result when the outer covering of control
cables becomes damaged. Cables can
also become frayed or kinked.Lubricate the cable ends. If the cables do not
operate smoothly, ask a Yamaha dealer to re-
place them.

1-CLEANING AND STORAGE
CleaningFrequent, thorough cleaning of your vehicle
will not only enhance its appearance but will
improve its general performance and extend
the useful life of many components. 1. Before cleaning the vehicle:
a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipeto prevent water entry. A plastic bag
and strong rubber band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plug and all filler caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively greasy,
apply degreaser with a paint brush. Do
not apply degreaser to the wheel axles. 3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a
garden hose. Use only enough pressure
to do the job. WARNING! Test the
brakes after washing. Apply the
brakes several times at slow speeds
to let friction dry out the linings. Wet
brakes may have reduced stopping
ability, increasing the chance of an ac-
cident. NOTICE: Excessive water
pressure may cause water seepage
and deterioration of wheel bearings,
brakes, transmission seals and elec-
trical devices. Many expensive repair
bills have resulted from improper
high-pressure detergent applications,
such as those available in coin-oper-
ated car washers.1XP7B_EE.book Page 1 Tuesday, February 4, 2014 3:40 PM

The figures quoted are emission levels and
are not necessarily safe working levels. Whilst
there is a correlation between the emission
and exposure levels, this cannot be used reli-
ably to determine whether or not further pre-
cautions are required.
Factors that influence the actual level of expo-
sure of work-force include the characteristics
of the work room, the other sources of noise,
etc. i.e. the number of machines and other ad-
jacent processes, and the length of time for
which an operator is exposed to the noise.
Also the permissible exposure level can vary
