Parking on a slope
The parking brake is located on the rear drive
shaft. When the drivetrain is in “2WD” mode,
only the rear wheels will be locked. Therefore,
switch the drive mode to “DIFF. LOCK” be-
fore stopping the engine to lock all four
wheels when parking. In addition to the park-
ing brake, leave the transmission in gear to
help prevent the vehicle from rolling.
If you park on a hill that is too steep, the vehi-
cle may roll out of control. Never park on hills
that are so steep you cannot walk up them
easily. If you must park on an incline, follow
these instructions:1. First, bring the vehicle to a stop and con- tinue to apply the brake pedal.
2. Switch the drive mode to “DIFF. LOCK”
and shift into first gear when parking up-
hill, or reverse gear when parking down-
hill.
TIPYou may need to turn the steering wheel left
and right or release the clutch slightly to help
the differential lock into place. 3. Stop the engine (turn the key to “ ”[off]).
4. With the brake pedal still being applied, set the parking brake.
5. Finally, get out of the vehicle and block
the front and rear wheels with rocks or
other objects.
Loading
Be aware that vehicle load includes the total
combined weight of the operator, passenger,
any installed accessories, and any luggage or
cargo brought on board or stored in the cargo
bed. Make sure that the gross vehicle weight
(vehicle load plus weight of the vehicle itself)
never exceeds 1065 kg (2348 lb).

2. Turn the adjusting nut in direction (a) to
make the brake light come on earlier.
3. Turn the adjusting nut in direction (b) to
make the brake light come on later.
EBU35930Cable inspection and lubrication
WARNING
EWB03380Damaged cables could restrict operation,
which may cause an accident or injury. In-
spect control cables frequently and re-
place damaged cables. Corrosion can
result when the outer covering of control
cables becomes damaged. Cables can
also become frayed or kinked. Lubricate the cable ends. If the cables do not
operate smoothly, ask a Yamaha dealer to re-
place them.

EBU37910Brake/tail lightThis model is equipped with an LED brake/tail
light, there are no replaceable bulbs.
If the brake/tail light does not come on, check
for a loose connection, check the fuses, and
then have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.EBU32700TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha vehicles receive an inspec-
tion before shipment from the factory, trouble
may occur during operation. Any problem inthe fuel, compression, or ignition systems can
cause poor starting and loss of power. The
troubleshooting chart describes a quick, easy
procedure for making checks. If your vehicle
requires any repair, take it to a Yamaha deal-
er.
The skilled technicians at a Yamaha dealer-
ship have the tools, experience, and know-
how to properly service your vehicle. Use only
genuine Yamaha parts on your vehicle. Imita-
tion parts may look like Yamaha parts, but
they are often inferior. Consequently, they
have a shorter service life and can lead to ex-
pensive repair bills.
WARNING
EWB03450When checking the fuel system, do not
smoke and make sure there are no open
flames or sparks in the area, including pilot
lights from water heaters or furnaces.
