EBU17815Indicator lights and warning light EBU17870Neutral indicator light “NEUTRAL”
This indicator light comes on when the transmis-
sion is in the neutral position.EBU28331Reverse indicator light “REVERSE”
This indicator light comes on when the transmis-
sion is in the reverse position.Furthermore, this indicator light flashes:

when the override switch is being pushed,
when the engine is being raced for 10 seconds
or more.TIPIf the indicator light flashes under any other circum-
stances or the speedometer does not show the
speed while riding, have a Yamaha dealer check
the speed sensor circuit.EBU26932Oil temperature warning light“”
This warning light comes on when the engine over-
heats. When this occurs, stop the engine as soon
as it is safe to do so, and allow it to cool.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”, with the engine
stop switch set to“”, and then pushing the start
switch.
If the warning light does not come on while the start
switch is being pushed, or if the warning light re-
mains on after the start switch is released, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.

NOTICEECB00010
The engine may overheat if the ATV is over-
loaded. In this case, reduce the load to spec-
ification.
Start the engine after making sure that the
warning light is out. Continuous use while
the warning light is on may cause damage to
the engine.EBU29611On-Command four-wheel-drive indicator
light“” and On-Command differential gear
lock indicator light“”
The On-Command four-wheel-drive indicator
light“” comes on when the On-Command four-
wheel-drive switch is set to the “4WD” position.
The On-Command differential gear lock indicator
light“” and the On-Command four-wheel-drive
indicator light“” come on when the On-Com-
mand differential gear lock switch is set to the
“LOCK” position.
TIPDue to the synchronizing mechanism in the differ-
ential gear case, the light may not come on until
the ATV starts moving.EBU18022Speedometer This speedometer is equipped with an odometer
and a tripmeter. The tripmeter can be reset to zero
with the reset knob. Use the tripmeter to estimate
how far you can ride on a tank of fuel before going
to reserve. This information will enable you to plan
fuel stops in the future.

WARNING
EWB00150Always ride at a slow speed when the ATV is in
four-wheel-drive differential gear lock, and al-
low extra time and distance for maneuvers.
All wheels turn at the same speed when the dif-
ferential is locked, so it takes more effort to
turn the ATV. The effort needed to turn increas-
es with the riding speed. You may lose control
and have an accident if you cannot make a
sharp enough turn for the speed you are trav-
eling.EBU28432On-Command four-wheel-drive switch
“2WD”/“4WD”
WARNING
EWB00163Always stop the ATV before changing from
two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive and vice
versa. The ATV handles differently in two-
wheel drive than in four-wheel drive in some
circumstances. Changing from two-wheel
drive to four-wheel drive or vice versa while
moving may cause the ATV to unexpectedlyhandle differently. This could distract the oper-
ator and increase the risk of losing control and
of causing an accident.
This ATV is equipped with a switch to change from
two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive and vice versa.
Select the appropriate drive according to the ter-
rain and the conditions.
“2WD” (two-wheel drive): Power is supplied to
the rear wheels.
“4WD” (four-wheel drive): Power is supplied to
the rear and front wheels.
To change from two-wheel drive to four-wheel
drive, stop the ATV and push the switch in to the
“4WD” position. The four-wheel-drive indicator
light“” comes on.
To change from four-wheel drive to two-wheel
drive, stop the ATV and push the switch in to the
“2WD” position.

EBU28372On-Command differential gear lock switch
“4WD”/“LOCK”
WARNING
EWB00131Always stop the ATV before changing from
four-wheel drive to four-wheel-drive differen-
tial gear lock or vice versa.
The ATV handles differently in four-wheel drive
than in differential gear lock in some circum-
stances. Changing from four-wheel drive to dif-
ferential gear lock or vice versa while moving
may cause the ATV to handle differently unex-pectedly. This could distract the operator and
increase the risk of losing control and causing
an accident.
WARNING
EWB00140Always ride at a slow speed when the ATV is in
differential gear lock, and allow extra time and
distance for maneuvers.
All wheels turn at the same speed when the dif-
ferential gear is locked, so it takes more effort
to turn the ATV. The effort needed to turn in-
creases with the riding speed. You may lose
control and have an accident if you cannot
make a sharp enough turn for the speed you
are traveling.This ATV is equipped with a switch allowing you to
lock the differential gear when in four-wheel drive.
Select the appropriate switch position according to
the terrain and the conditions.
“4WD” (four-wheel drive): Power is supplied to
the rear and front wheels.

“LOCK” (four-wheel drive with the differential
gear locked): Power is supplied to the rear and
front wheels and the differential gear is locked.
Unlike in four-wheel drive, all wheels turn at the
same speed.
To lock the differential gear in four-wheel drive,
make sure the On-Command four-wheel-drive
switch is pushed in to the “4WD” position.Stop the ATV, move the differential gear lock lever
to position (a), and then push the differential gear
lock switch in to the “LOCK” position. When the dif-
ferential gear is locked, the differential gear lock in-
dicator light“” comes on.1. On-Command four-wheel-drive switch “2WD”/“4WD”

To release the differential gear lock, stop the ATV
and push the switch to the “4WD” position.
TIP
If the differential gear lock is not engaging prop-
erly, turn the handlebar back and forth to help it
engage.
Riding before the differential gear lock is proper-
ly engaged will cause the vehicle speed to be
limited until engagement is complete.
When the ATV is in four-wheel-drive differential
gear lock, the maximum traveling speed is limit-
ed to 31 km/h (19 mi/h). However, if conditions
require full engine power to be available, pushand hold the override switch to disable the differ-
ential gear lock speed limiter. (See page 4-5 for
a detailed explanation of this switch.)
EBU18282Throttle lever Once the engine is running, pushing the throttle le-
ver will increase the engine speed.
Regulate the speed of the ATV by varying the
throttle position. Because the throttle is spring-
loaded, the ATV will decelerate, and the engine will
return to an idle any time the throttle lever is re-
leased.
