WARNING
EWB02522Gasoline and gasoline vapors are ex-
tremely flammable. To avoid fires and ex-
plosions and to reduce the risk of injury
when refueling, follow these instructions. 1. Before refueling, turn off the engine andbe sure that no one is sitting in the vehi-
cle.
Never refuel while smoking, or while in
the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as the pilot
lights of water heaters and clothes dry-
ers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Because fuel expands when it heats up, heat from the
engine or the sun can cause fuel to spill
out of the fuel tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
4. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed se-
curely.
WARNING
EWB02532Gasoline is poisonous and can cause inju-
ry or death. Handle gasoline with care.
Never siphon gasoline by mouth. If you
should swallow some gasoline or inhale a
lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gasoline
in your eyes, see your doctor immediately.
If gasoline spills on your skin, wash with
soap and water. If gasoline spills on your
clothing, change your clothes. Your Yamaha engine has been designed to
use regular unleaded gasoline with a research
octane number of 91 or higher (95 or higher
for Europe). If knocking or pinging occurs,
use a different brand of gasoline or premium
unleaded gasoline. Unleaded fuel will give
you longer spark plug life and reduced main-
tenance cost.

Portable fuel containers
If you carry a portable fuel container in the
bed of your Yamaha Wolverine, be sure to se-
cure it with the cap tightened before driving
the vehicle.
Always place a portable fuel container on the
ground before filling it. Before removing the
container cap, touch the container with the
fuel dispenser nozzle. Keep fuel dispenser
nozzle in contact with container inlet when fill-
ing. WARNING! Never refill a fuel container
in the bed of any vehicle. Fire may result
from a build-up of static electricity. The discharge of this build-up while refueling
can cause a spark and ignite the gasoline.

EBU31750Engine oilMake sure the engine oil is at the specified
level. Add oil as necessary. (See page 8-14.)NOTICEECB00301

beled “ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.
 Make sure that no foreign material en-
ters the crankcase.

EBU33580Cleaning the air filter elementThe air filter element should be cleaned every
20–40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubri-
cated more often if the vehicle is operated in
extremely dusty areas. Ea ch time air filter ele-
ment maintenance is performed, check the air
inlet to the air filter case for obstructions.
Check the air filter elem ent rubber joint to the
throttle body and manifold fittings for an air-
tight seal. Tighten all fittings securely to avoid
the possibility of unfiltered air entering the en-
gine.
NOTICEECB02270Never operate the engine with the air filter
element removed. Doing so would allow
unfiltered air to enter, causing rapid en-
gine wear and possible engine damage.
Additionally, the fuel injection system
would be affected, re sulting in poor engine
performance and possible overheating. 1. Remove the storage compartment locat- ed between the driver seat and the pas-
senger seat as shown.
