PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
EBU19220
Pre-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 “Periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart” on page 8-3 to determine which service should be performed by a
Yamaha dealer.
ITEM ROUTINE PAGE
Fuel
Check fuel level in fuel tank, and add recommended fuel if neces-
sary.
Check fuel line for leakage. Correct if necessary.4-8, 5-4
Engine oil
Check oil level in engine, and add recommended oil to specified
level if necessary.
Check ATV for oil leakage. Correct if necessary.5-4, 8-14
Coolant
Check coolant level in reservoir, and add recommended coolant to
specified level if necessary.
Check cooling system for leakage. Correct if necessary.5-4, 8-20
Front brake
Check operation. If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed
hydraulic system.
Check brake pads for wear, and replace if necessary.
Check brake fluid level in reservoir, and add recommended brake
fluid to specified level if necessary.
Check hydraulic system for leakage. Correct if necessary.5-4, 8-31, 8-32, 8-36

3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level
mark, remove panel A. (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:
ECB00400
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 engine may not be sufficiently
cooled and the cooling system will not be
protected 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 will
be reduced.
NOTE:
If the engine overheats, see page 8-52 for further
instructions.

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 pressure
to escape before completely removing the cap.
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove panel A. (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.)
4. Remove the radiator cap.5. Remove the coolant reservoir by removing the
bolts.
6. Remove the coolant reservoir cap, and then
turn the coolant reservoir upside down to
empty it.

7. After draining the coolant, thoroughly flush the
cooling system with clean tap water.
8. Install the coolant reservoir by installing the
bolts.
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. Pour the recommended coolant into the reser-
voir to the maximum level mark, and then in-
stall the reservoir cap.
11. Pour the recommended coolant into the radia-
tor until it is full.CAUTION:

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.

Engine overheating
WARNING
EWB02290
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.
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.
