Coolant temperature warning light “”
When the coolant temperature reaches a specified
level, this light comes on to warn that the coolant
temperature is too hot. If the light comes on during
operation, stop the engine as soon as it is safe to
do so and allow the engine to cool down for about
10 minutes. (See page 8-140.)CAUTION:_

The engine may overheat if the vehicle is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the
load to specification.


After restarting, make sure that the light is
out. Continuous use while the light is on
may cause damage to the engine.

NOTE:_

When the switch is set to “LOCK”, the differ-
ential gear lock indicator and indicator light
will flash until the differential gear is locked.


When the indicator and indicator light are
flashing, turning the steering wheel back and
forth will help the differential gear lock to en-
gage.


Riding before the differential gear lock is
properly engaged (e.g., when the indicator
and indicator light are flashing) will cause the
engine speed to be limited until engagement
is complete.

EVU01290
Accelerator pedal
Press the accelerator pedal down to increase en-
gine speed. Spring pressure returns the pedal to
the rest position when released. Always check that
the accelerator pedal returns normally before start-
ing the engine.
Before starting the engine, check the accelerator
pedal to be sure it is operating smoothly. Make
sure the accelerator pedal fully returns to the idle
position as soon as it is released.
WARNING
Malfunction of the accelerator pedal could
make it difficult to speed up or slow down
when you need to. This could cause an acci-
dent. Check the operation of the accelerator
pedal before you start the engine. If the accel-
erator pedal does not work smoothly, check
for the cause. Correct the problem before oper-
ating the vehicle or consult a Yamaha dealer.

tion. (See pages 6-3–6-7.)

CAUTION:_

Do not use accessories requiring more
than the above maximum capacity. This
may overload the circuit and cause the
fuse to blow.


If accessories are used without the engine
running or with the headlights turned on,
the battery will lose its charge and engine
starting may become difficult.


Do not use an automotive cigarette lighter
or other accessories with a plug that gets
