WARNING
_
Always turn off the engine when refueling.
Do not refuel right after the engine has
been running and is still very hot.
Do not spill gasoline on the engine or ex-
haust pipe/muffler when refueling. Never
refuel while smoking, or while in the vicini-
ty of sparks, open flames, or other sources
of ignition such as the pilot lights of water
heaters and clothes dryers. Gasoline can
catch fire and you could be burned.
When transporting the machine in another
vehicle, be sure it is kept upright and that
the fuel cock is in the “OFF” position. Oth-
erwise, fuel may leak out of the carburetor
or fuel tank.
Gasoline is poisonous. If you should swal-
low some gasoline or inhale a lot of gaso-
line vapor, or get some gasoline in your
eyes, see your doctor immediately. If gaso-
line spills on your skin, wash with soap
and water. If gasoline spills on your cloth-
ing, change your clothes.

Coolant temperature warning light “”
When the coolant temperature reaches a specified
level, this light comes on to warn that the coolant
temperature is too hot. If the light comes on during
operation, stop the engine as soon as it is safe to
do so and allow the engine to cool down for about
10 minutes.
To check the coolant temperature warning light,
shift the drive select lever into neutral, turn the key
to “ON”, and then press the start switch. If the light
does not come on, have a Yamaha dealer inspect
the electrical circuit.CAUTION:_
The engine may overheat if the ATV is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the
load to specification.
Restart after making sure that the light is
out. Continuous use while the light is on
may cause damage to the engine.

DC jack can only be used when the main switch is
in the “ON” position.
1. Turn the headlight switch to the “OFF” posi-
tion.
2. Start the engine. (See pages 6-3–6-7.)
3. Open the auxiliary DC jack cap and insert the
accessory power plug into the jack.

CAUTION:
Do not use accessories requiring more
than the above maximum capacity. This
may overload the circuit and cause the
fuse to blow.
If accessories are used without the engine
running or with the headlights turned on,
the battery will lose its charge and engine
starting may become difficult.
Do not use an automotive cigarette lighter
or other accessories with a plug that gets
hot because the jack can be damaged.
