Safety information
ESU10181
When you ride your snowmobile, you must know and use the following for your safety. Severe injury or death may result if you ignore any of the following.
Before operating
1.Read the Owner’s Manual and all labels before operating this snowmobile. Become familiar with all of the operating controls and their function. Consult a Yamaha dealer about any control or function you do not understand.
2.This snowmobile was not manufactured for use on public streets, roads, or highways. Such use is prohibited by law, and you could collide with another vehicle.
3.This snowmobile is designed to carry the OPERATOR ONLY.
Passengers are prohibited. Carrying a passenger can cause loss of control.
4.Do not operate the snowmobile after drinking alcohol or taking drugs. Your ability to operate the snowmobile is reduced by the influence of alcohol or drugs.
5.For safety and proper care of the snowmobile, always perform the pre-operation checks on page 29 before starting the engine. Check the throttle, brake, and steering for proper operation every time before starting the engine. Make sure that the throttle lever moves freely and it returns to the home position when it is released.
6.Apply the parking brake before starting the engine. Never drive the snowmobile with the parking brake applied. This may overheat the brake disc and reduce braking ability.
7.Do not allow anyone to stand behind the snowmobile when starting, inspecting, or adjusting the snowmobile. A broken track, track fittings, or debris thrown by the track could be dangerous to the operator or bystanders.
8.Handle fuel with care; it is HIGHLY FLAMMABLE.
●Never add fuel when the engine is running or hot. Allow the engine to cool for several minutes after running.
●Use an approved fuel container.
1
Safety information
●Fill the fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never remove the fuel cap indoors. Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
●Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.
●Make sure that the fuel tank cap is closed securely after refueling. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
9.If you swallow some gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gasoline into your eyes, see your doctor immediately. If any gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash your skin with soap and water, and change your clothes.
10.Wear protective clothing. Wear an approved helmet, and a face shield or goggles. Also, wear a good quality snowmobile suit, boots, and a pair of gloves or mittens that will permit use of your thumbs and fingers for operation of the controls.
Operation
1.Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting the engine to transport the snowmobile in or out of the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous.
2.Be careful where you ride. There may be obstacles hidden beneath the snow. Stay on established trails to minimize your exposure to hazards. Ride slowly and cautiously when you ride off of established trails. Hitting a rock or stump, or running into wires could cause an accident and injury.
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 sprockets.
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 hardpacked snow require much longer stopping distances. Be alert, plan ahead and
2
Safety information
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.When laying the snowmobile on its side for maintenance, use a suitable stand to keep it level.
2.Do not leave the snowmobile on its left side for an extended period of time. Fuel may leak out from the fuel breather hose.
3.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.
4.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.
5.Always refer to the “STORAGE” section on page 72 if the snowmobile is to be stored for an extended period.
6.Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

Control functions
ESU10291
Main switch
The main switch controls the ignition and lighting systems. The various positions are described below.
1.Off
2.On
3.Start
Off
The ignition circuit is switched off.
The key can be removed only in this position.
On
The ignition circuit is switched on.
Start
The starting circuit is switched on. The starter motor cranks the engine.
ECS00020
CAUTION:
Release the switch immediately after the engine starts.
NOTE:
The headlights and taillight come on after the engine is started.
ESU10310
Throttle lever
Once the engine is running cleanly, squeezing the throttle lever will increase the engine speed and cause engagement of the drive system. Regulate the speed of the snowmobile by varying the throttle position. Because
the throttle is spring-loaded, the snowmobile will decelerate, and the engine will return to idle when it is released.
1. Throttle lever
EWS00030
WARNING
Check the throttle, brake, and steering for proper operation before starting the engine. (See page 29.)
ESU10321
Engine overheating prevention system
This model is equipped with a system, which prevents overheating when the engine is idling.
When the engine has been idling for 3 minutes or longer and the coolant temperature has risen above 100 °C (212 °F), the engine automatically stops to prevent overheating.
NOTE:
The engine can be started after it stops.
ESU10344
Throttle override system (T.O.R.S.)
EWS00040
WARNING
●If the T.O.R.S. is activated, make sure that the cause of the malfunction has been corrected and that the engine can be operated without a problem before restarting the engine.
9
Control functions
●Be sure to use the specified spark plug and spark plug cap. Otherwise, the T.O.R.S. will not work properly.
If the throttle bodies or throttle cable malfunctions during operation, the T.O.R.S. will operate when the throttle lever is released.
The T.O.R.S. is designed to override the fuel injection and limit the engine speed to less than the clutch engagement speed if the throttle valves fail to return to the idle position when the throttle lever is released. (See page 74 for the clutch engagement speed.)

●Do not fill the fuel tank above the bottom of the filler tube. Fuel could overflow if the snowmobile is tilted or if the ambient temperature rises, causing the fuel to warm up and expand.
●Make sure that the fuel tank cap is closed securely after refueling. Leaking fuel can catch fire.
