On-Command differential gear lock indicator
light “DIFF. LOCK”
This indicator light comes on with the On-Com-

Coolant temperature warning light “”
If the coolant temperature reaches a specified lev-
el, this light comes on to warn that the coolant tem-
perature 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 8-154.)
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “” (on). If the
warning light does not come on initially when the
key is turned to “” (on), or if the warning light re-
mains on, have a Yamaha dealer check the electri-
cal circuit.NOTICE

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


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