checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). The
warning light should come on in purple briefly
(which confirms that both the blue and red in-
dicators are okay) and then go off. If the warn-
ing light does not come on at all, comes on in
red or blue, or if the warning light remains on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.

“DIFF LOCK” (four-wheel drive with the dif-
ferential gear locked): Power is supplied to
the rear and front wheels with the differen-
tial gear locked. Unlike the “4WD” mode, all
wheels turn at the same speed regardless
of traction.EBU34961Reverse gear lock lever “REV.”To prevent the transmission from being acci-
dently shifted into reverse, this model is
equipped with a reverse gear lock mecha-
nism. To release the lock and be able to shift
the transmission into reverse, pull this lever
towards you.TIPSee page 6-5 for information on driving in re-
verse.

Clutch fluid
Depress and release the clutch pedal five
times. Check to see if any fluid is leaking out
of the hoses, reservoir, or master cylinder.
Check the clutch fluid level and correct if nec-
essary. (See page 8-45.)TIPIf any leakage is found, or if the clutch pedal
offers little resistance, have a Yamaha dealer
service the vehicle. EBU33200FuelMake sure there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
WARNING
EWB02522Gasoline and gasoline vapors are ex-
tremely flammable. To avoid fires and ex-
plosions and to reduce the risk of injury
when refueling, follow these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and
be sure that no one is sitting in the vehi-
cle.
Never refuel while smoking, or while in
the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as the pilot
lights of water heaters and clothes dry-
ers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Because fuel expands when it heats up, heat from the
engine or the sun can cause fuel to spill
out of the fuel tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
4. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed se- curely.
WARNING
EWB02532Gasoline is poisonous and can cause inju-
ry or death. Handle gasoline with care.
Never siphon gasoline by mouth. If you
should swallow some gasoline or inhale a
lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gasoline
in your eyes, see your doctor immediately.

ters the oil tank. EBU35322TransmissionMake sure there is no oil leaking from the
transmission case.EBU31760CoolantCheck the coolant level in the coolant reser-
voir when the engine is cold (the coolant level
will vary with engine temperature). The coolant level is satisfactory if it is be-
tween the minimum and maximum level
marks on the coolant reservoir. If the coolant
level is at or below the minimum level mark,
add additional coolant to bring the level up to
maximum level mark. If coolant is not avail-
able, add distilled water. Change the coolant
every two years. (See page 8-33.)
NOTICEECB02120Hard water or salt water is harmful to the
engine. You may use soft water if you can-
not get distilled water. EBU36020Final gearMake sure there is no oil leaking from the final

can cause the tires to lose traction, reducing
control and increasing the possibility of an ac-
cident.
WARNING
EWB00712Make sure the engine has sufficiently
slowed before shifting to a lower gear. En-
gaging a lower gear when the engine
speed is too high could make the wheels
stop rotating and lose traction. This could
cause loss of control, an accident and inju-
ry. It could also cause engine or drivetrain
damage. Recommended shift points
