Differential gear oil
Make sure the differential gear oil is at the speci-
fied level. Add oil as necessary. (See pages 8-59–
8-61 for details.)
EBU13160
Coolant
Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir
when the engine is cold. (The coolant level will
vary with engine temperature.) The coolant level is
satisfactory if it is between the minimum and max-
imum level marks on the coolant reservoir. If the
coolant level is at or below the minimum level
mark, add distilled water to bring the level up to the
maximum level mark. Change the coolant every
two years. (See pages 8-63–8-73 for details.)CAUTION:_ Hard water or salt water is harmful to the en-
gine. You may use soft water if you cannot get
distilled water. _
Recommended oil:
SAE 80 API GL-4 Hypoid gear oil

WARNING
_ Wait for the engine and radiator to cool before
removing the radiator cap. You could be
burned by hot fluid and steam blown out under
pressure. Always put a thick rag over the cap
when opening. Allow any remaining pressure
to escape before completely removing the cap. _
EBU01083
Throttle lever
Check to see that the throttle lever operates cor-
rectly. It must open smoothly and spring back to
the idle position when released. Have a Yamaha
dealer repair as necessary for proper operation.
EBU01162
Fittings and fasteners
Always check the tightness of chassis fittings and
fasteners before a ride. Take the machine to a
Yamaha dealer or refer to the Service Manual for
correct tightening torque.Coolant reservoir capacity

Cooling system
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Check the coolant level in the coolant reser-
voir when the engine is cold as the coolant
level will vary with engine temperature.NOTE:_ The coolant level should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks. _

3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level
mark, remove panel D. (See pages 8-19–
8-21 for panel removal and installation proce-
dures.)
4. Remove the reservoir cap, add coolant to the
maximum level mark, install the reservoir
cap, and then install the panel.CAUTION:_ Hard water or salt water is harmful to the en-
gine. You may use soft water if you cannot get
distilled water. _NOTE:_

If water is added, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of the coolant as
soon as possible.


The radiator fan operation is completely auto-
matic. It is switched on or off according to the
coolant temperature in the radiator.
_If your ATV overheats, see page 8-148 for details. Coolant reservoir capacity
