TIPThe coolant should be between the minimum and
maximum level marks.3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level
mark, remove panel D. (See page 8-8.)
4. Remove the coolant reservoir cap, add cool-
ant or distilled water to the maximum level
mark, install the reservoir cap, and then install
the panel. NOTICE: If coolant is not avail-
able, use distilled water or soft tap water
instead. Do not use hard water or salt wa-
ter since they are harmful to the engine. Ifwater has been used instead of coolant, re-
place it with coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise 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,
otherwise the effectiveness of the coolant
will be reduced.

TIPThe radiator fan is automatically switched on or
off according to the coolant temperature in the
radiator.If the engine overheats, see page 8-63 for fur-
ther instructions.EBU27762To 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 pressure
to escape before completely removing the cap.1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove panels D and F. (See page 8-8.)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 engine guard.) Coolant reservoir capacity (up to the maximum
level mark):
0.24 L (0.25 US qt, 0.21 Imp.qt)

810. 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. NOTICE: Mix
antifreeze with distilled water only. Howev-
er, if distilled water is not available, soft
water may be used for refilling. Do not use
hard water or salt water since they are
harmful to the engine.

13. Loosen the water pump air bleed bolt, without
removing it, to allow all of the air to escape
from the air bleed bolt hole.
14. When coolant begins to flow out of the bolt
hole, tighten the water pump air bleed bolt to
the specified torque.
15. Remove panel E. (See page 8-8.)
16. Loosen the clamp screw, and then remove the
V-belt cooling duct. Antifreeze/water mixture ratio:

out removing it, to allow all of the air to escape
from the air bleed bolt hole.18. When coolant begins to flow out of the bolt

822. Stop the engine and allow it to cool. If the cool-
ant level has dropped after the engine has
cooled, add sufficient coolant until it reaches
the top of the radiator, and then install the ra-
diator cap.
23. Start the engine, and then check for coolant
leakage.
TIPIf any leakage is found, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cooling system.24. Install the V-belt cooling duct, and then tighten
the clamp screw.
25. Install the panels.EBU27805Cleaning the air filter element The air filter element should be cleaned at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. Clean or, if necessary, replace
the air filter element more frequently if you are
riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.TIPThere are two check hoses at the bottom of the air
filter case, which are located behind panels D and
E. (See page 8-8 for an explanation on removingthe panels.) Check the hoses periodically and, if
dust or water collects in them, empty them and
clean the air filter element and air filter case.

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.TIPIf 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.

and repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See TIP.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again, have a
Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling system.
