Throttle lever
Once the engine is running, movement of the
throttle lever will increase the engine speed.
Regulate the speed of the machine by varying
the throttle position. Because the throttle is
spring-loaded, the machine will decelerate, and
the engine will return to an idle any time the
hand is removed from the throttle lever.
Before starting the engine, check the throttle to
be sure it is operating smoothly. Make sure it
returns to the idle position as soon as the lever
is released.
w
Malfunction of the throttle could make it diffi-
cult to speed up or slow down when you
need to. This could cause an accident.
Check the operation of the throttle lever
before you start the engine. If the throttle
does not work smoothly, check for the
cause. Correct the problem before riding the
ATV or consult a Yamaha dealer.

During operation
Always keep your feet on the footboards during
operation. Otherwise your feet may contact the
rear wheels.
w
Always keep both hands on the handlebars
and both feet on the footboards of your ATV
during operation. Removing even one hand
or foot can reduce your ability to control the
ATV or could cause you to lose your balance
and fall off of the ATV. If you remove a foot
from a footboard, your foot or leg may come
into contact with the rear wheels, which
could injure you or cause an accident.

Engine oil
The engine oil level should be checked before
each ride. In addition, the oil must be changed
at the intervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
Engine oil level measurement
1. Place the machine on a level surface.
2. Warm up the engine for several minutes and
stop it.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil level settles,
remove the oil filler cap, wipe off the dipstick
clean. Insert the dipstick in the filler hole
without screwing it in.
NOTE:
Wait a few minutes until the oil level settles
before checking.
4. Remove the dipstick and inspect the oil
level.
5. The oil level should be between the maxi-
mum and minimum marks. If the level is low,
add oil to raise it to the proper level.
