Parking on a slope
w
Avoid parking on hills or other inclines.
Parking on a hill or other incline could cause
the ATV to roll out of control, increasing the
chance of an accident. If you must park on
an incline, put the machine in low gear, apply
the parking brake, and block the front and
rear wheels with rocks or other objects.
Do not park the ATV at all on hills that are so
steep you could not walk up them easily.
1. Bring the machine to a stop by applying the
brakes in low gear.
2. Stop the engine and release the clutch
lever.
3. With the rear brake applied, apply the park-
ing brake and slowly release the brake
pedal.

8Keep weight uphill.
8Apply the brakes.
8Lock the parking brake, after you are
stopped.
If you begin rolling backwards:
8Keep weight uphill.
8Never apply the rear brake while rolling
backwards. Apply the front brake.
When fully stopped, apply the rear brake
as well, and then lock the parking brake.
Dismount on uphill side or to a side if point-
ed straight uphill. Turn the ATV around and

8Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Mixing fluids may result in a harmful chemi-
cal reaction and lead to poor brake perfor-
mance.
8Be careful that water does not enter the
brake fluid reservoir when refilling. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of the
fluid and may result in vapor lock.
8Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces
or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
8Have a Yamaha dealer check the cause if
the brake fluid level goes down.

nents during periodic maintenance or when they
are damaged or leaking.
8Replace the oil seals every two years.

Operating with improperly adjusted brakes
could cause the brakes to malfunction,
resulting in reduced braking performance.
This could increase the chance of a collision
or accident. After adjusting the parking
brake, block the rear of the machine off the
ground and spin the rear wheels. Check to
make sure there is no brake drag. If brake
drag is noticed, perform the adjustment
again.
