EBU30571Electric Power Steering warning light “EPS”
(for EPS model)
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.TIP
If 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.
EBU17955Four-wheel drive indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the drivetrain
is set to “4WD” (four-wheel drive).TIPDue to the synchronizing mechanism in the differ-
ential gear case, the light may not come on until
the ATV starts moving.

the lights.NOTICEECB00046Do not use the headlights with the engine
turned off for an extended period of time. The
battery may discharge to the point that the
starter will not have enough power to crank the
engine. If this should happen, remove the bat-
tery and recharge it. (See page 8-52.) EBU18171Horn switch “ ”

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 maximum 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.

EBU37980Fuel tank capRemove the fuel tank cap by turning it counter-
clockwise.
WARNING
EWB02522Gasoline and gasoline vapors are extremely
flammable. To avoid fires and explosions and
to reduce the risk of injury when refueling, fol-
low these instructions. 1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and besure that no one is sitting on the vehicle. Nev-
er refuel while smoking, or while in the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or other sources of
ignition such as the pilot lights of water heat-
ers and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the pump nozzle into the fuel
tank filler hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler tube. Because
fuel expands when it heats up, heat from the
engine or the sun can cause fuel to spill out of
the fuel tank.1. Fuel tank cap

EBU19185Auxiliary DC jackA 12-V accessory, such as a work light or radio
with the proper adapter, can be used when the en-
gine is running and the headlights are turned off.1. Start the engine. (See page 6-1.)
2. Turn the headlights off. (See page 4-7.)
3. Turn the accessory off.
4. Open the auxiliary DC jack cap.
5. Insert the accessory power plug into the jack. 6. Turn the accessory on.
TIP
When inserting or removing the accessory pow-
er plug, turn the accessory off.
 When the auxiliary DC jack is not being used,
cover it with the cap. NOTICEECB00121Do not use accessories requiring more than
the above maximum capacity. This may
overload the circuit and cause the fuse to
blow.
 If accessories are used without the engine
running or with the headlights turned on, the
battery will lose its charge and engine start-
ing may become difficult.
 Do not use an automotive cigarette lighter or
other accessories with a plug that gets hot
because the jack can be damaged. EBU37290Winch pre-wiringThis vehicle is equipped with pre-wiring leads for
