The radiator fan turns on and off automatically
according to the coolant temperature.
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank. The display segments of the fuel gauge
disappear from “F” (full) towards “E” (empty) as
the fuel level decreases. When the last segment
starts flashing, approximately 4.0 L (1.06 US gal,
0.88 Imp.gal) of fuel remains. Refuel as soon as
possible.
TIPIf the electrical circuit for the fuel gauge is not
working correctly, all display segments will flash
repeatedly. Have a Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle. Brightness control mode
This mode allows you to adjust the brightness of
the multi-function display when the vehicle is
stopped.
To adjust the brightness1. Push the “SELECT” button for 2 seconds.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
EBU19226Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe operating condition. Always
follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
EWB00482Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equip-
ment damage. Do not operate the vehicle if you find any problem. If a problem cannot be corrected
by the procedures provided in this manual, have the vehicle inspected by a Yamaha dealer. Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
ITEMROUTINE PAGE
Fuel • Check fuel level in fuel tank,
and add recommended fuel if neces-
sary.
• Check fuel line for leakage. Correct if necessary. 5-20, 6-3
Engine oil • Check oil level in engine, and add recommended oil to specified
level if necessary.
• Check ATV for oil leakage. Correct if necessary. 6-3, 9-20
Final gear oil • Check ATV for oil leakage. Correct if necessary. 6-3, 9-25
Differential gear oil • Check ATV for oil leakage. Correct if necessary. 6-3, 9-27
Coolant • Check coolant level in reservoir, and add recommended coolant to
specified level if necessary.
• Check cooling system for leakage. Correct if necessary. 6-3, 9-29

EBU38000FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank
before starting off. Refuel if necessary. (See page
5-20.)EBU19561Engine oilMake sure that the engine oil is at the specified
level. Add oil as necessary. (See page 9-20.)EBU19591Final gear oilMake sure that the final gear oil is at the specified
level. Add oil as necessary. (See page 9-25.)EBU19601Differential gear oilMake sure that the differential gear oil is at the
specified level. Add oil as necessary. (See page
9-27.)EBU19632CoolantMake sure that the coolant is at the specified level.
Add coolant as necessary. (See page 9-29.)
TIPThe coolant level must be checked on a cold en-
gine since the level varies with engine tempera-
ture. EBU29083Front and rear brakesBrake levers and brake pedal
Check that there is no free play in the front and
rear brake levers. If there is free play, have a
Yamaha dealer check the brake system.
 Check for correct free play in the brake pedal. If
the free play is incorrect, adjust it. (See page
9-47.)
 Check the operation of the brake levers and
pedal. They should move smoothly and there
should be a firm feeling when the brakes are ap-
plied. If not, have a Yamaha dealer check the
brake system.
Brake fluid level
Check the brake fluid level. Add fluid if necessary.
(See page 9-44.)

94. Install the drain bolt and its new gasket, and
then tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
5. Refill with the recommended differential gear oil to the brim of the filler hole as shown.
NOTICE: Be sure no foreign material en-
ters the differential gear case.

6. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for damage, and replace it if necessary.
7. Install the oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
8. Check the differential gear case for oil leak- age. If oil is leaking, check for the cause.EBU23472CoolantThe coolant level should be checked regularly. In
addition, the coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.

TIPIf genuine Yamaha coolant is not available, use an
ethylene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion in-
hibitors for aluminum engines and mix with dis-
tilled water at a 1:1 ratio. NOTICEECB02190Mix antifreeze with distilled water only. Howev-
er, if distilled water is not available, soft water
may be used for refilling. Do not use hard water
or salt water since they are harmful to the en-
gine. EBU34201To check the coolant level1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
TIPThe coolant level must be checked on a cold en-
gine since the level varies with engine tempera-
ture. 2. Check the coolant level in the coolant reser- voir.TIPThe coolant should be between the minimum and
maximum level marks.
Recommended coolant:YAMALUBE coolant
Coolant quantity: Coolant reservoir (up to full level):0.24 L (0.25 US qt, 0.21 Imp.qt)
Radiator (including all routes): 1.99 L (2.10 US qt, 1.75 Imp.qt)

93. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level
mark, remove panels A and C to access the
coolant reservoir. (See page 9-10.)
4. Remove the coolant reservoir cap, add cool- ant or distilled water to the maximum level
mark, install the reservoir cap, and then install
the panels. NOTICE: If coolant is not avail-
able, use distilled water or soft tap water
instead. Do not use hard water or salt wa-
ter since they are harmful to the engine. If
water has been used instead of coolant,
replace it with coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the cooling system will not be
protected against frost and corrosion. If
water has been added to the coolant, have
a Yamaha dealer check the antifreeze con-
tent of the coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the effectiveness of the coolant
will be reduced.

TIP The radiator fan is automatically switched on or
off according to the coolant temperature in the
radiator.

ther instructions. 1. Coolant reservoir capCoolant reservoir capacity (up to the maxi-
mum level mark):
