PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
EBU19226Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe operating condition. Always
follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
EWB00482Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equip-
ment damage. Do not operate the vehicle if you find any problem. If a problem cannot be corrected
by the procedures provided in this manual, have the vehicle inspected by a Yamaha dealer. Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
ITEMROUTINE PAGE
Fuel • Check fuel level in fuel tank,
and add recommended fuel if neces-
sary.
• Check fuel line for leakage. Correct if necessary. 4-8, 5-3

EBU19542FuelMake sure that there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
(See page 4-8.)EBU19561Engine oilMake sure that the engine oil is at the specified
level. Add oil as necessary. (See page 8-11.)EBU34490Transmission oilMake sure that the transmission oil is at the spec-
ified level. Add oil as necessary. (See page 8-14.)EBU19653Front and rear brakesBrake levers
Check for correct free play in the brake levers. If
the free play is incorrect, adjust it. (See pages
8-23 and 8-25.)
Check operation of the levers. They should
move smoothly and there should be a firm feel-
ing when the brake is applied. If not, have the
ATV checked by a Yamaha dealer. Brake operation
Test the brakes at slow speed after starting out to
make sure they are working properly. If the brakes
do not provide proper braking performance,
check the brake shoes for wear. (See page 8-22.)
EBU19762Throttle leverCheck the operation of the throttle lever. It must
open smoothly and spring back to the idle position
when released. Have a Yamaha dealer correct if
necessary.EBU19771Drive chainCheck the condition of the drive chain and check
the drive chain slack. Lubricate and adjust the
drive chain as necessary. (See page 8-26.)EBU19795TiresCheck tire pressure regularly to make sure it is at
the recommended specifications. Also check for
wear and damage.

2. Check the spark plug for electrode erosion
and excessive carbon or other deposits, and
replace it if necessary.
3. Measure the spark plug gap with a wire thick- ness gauge and, if necessary, adjust the gap
to specification. To install the spark plug
1. Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket and its mating surface, and then wipe off any
grime from the spark plug threads.
2. Install the spark plug with the spark plug wrench, and then tighten it to the specified
torque.
TIPIf a torque wrench is not available when installing
the spark plug, a good estimate of the correct
torque is 1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight. However,
the spark plug should be tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible. 3. Install the spark plug cap.EBU36791Engine oilThe engine oil level should be checked before
each ride. In addition, the oil must be changed at
the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
Specified spark plug:
NGK/CR6HSA
1. Spark plug gapSpark plug gap:0.6–0.7 mm (0.024–0.028 in)
Tightening torque:Spark plug:12 N·m (1.2 kgf·m, 8.7 lb·ft)

8To check the engine oil level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Check the engine oil level on a cold engine.
TIPIf the engine was started before checking the oil
level, be sure to warm up the engine sufficiently,
and then wait at least ten minutes until the oil set-
tles for an accurate reading. 3. Remove the engine oil filler cap, and then wipe the engine oil dipstick off with a clean
rag. 4. Insert the dipstick into the filler hole, screw it
in, and then remove it again to check the oil
level.
TIPThe engine oil should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks. 5. If the engine oil is at or below the minimumlevel mark, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it to the correct level.

NOTICE:
Be sure the engine oil is at the
correct level, otherwise engine damage
may result.
[ECB00852]
6. Check the O-ring for damage, and replace it if necessary.
7. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler hole, and then tighten the engine oil filler cap.
To change the engine oil 1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minu- tes, and then turn it off.
3. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect the used oil.
4. Remove the engine oil filler cap, and then re- move the engine oil drain bolt to drain the oil
from the crankcase. NOTICE: When remov-
ing the engine oil drain bolt, the compres-
sion spring, oil strainer and O-ring will fall
out. Take care not to lose these parts.
[ECB00312]
5. Clean the oil strainer with solvent.
6. Apply a thin coat of clean engine oil to a new O-ring.
7. Install the oil strainer, the compression spring, the new O-ring and the engine oil
drain bolt. Tighten the engine oil drain bolt to
the specified torque. NOTICE: Before in-
stalling the engine oil drain bolt, be sure to
install the O-ring, compression spring and
oil strainer.

88. Refill with the specified amount of the recom-
mended engine oil.
TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any parts after the
engine and exhaust system have cooled down. NOTICEECB00331Do not use oils with a diesel specification of
“CD” or oils of a higher quality than speci-
fied. In addition, do not use oils labeled “EN-
ERGY CONSERVING II” or higher.
Make sure that no foreign material enters the
crankcase.
9. Check the engine oil filler cap O-ring for dam-
age, and replace it if necessary.
10. Install and tighten the engine oil filler cap.
11. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking it for oil leakage. If oil
is leaking, immediately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
12. Turn the engine off, wait at least ten minutes, and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.EBU34472Transmission oilThe transmission case must be checked for oil
leakage before each ride. If any leakage is found,
have a Yamaha dealer check and repair the ATV.
In addition, the transmission oil must be changed
at the intervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
To change the transmission oil1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Place an oil pan under the transmission case to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the transmission oil filler cap and its O-ring from the transmission case.

tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. Clean or, if necessary, replace
the air filter element more frequently if you are rid-
ing 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.

The figures quoted are emission levels and are not
necessarily safe working levels. Whilst there is a
correlation between the emission and exposure
levels, this cannot be used reliably to determine
whether or not further precautions are required.
Factors that influence the actual level of exposure of work-force include the characteristics of the
work room, the other sources of noise, etc. i.e. the
number of machines and other adjacent process-
es, and the length of time for which an operator is
exposed to the noise. Also the permissible expo-
sure level can vary from country. This information,
however, will enable the user of the machine to
make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.UBW460E0.book Page 4 Monday, May 23, 2016 11:12 AM
