpie bien todas
las huellas dactilares que pudiera haber en la
bombilla empleando un paño humedecido en al-
cohol o disolvente. _

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 ignition
systems can cause poor starting and loss of pow-
er. The troubleshooting chart describes a quick,
easy procedure for making checks. If your ma-
chine requires any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer.
The skilled technicians at a Yamaha dealership
have the tools, experience, and know-how to prop-
erly service your machine. Use only genuine
Yamaha parts on your machine. Imitation parts
may look like Yamaha parts, but they are often in-
ferior. Consequently, they have a shorter service
life and can lead to expensive repair bills.
