WARNING
EWB00073Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can
cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nau-
sea, confusion, and eventually death.
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless,
tasteless gas which may be present even if you
do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly
and you can quickly be overcome and unable
to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can linger for hours or days in en-
closed or poorly ventilated areas. If you experi-
ence any symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning, leave the area immediately, get
fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.
Do not run engine indoors. Even if you try to
ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open
windows and doors, carbon monoxide can
rapidly reach dangerous levels.
Do not run engine in poorly ventilated or par-
tially enclosed areas such as barns, garages,
or carports.
Do not run engine outdoors where engine
exhaust can be drawn into a building through
openings such as windows and doors.

EBU30511Electric Power Steering warning light “EPS”
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 sys-
tem may not be working correctly. When this oc-
curs, 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.TIPIf the engine is stopped using the engine stop
switch and the key is in the “ ” (on) position,
the EPS warning light comes on to indicate that
the power assistance for the steering is not
functioning.
If the steering load is too heavy (i.e., excessive
steering use when the ATV is traveling at a slow
speed), the power assist is reduced to protect
the EPS motor from overheating.
EBU38100Four-wheel drive icon “ ”, differential gear
lock icon “ ” and indicator light “ ”
The four-wheel drive icon “ ” comes on when the
drivetrain is set to “4WD” (four-wheel drive).
The differential gear lock icon “ ” and the differ-
ential gear lock indicator light “ ” come on
when the drivetrain is set to “4WD” with the differ-
ential gear locked.TIPDue to the synchronizing mechanism in the dif-
ferential gear case, the four-wheel drive icon
may not come on until the ATV starts moving.
When the On-Command differential gear lock
switch is set to “LOCK” or “4WD”, the “ ” icon
and the “ ” indicator light will flash until the
differential gear is completely locked or un-
locked. Turn the handlebar or start moving to
help the differential lock to engage or disen-
gage.

EBU18192Override switch “OVERRIDE”
Top speed is normally limited when operating in
differential gear lock. If conditions require more
engine power when riding forward, push and hold
this switch to override the differential gear lock
speed limiting function. (See page 4-13.) Releas-
ing the switch restores the speed limiting function.
While the override switch is pushed, the segments
of the speedometer digits will appear as shown in
the figure.
TIPIf the digits of the speedometer appear as shown
when the switch is NOT being pushed, this could
indicate a malfunction in the electrical system. In
this case, take the ATV to a Yamaha dealer at the
first opportunity.
WARNING
EWB00151Always ride at a slow speed when the ATV is in
four-wheel-drive differential gear lock, and al-
low extra time and distance for maneuvers.
All wheels turn at the same speed when the dif-
ferential is locked, so it takes more effort to
turn the ATV. The effort needed to turn increas-
es with the riding speed. You may lose control
and have an accident if you cannot make a
sharp enough turn for the speed you are trav-
eling. EBU2660AOn-Command drive switch “2WD/4WD”
Stop the ATV and push this switch to change from
two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive or vice versa.
Select the appropriate drive according to the ter-
rain and riding conditions.

“2WD” (two-wheel drive): power is supplied to
the rear wheels only, giving a smooth ride and
fuel economy.
“4WD” (four-wheel drive): power is supplied to
the front and rear wheels, giving increased trac-
tion.
WARNING
EWB00164Always stop the ATV before changing from
two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive and vice
versa. The ATV handles differently in two-
wheel drive than in four-wheel drive in some
circumstances. Changing from two-wheel
drive to four-wheel drive or vice versa while
moving may cause the ATV to unexpectedly
handle differently. This could distract the oper-
ator and increase the risk of losing control and
of causing an accident. EBU30467On-Command drive switch “4WD/LOCK”
Stop the ATV and push this switch to change from
standard four-wheel drive to four-wheel drive with
the differential locked. Select the appropriate
switch position according to the terrain and the
conditions.
“4WD” (four-wheel drive): power is supplied to
the front and rear wheels, with the front differen-
tial unlocked.
“LOCK” (four-wheel drive with the differential
gear locked): power is supplied to the front and
rear wheels and the differential gear is locked.
Unlike in four-wheel drive, all wheels turn at the
same speed, giving maximum traction.
WARNING
EWB00132Always stop the ATV before changing from
four-wheel drive to four-wheel-drive differen-
tial gear lock or vice versa.
The ATV handles differently in four-wheel drive
than in differential gear lock in some circum-
stances. Changing from four-wheel drive to
differential gear lock or vice versa while mov-
ing may cause the ATV to handle differently un-
expectedly. This could distract the operator
and increase the risk of losing control and
causing an accident.

4To access the “4WD/LOCK” switch, set the
“2WD/4WD” switch to “4WD”, and then move the
drive switch lock lever to the right.
TIPWhen the switch is set to “LOCK” or “4WD”, the
differential gear lock icon and indicator light will
flash until the differential gear is completely
locked or unlocked.
When the icon and indicator light are flashing,
turning the handlebar back and forth will help
the differential gear lock to engage or disen-
gage.
Riding before the differential gear is properly en-
gaged or disengaged (e.g., when the icon and
indicator light are flashing) will cause the vehicle
speed to be limited until the differential gear is
completely engaged or disengaged.
When the ATV is in four-wheel-drive differential
gear lock, the maximum traveling speed is limit-
ed to 35 km/h (22 mi/h). However, if conditions
require full engine power to be available, push
and hold the override switch to disable the dif-
ferential gear lock speed limiter. (See page
4-12.)
WARNING
EWB00141Always ride at a slow speed when the ATV is in
differential gear lock, and allow extra time and
distance for maneuvers.
All wheels turn at the same speed when the dif-
ferential gear is locked, so it takes more effort
to turn the ATV. The effort needed to turn in-
creases with the riding speed. You may lose
control and have an accident if you cannot
make a sharp enough turn for the speed you
are traveling.
