3. This snowmobile is not designed for use on surfaces
other than snow or ice. Use on dirt, sand, grass,
rocks, or bare pavement may cause loss of control
and may damage the snowmobile.
4. Avoid operating on glare ice, or on snow which has a
lot of dirt or sand mixed in. Operation under such
conditions will damage or result in rapid wear of ski
runners, drive track, slide runners, and drive sprock-
ets.
5. Always ride with other snowmobilers when going on a
ride. You may need help if you run out of fuel, have an
accident, or damage your snowmobile.
6. Many surfaces such as ice and hard-packed snow
require much longer stopping distances. Be alert,
plan ahead and begin decelerating early. The best
braking method on most surfaces is to release the
throttle and apply the brake gently—not suddenly.
Maintenance and storage
1. Do not leave the snowmobile on its left side for an
extended period of time. Fuel may leak out from the
fuel breather hose.
2. Modifications made to the snowmobile not approved
by Yamaha, or the removal of original equipment may
render your snowmobile unsafe for use that may
cause severe personal injury. Modifications may also
make the snowmobile illegal to use.
3. Never store the snowmobile with fuel in the fuel tank
inside a building where ignition sources are present
such as hot water and space heaters, an open flame,
sparks, clothes dryers, and the like. Allow the engine
to cool off before storing the snowmobile in an
enclosed space.
4. Always refer to the “STORAGE” section if the snow-
mobile is to be stored for an extended period.
5. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
