and/or turn the steering wheel back and
forth to help the differential to lock or un-
lock. EBU34931Shift timing indicator light
This indicator light can be set to come on and
go off at the desired engine speeds and is
u s ed t o i n fo rm t h e dr iv er wh e n it i s ti m e t o u p -
shift.
The electrical circuit of the indicator light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the indicator light does not come on initially
when the key is turned to “ ” (on), or if the
indicator light remains on, have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.TIPSee page 4-16 for a detailed explanation of
this indicator light and how to set it.
EBU35283Coolant temperature warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the coolant
temperature, and therefore the engine, is out-
side its normal operating temperature range.
The warning light comes on in blue to inform
the driver that the vehicle should be warmed
up. After the engine is started, warm it up until
the warning light goes off.
The vehicle can be operated normally when
the warning light is off.
The warning light comes on in red when the
engine is overheating. If the red light comes
on, stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so and allow the engine to idle for about 10
minutes. If the warning light does not go off,
stop the engine and allow it to cool. (See page
8-71.)TIPIf you continue to drive the vehicle while the
engine is overheating, a buzzer will sound.

The coolant temperature warning light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on).
The warning light should come on in purple
briefly (which confirms that both the blue
and red indicators are okay) and then go
off. If the warning light does not come on at
all, comes on in red or blue, or if the warning
light remains on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle. NOTICEECB02040The engine may overheat if the vehicle is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the
load to specification.
After restarting, make sure that the
warning light is out. Continuous use
while this warning light is on may cause
damage to the engine.
EBU31341Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on or flashes if a
problem is detected in the electrical circuit
monitoring the engine. When this occurs, the
display will indicate an error code (see page
4-19). Have a Yamaha dealer check the self-
diagnosis 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 initially
when the key is turned to “ ” (on), or if the
warning light remains on, have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle.EBU33041Electric Power Steering warning light

NOTICEECB03020Do not use oils with a diesel specifica-
tion of “CD” or oils of a higher quality
than specified. In addition, do not use
oils labeled “ENERGY CONSERVING II”
or higher.
Make sure that no foreign material en-
ters the oil tank. EBU35322TransmissionMake sure there is no oil leaking from the
transmission case.EBU31761CoolantCheck the coolant level in the reservoir and
replenish if necessary. (See page 8-36.)
EBU36020Final gearMake sure there is no oil leaking from the final
gear case.EBU36030Differential gearMake sure there is no oil leaking from the dif-
ferential gear case.EBU31791Accelerator pedalBefore starting the engine, confirm that the
accelerator pedal operates correctly. It
should depress smoothly and spring back to
the idle position when released. Also check
the accelerator pedal for excessive free play.
If the accelerator pedal is not in correct work-
ing order, have the vehicle inspected before
starting off.
Recommended engine oil type and quantity:
See page 10-1.

10–20 hours:
Avoid prolonged operation above 6300 r/min.
After break-in:
The vehicle may now be operated normally.EBU36560Starting the engine1. Turn the key to “ ” (on).NOTICEECB03340The coolant temperature warning light,
YCC-S system warning light, and engine
trouble warning light should come on, then
go off.
The EPS warning light should come on,
then go off when the engine is started.
To avoid possible damage, do not operate
the vehicle if a warning light does not work
as described above. 2. Press the brake pedal.
3. Shift the transmission into neutral.
When the transmission is in the neutral
position, the transmission gear display
shows “N” and the neutral indicator
light should come on.
The engine can be started in any gear if
the brake pedal is applied. However, it
is recommended to shift into neutral
before starting the engine.
4. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, start the engine by turning the key to “ ”
(start).
If the engine fails to start, release the key, and
then try starting it again. Wait a few seconds
before the next attempt. Each attempt should
be as short as possible, to preserve battery
energy. NOTICE: Do not crank the engine
more than 5 seconds on each attempt, or
starter damage could occur. Wait at least
5 seconds between each operation of the
electric starter to let it cool.
[ECB02140]
Do not turn the key to the “ ” (start) position
with the engine running; otherwise, damage
to the electric starter may result.
