PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
EBU19224Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe operating condition. Always
follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
EWB00481Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equip-
ment damage. Do not operate the vehicle if you find any problem. If a problem cannot be corrected
by the procedures provided in this manual, have the vehicle inspected by a Yamaha dealer.Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
ITEMROUTINE PAGE
Fuel Check fuel level in fuel tank, and add recommended fuel if neces-
sary.
Check fuel line for leakage. Correct if necessary. 4-16, 5-3
Engine oil Check oil level in engine, and add recommended oil to specified lev-
el if necessary.
Check ATV for oil leakage. Correct if necessary. 5-3, 8-22
Final gear oil Check ATV for oil leakage. Correct if necessary. 5-3, 8-27
Differential gear oil Check ATV for oil leakage. Correct if necessary. 5-3, 8-29
Coolant Check coolant level in reservoir, and add recommended coolant to
specified level if necessary.
Check cooling system for leakage. Correct if necessary. 5-3, 8-32

8. Check the differential gear case for oil leak-
age. If oil is leaking, check for the cause.
EBU23470Coolant The coolant level should be checked before each
ride. In addition, the coolant must be changed at
the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.EBU27126To check the coolant level1. Place the ATV on a level surface.TIPThe coolant level must be checked on a cold en-
gine since the level varies with engine tempera-
ture.2. Check the coolant level in the coolant reser- voir.TIPThe coolant should be between the minimum and
maximum level marks.
3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum levelmark, remove panel D to access the coolant
reservoir. (See page 8-10.)
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. If
water has been used instead of coolant, re-
place it with coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the cooling system will not be1. Maximum level mark

8protected 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.
[ECB01011]
TIP●The radiator fan is automatically switched on or
off according to the coolant temperature in the
radiator.●If the engine overheats, see page 8-68 for fur-
ther instructions.EBU27767To 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 panel D. (See page 8-10.)
3. Remove the footboard by removing the bolts
and nuts.

86. Remove the radiator cap.
7. Remove the coolant reservoir cap.
8. Disconnect the coolant reservoir hose on the
coolant reservoir side, and then drain the cool-
ant from the coolant reservoir. 9. After draining the coolant, thoroughly flush the
cooling system with clean tap water.
10. Install the coolant drain bolt and its new gas- ket, and then tighten the bolt to the specified
torque.
11. Connect the coolant reservoir hose.
12. Pour the recommended coolant into the radia- tor until it is full.

13. 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.
[ECB00991]
14. Loosen the water pump air bleed bolt, without removing it, to allow all of the air to escape
from the air bleed bolt hole. 15. When coolant begins to flow out of the bolt
hole, tighten the water pump air bleed bolt to
the specified torque.
16. Remove panel E. (See page 8-10.)
17. Loosen the clamp screw, and then remove the V-belt cooling duct.
Antifreeze/water mixture ratio:
1:1
Recommended antifreeze: High-quality ethylene glycol antifreeze con-
taining corrosion inhibitors for aluminum en-
gines

WARNING
EWB02290Wait 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.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.
Have a Yamaha dealer check
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.
