10. Install panels D and E.
11. Install the engine oil drain bolt, and then tight-
en it to the specified torque.12. Add the specified amount of the recommend-
ed engine oil, and then install and tighten the
engine oil filler cap.
NOTE:Be sure to wipe off spilled oil on any parts after theengine and exhaust system have cooled down.CAUTION:ECB00300
In order to prevent clutch slippage (since the
engine oil also lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do not use oils
with a diesel specification of “CD” or oils of
a higher quality than specified. In addition,
do not use oils labeled “ENERGY CONSERV-
ING II” or higher.

Make sure that no foreign material enters thecrankcase.
13. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several
minutes while checking it for oil leakage. If oil
is leaking, immediately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
14. Turn the engine off, wait at least ten minutes,
and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
15. Install panel F.EBU27302Final gear oil The final gear case must be checked for oil leak-
age before each ride. If any leakage is found, have
a Yamaha dealer check and repair the ATV. In ad-
dition, the final gear oil level must be checked and
the oil changed as follows at the intervals specified
in the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart.
To check the final gear oil level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.NOTE:The final gear oil level must be checked on a coldengine.2. Remove the final gear oil level check bolt, and
then check the oil level in the final gear case.
NOTE:The oil level should be at the brim of the checkhole.
3. If the oil is below the brim of the check hole,
remove the final gear oil filler bolt, and then
add sufficient oil of the recommended type to
raise it to the correct level.1. Final gear oil

and then tighten them to the specified torques.
To change the final gear oil
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Place an oil pan under the final gear case to
collect the used oil.3. Remove the final gear oil filler bolt, final gear
oil level check bolt, and the final gear oil drain
bolt to drain the oil from the final gear case.
4. Install the drain bolt, and then tighten it to the
specified torque.
5. Add the recommended final gear oil to the
brim of the check hole as shown.

is leaking, check for the cause.
EBU23421Differential gear oil The differential gear case must be checked for oil
leakage before each ride. If any leakage is found,
have a Yamaha dealer check and repair the ATV.
In addition, the differential gear oil level must be
checked and the oil changed as follows at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the differential gear oil level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.NOTE:The differential gear oil level must be checked ona cold engine.

sufficient oil of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.

NOTE:The coolant level must be checked on a cold en-
gine since the level varies with engine tempera-ture.
2. Check the coolant level in the coolant reser-
voir.NOTE:The coolant should be between the minimum andmaximum level marks.3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level
mark, remove panel D. (See page 8-9.)
4. Remove the reservoir cap, add coolant or dis-
tilled water to the maximum level mark, install
the reservoir cap, and then install the panel.
CAUTION:ECB00401
If coolant is not available, use distilled water
or soft tap water instead. Do not use hard wa-
ter or salt water since it is harmful to the en-
gine.
If water has been used instead of coolant, re-
place it with coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the cooling system will not be pro-
tected against frost and corrosion.
If water has been added to the coolant, have
a Yamaha dealer check the antifreeze con-
tent of the coolant as soon as possible, oth-
erwise the effectiveness of the coolant willbe reduced.

NOTE:
The radiator fan is automatically switched on or
off according to the coolant temperature in the
radiator.
If the engine overheats, see page 8-57 for fur-ther instructions.EBU23602To change the coolant
WARNING
EWB01890Wait 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 place a thick rag over the cap
when opening. Allow any remaining pressureto escape before completely removing the cap.
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove panels E and F. (See page 8-9.)
3. Place a container under the engine, and then
remove the coolant drain bolt. (Use a trough
or a similar object as shown to prevent coolant
from spilling on the footrest.)
4. Remove the front carrier and panel C. (See
page 8-9.)
