WARNING
EWB03500These shock absorber assemblies contain
highly pressurized nitrogen gas. Read and
understand the following information be-
fore handling the shock absorber assem-
blies.
 Do not tamper with or attempt to open
the cylinder assemblies.
 Do not subject the shock absorber as-
sembly to an open flame or other high
heat source. This may cause the unit to
explode due to excessive gas pressure.
 Do not deform or damage the cylinders
in any way. Cylinder damage will result in
poor damping performance.
 Do not dispose of a damaged or worn
out shock absorber assembly yourself.
Take the shock absorber assembly to a
Yamaha dealer for any service.
EBU35052Auxiliary DC jackThe auxiliary DC jack is located at the left side
of the glove compartment. The auxiliary DC
jack can be used for suitable work lights, ra-
dios, etc. The auxiliary DC jack should only be
used when the engine is running and the
lights are turned off.NOTICEECB02250 Do not use accessories requiring more
than the stated maximum capacity. Do-
ing so may overload the circuit and cau-
se the fuse to blow.
 If accessories are used without the en-
gine running, the battery may discharge.
 Do not use an automotive cigarette light-
er or other accessories with a plug that
gets hot, because the jack can be dam-
aged. 1. Set the light switch to “ ” (off).
2. Turn the accessory off.
3. Start the engine. (See page 6-2.)

If the engine fails to start, release the key, and
then try starting it again. Wait a few seconds
before the next attempt. Each attempt should
be as short as possible, to preserve battery
energy. NOTICE: Do not crank the engine
more than 5 seconds on each attempt, or
starter damage could occur. Wait at least
5 seconds between each operation of the
electric starter to let it cool.
[ECB02140]
Do not turn the key to the “ ” (start) position
with the engine running; otherwise, damage
to the electric starter may result.
