Owner’s 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 lin-
ings. If the ATV is operated through deep or
fast flowing water, the tires may float, causing
loss of traction and loss of control, which
could lead to an accident.
Test your brakes after leaving the water. Do not
continue to ride your ATV without verifying that you
have regained proper braking ability.CAUTION:

ECB00240
After riding your ATV in water, be sure to drain
the trapped water by removing the check hose
at the bottom of the air filter case. Wash the
ATV in fresh water if it has been operated in
salt water or muddy conditions.

NOTE:


The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.

Hydraulic brake service

Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.

Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and
change the brake fluid.

Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

Autolube pump
The Autolube pump is a vital part of the engine and
requires very sophisticated adjustment. The Autol-
ube pump should be checked and, if necessary,
adjusted at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart. Any adjusting
should be left to a Yamaha dealer who has the pro-
fessional knowledge and experience to do so.
EBU23781
Cleaning the air filter element
The air filter element should be cleaned at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. Clean the air filter element more
frequently if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty
areas.
NOTE:

There is a check hose at the bottom of the air filter
case. If dust or water collects in this hose, empty
the hose and clean the air filter element and air fil-
ter case.1. Remove the seat. (See page 4-11.)
2. Remove the air filter case cover by removing
the screws.

4. Remove the air filter element out of the air fil-
ter case.
5. Remove the sponge material from the air filter
element frame.6. Wash the sponge material gently but thor-
oughly in solvent.
WARNING
EWB01940
Always use parts cleaning solvent to clean the
sponge material. Never use low-flash-point
solvents or gasoline to clean the sponge mate-
rial because the engine could catch fire or ex-
plode.
7. Squeeze the excess solvent out of the sponge
material and let it dry.

Do not twist the sponge material when squeez-
ing it.
8. Check the sponge material and replace it if
damaged.
9. Apply a quality foam air filter oil to the sponge
material.
NOTE:

The sponge material should be wet but not drip-
ping.
10. Install the sponge material onto the air filter el-
ement frame.11. Install the air filter element into the air filter
case.

13. Install the air filter case cover by installing the
screws.
14. Install the seat.
NOTE:

The air filter element should be cleaned every 20–
40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricated more
often if the ATV is operated in extremely dusty ar-
eas. Each time the air filter element maintenance
is performed, check the air inlet of the air filter case
for obstructions. Check the air filter case rubber
joint to the carburetor fittings and the rubber joint
manifold fittings for an air-tight seal. Tighten all fit-tings securely to avoid the possibility of unfiltered
air entering the engine.
CAUTION:

ECB00460

Make sure that the air filter element is prop-
erly seated in the air filter case.

Never operate the engine with the air filter el-
ement removed. This will allow unfiltered air
to enter the engine, causing rapid engine
wear and possible engine damage. Addition-
ally, operation without the air filter element
will affect carburetor jetting with subsequent
poor performance and possible engine over-
heating.
