maintaining and lubricating your ma chine, consult your Yamaha dealer.
• Periodic inspection is essential in making full use of the machine performance. The service life of
the parts varies substantially according to the en vironment in which the machine runs (e.g., rain,
dirt, etc.). Therefore, earlier inspection is required by reference to the list below.
