EBU25741TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha ATVs receive a thorough in-
spection before shipment from the factory, trouble
may occur during operation. Any problem in the
fuel, compression, or ignition systems, for exam-
ple, can cause poor starting and loss of power.
The following troubleshooting charts represent
quick and easy procedures for checking these vi-
tal systems yourself. However, should your ATV
require any repair, take it to a Yamaha dealer,
whose skilled technicians have the necessary
tools, experience, and know-how to service the
ATV properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replacement parts. Im-
itation parts may look like Yamaha parts, but they
are often inferior, have a shorter service life and
can lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING
EWB02281Do not smoke when checking the fuel system.
Fuel can ignite or explode, causing severe inju-
ry or property damage. Make sure there are no
open flames or sparks in the area, including pi-
lot lights from water heaters or furnaces. U2LB61E0.book Page 66 Friday, February 21, 2014 3:03 PM

EBU30402For Europe only
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 reliably to determine
whether or not further precautions are required.
Factors that influence the actual level of exposure
of work-force include the characteristics of the
work room, the other sources of noise, etc. i.e. the
number of machines and other adjacent process-
es, and the length of time for which an operator is
exposed to the noise. Also the permissible expo-
sure level can vary from country. This information,
however, will enable the user of the machine to
make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.
