EBU17843Reverse indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the transmis-
sion is in the reverse position.
Furthermore, this indicator light flashes when the
engine is being raced for 10 seconds or more.TIPIf the indicator light flashes under any other cir-
cumstances or the speedometer does not show
the speed while riding, have a Yamaha dealer
check the speed sensor circuit. EBU17971Park indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the transmis-
sion is in the park position.EBU17921Coolant temperature warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the engine
overheats. When this occurs during operation,
stop the engine as soon as it is safe to do so and
allow it to cool down for about 10 minutes.
NOTICEECB00011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. EBU29062Electric Power Steering warning light “EPS”
(for EPS model)
This warning light comes on when the key is
turned to “ON”, and then goes off once the engine
is started. If the warning light remains on or comes
on after the engine is started, the EPS system may
not be working correctly. When this occurs, have
a Yamaha dealer check the EPS system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”. If the warning
light does not come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.

ter since they are harmful to the engine. If
water has been used instead of coolant,
replace it with coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the cooling system will not be
protected 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.
[ECB01012]
TIP
The radiator fan is automatically switched on or
off according to the coolant temperature in the
radiator.
 If the engine overheats, see page 8-65 for fur-
ther instructions. EBU23608To change the coolant
WARNING
EWB01891Wait 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 the front carrier and panel B. (See
page 8-10.)
3. Remove the radiator cap.
1. Coolant reservoir capCoolant reservoir capacity (up to the maxi-
mum level mark): 0.25 L (0.26 US qt, 0.22 Imp.qt)

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.
