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.

Shifting: neutral to reverse
WARNING
Before you shift into reverse, make sure there
are no obstacles or people behind you. When it
is safe to proceed, go slowly. Hitting an obsta-
cle or person could result in serious injury or
death.1. Stop the vehicle, take your foot off the accel-
erator pedal, and check behind you.
2. Apply the brake pedal.
3. Shift from neutral to reverse or vice versa by
moving the drive select lever along the shift
guide.
When in reverse, the reverse indicator
light should be on. Due to the synchroniz-
ing mechanism in the engine, the light
may not come on until the vehicle starts
moving.
If the light does not come on, ask a
Yamaha dealer to inspect the reverse in-
dicator light electrical circuit.

If you start to lose traction or momentum when
climbing, and decide you will be unable to contin-
ue, use the brakes to stop. Do not attempt to turn
the vehicle around. With your foot on the brake
pedal, look behind you and plan your descent.
Shift the drive select lever into reverse so you can
use engine braking to slow your descent. Release
the brake and begin to coast down the hill. Use en-
gine braking as much as possible, gently applying
the brakes when necessary.
Downhill
Check the terrain carefully before going downhill.
When possible, choose a path that lets you drive
your vehicle straight downhill. Choose your path
carefully and drive slowly enough to be able to re-
act to obstacles that you encounter.

Cleaning the spark arrester
WARNING
Hot exhaust system may cause burns. To
avoid burns or fires, make sure that the engine
is stopped and the exhaust system is cool be-
fore cleaning the spark arrester. Do not start
the engine while cleaning the exhaust system.1. Remove the bolts.
2. Remove the tailpipe by pulling it out of the
muffler, and then remove the gasket.
3. Tap the tailpipe lightly, and then use a wire
brush to remove any carbon deposits from
the spark arrester portion of the tailpipe and
inside of the tailpipe housing.
4. Install the gasket, and then insert the tailpipe
into the muffler and align the bolt holes.
