8Never operate an ATV in fast flowing water or
in water deeper than that recommended in
this manual. Remember that wet brakes may
have reduced stopping ability. Test your
brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply
them several times to let friction dry out the
linings.
8Always be sure there are no obstacles or peo-
ple behind you when you operate in reverse.
When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go
slowly.
8Always use the size and type tires specified in
this manual.
8Always maintain proper tire pressure as
described in this manual.
8Never modify an ATV through improper instal-
lation or use of accessories.

Parking brake
Use the parking brake when you have to start
the engine or park the machine, especially on a
slope. Apply the rear brake lever and push down
the lock plate to apply the parking brake.
Squeeze the rear brake lever to release the

8Always set the parking brake before start-
ing the engine. The ATV could start mov-
ing unexpectedly if the parking brake is
not applied. This could cause loss of con-
trol or a collision.
8Always be sure you have released the
parking brake before you begin to ride.
The brake could overheat if you ride the
ATV without releasing the parking brake.
You could lose braking performance
which could cause an accident. You could
also wear out the brakes prematurely.

Front and rear brakes
1. Brake levers
Check for correct free play in the brake
levers. If the free play is incorrect, adjust it.
(See pages 8-47 – 8-55.)
Check operation of the levers. They should
move smoothly and there should be a firm
feeling when the brake is applied. If not,
have the machine inspected by a Yamaha
dealer.
2. 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, inspect the brakes for wear.
