understand, ask your Yamaha dealer.
WARNING
EWB00632Read the Owner’s Manual carefully to become
familiar with all controls in order to help pre-
vent any loss of control, which could cause an
accident or injury. EBU30561Starting the engineNOTICEECB00151See the “Engine break-in” section on page 6-4
prior to operating the engine for the first time. 1. Turn the key to “ ” (on) and the engine stopswitch to “ ”.
The following warning lights should come on
for a few seconds, then go off.
Coolant temperature warning light 
Engine trouble warning light
The EPS warning light should come on, then
go off when the engine is started. (for EPS
model)
NOTICEECB00825If a warning light does not go off, see page 4-2
for the corresponding warning light circuit
check. To avoid possible damage, do not oper-
ate the ATV if a warning light stays on. 2. Apply the brake pedal, and then shift the drive select lever into the neutral or park position.
The corresponding indicator light should
come on. If the indicator light does not come
on, have a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.TIPThis model is equipped with an ignition circuit cut-
off system. The engine can be started under the
following conditions:
The drive select lever is in the neutral or park po-
sition.

6. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for damage,
and replace it if necessary.
7. Install the oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
8. Check the differential gear case for oil leak- age. If oil is leaking, check for the cause.
EBU23471CoolantThe 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.EBU34201To check the coolant level1. Park 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.
Recommended differential gear oil:See page 10-1.
Tightening torque: Differential gear oil filler bolt:23 Nm (2.3 m·kgf, 17 ft·lbf)

83. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level
mark, remove panels A and C 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 panels. 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,
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.

TIP The radiator fan is automatically switched on or
off according to the coolant temperature in the
radiator.
 If the engine overheats, see page 8-66 for fur-
ther instructions. 1. Coolant reservoir capCoolant reservoir capacity (up to the maxi-
mum level mark):

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. Park the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove panels A, B, C, and D. (See page8-10.)
3. Remove the footboard by removing the bolts and nuts. 4. Remove the radiator cap.

6. Place a container under the coolant reservoir
to collect the used coolant.
7. Remove the coolant reservoir cap.
8. Disconnect the coolant reservoir hose on the coolant reservoir side, and then drain the
coolant 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 radi-
ator until it is full.
13. Pour the recommended coolant into the res- ervoir to the maximum level mark, and then
install the reservoir cap. NOTICE: Mix anti-
freeze with distilled water only. However, 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.
