PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
EBU19221Pre-operation check list Before operating this ATV, be sure to check the items listed in the following table.NOTE:The maintenance of some items in the table has to be performed by a Yamaha dealer. Refer to the periodicmaintenance charts on page 8-3 to determine which service should be performed by a Yamaha dealer.
ITEM ROUTINE PAGE
FuelCheck fuel level in fuel tank, and add recommended fuel if neces-
sary.
Check fuel line for leakage. Correct if necessary.4-16, 5-3
Engine oilCheck oil level in engine, and add recommended oil to specified lev-
el if necessary.
Check ATV for oil leakage. Correct if necessary.5-3, 8-22
Final gear oilCheck ATV for oil leakage. Correct if necessary. 5-3, 8-26
Differential gear oilCheck ATV for oil leakage. Correct if necessary. 5-3, 8-28
CoolantCheck coolant level in reservoir, and add recommended coolant to
specified level if necessary.
Check cooling system for leakage. Correct if necessary.5-3, 8-30
Front brakeCheck operation. If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hy-
draulic system.
Check brake pads for wear, and replace if necessary.

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 8-8.)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.1. Maximum level mark

cooling system with clean tap water.
9. Replace the coolant drain bolt washer if it is
damaged, install the coolant drain bolt, and
then tighten it to the specified torque.
10. Connect the coolant reservoir hose.
11. Pour the recommended coolant into the radia-
tor until it is full.12. Pour the recommended coolant into the reser-
voir to the maximum level mark, and then in-
stall the reservoir cap.
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.

8Engine overheating
WARNING
EWB02290Wait 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.NOTE:If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the rec-ommended coolant as soon as possible.Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer check
and repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See NOTE.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again, have a
Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling system.
There is
leakage.
There is
no leakage.
