ITEMROUTINE PAGE
Fuel • Check fuel level in fuel tank,
and add recommended fuel if neces-
sary.
• Check fuel line for leakage. Correct if necessary. 5-10, 6-4
Engine oil • Check oil level in engine oil tank, and add recommended oil to
specified level if necessary.
• Check ATV for oil leakage. Correct if necessary. 6-4, 9-13
Coolant • Check coolant level in reservoir, and add recommended coolant to
specified level if necessary.
• Check cooling system for leakage. Correct if necessary. 6-4, 9-18

5. Add coolant to the maximum level mark, and
then install the reservoir cap. NOTICE: If
coolant is not available, use distilled water
or soft tap water instead. Do not use hard
water or salt water since they are harmful
to the engine. If water has been used in-
stead 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 content of the coolant as
soon as possible, otherwise the effective-
ness of the coolant will be reduced.

To change the coolant
WARNING
EWB01891Wait for the engine and radiator to cool before
removing the radiator cap. You could be
burned by hot fluid and steam blown out under
pressure. Always place a thick rag over the cap
when opening. Allow any remaining pressure
to escape before completely removing the cap. 1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove panel A. (See page 9-10.)
3. Place a container under the engine, and then
remove the coolant drain bolt and its gasket.

6. Disconnect the coolant reservoir hose on the
coolant reservoir side, and then drain the
coolant from the coolant reservoir.
7. After draining the coolant, thoroughly flush the cooling system with clean tap water.
8. Install the coolant drain bolt and its new gas- ket, and then tighten the bolt to the specified
torque.

9. Connect the coolant reservoir hose.
10. Pour the recommended coolant into the res- ervoir to the maximum level mark, and then
install the reservoir cap.
11. Pour the recommended coolant into the radi- ator until it is full, and then install the radiator
cap.
12. Start the engine, let it idle for several minutes, and then turn it off.
TIPWhile the engine is idling, check the cooling sys-
tem for leaks. 13. When the engine is cool, remove the radiatorcap to check the coolant level in the radiator.
If it is low, add sufficient coolant until it reach-
es the top of the radiator, and then install the
radiator cap.
14. Install the panel.EBU2680ACleaning the air filter elementThe air filter element should be cleaned at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. Clean or, if necessary, replace
the air filter element more frequently if you are rid-
ing in unusually wet or dusty areas.
TIPThere is a check hose at the bottom of the air filter
case. If dust or water collects in this hose, empty
the hose and clean the air filter element and air fil-
ter case. 1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the seat. (See page 5-12.)

WARNING
EWB02291Wait for the engine and radiator to cool before removing the radiator cap. You could be burned by
hot fluid and steam blown out under pressure. Always put a thick rag over the cap when opening.
Allow any remaining pressure to escape before completely removing the cap. TIP
Tap water can be used in an emergency. Change to the recommended coolant as soon as possible.
 The engine will tend to overheat if the radiator is caked with mud, or if the ATV is overloaded. Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.

and repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See TIP.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again, have a
Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling system.
