WARNING
EWB03400Do not reverse the rims on your Yamaha
Wolverine to widen the track width. Install-
ing wheels improperly increases the risk of
wheel failure and accidents. EBU32640BatteryThe battery is located under the hood. (See
page 8-10 for hood removal and installation
procedures.)
This model is equipped with a VRLA (Valve
Regulated Lead Acid) battery. There is no
need to check the electrolyte or to add dis-
tilled water. However, the battery lead con-
nections need to be checked and, if
necessary, tightened.
WARNING
EWB03410Avoid battery contact with skin, eyes, or
clothing. Shield eyes when working near
batteries. Keep out of reach of children.
You could be poisoned or severely burned
by the sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte. In
case of accidental contact with battery
electrolyte:
EXTERNAL: Flush with water.
INTERNAL: Drink large quantities of water
or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia,
beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Get prompt
medical attention.
EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes and
get prompt medical attention.
Tightening torques:Front wheel nut:75 N·m (7.5 kgf·m, 54 lb·ft)
Rear wheel nut: 75 N·m (7.5 kgf·m, 54 lb·ft)

electrical circuit in question.
NOTICEECB00641To prevent accidental short-circuiting,
turn off the main switch when checking or
replacing a fuse. 2. Remove the hood. (See page 8-10 forhood removal and installation proce-
dures.)
3. Remove the blown fuse, and then install a new fuse of the specified amperage.
WARNING! Always use a fuse of the specified amperage. Never use any
material in place of the proper fuse.
Using an improper fuse can cause
damage to the electrical system and
may lead to a fire.

CLEANING AND STORAGE
EBU33681CleaningFrequent, thorough cleaning of your vehicle
will not only enhance its appearance but will
improve its general performance and extend
the useful life of many components.1. Before cleaning the vehicle: a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipeto prevent water entry. A plastic bag
and strong rubber band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plug and all filler caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively greasy, apply degreaser with a paint brush. Do
not apply degreaser to the wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden hose. Use only enough pressure
to do the job. WARNING! Test the
brakes after washing. Apply the
brakes several times at slow speeds to
let friction dry the brakes. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability, in-
creasing the chance of an accident.
[EWB03471]

NOTICE: Excessive water pres-
sure may cause water seepage and
deterioration of wheel bearings,
brakes, transmission seals and electri-
cal devices. Many expensive repair
bills have resulted from improper high-
pressure detergent applications such
as those available in coin-operated car
washers.
[ECB00712]
TIPThe tailgate can be removed to make it easier
to clean the cargo bed. To separate the tail-
gate from the cargo bed, unhook the latches,
and then pull up the tailgate. (See page 4-21
for tailgate removal and installation proce-
dures.)

Remove the spark plug wire and ground
it. Operate the electric starter to turn the
engine over several times and coat the
cylinder walls with oil.
3. Lubricate all control cables.
4. Put the frame on stands or blocks to raise
all wheels off the ground.
5. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe
outlet to prevent moisture from entering.
6. If storing in a humid or salt-air atmo- sphere, coat all exposed metal surfaces
with a light film of oil. Do not apply oil to
any rubber parts or the seat covers.
7. Remove the battery and charge it. Store
it in a dry place and recharge it once a
month. Do not store the battery in an ex-
cessively warm or cold place [less than 0
°C (30 °F) or more than 30 °C (90 °F)].
Use of fuel stabilizer eliminates the need to
drain the fuel system. Consult a Yamaha
dealer if the fuel system needs to be drained.
