Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in the
tank.
Recommended fuel:
UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
24.0 L
(5.3 Imp gal, 6.3 US gal) (YXP700)
30.0 L
(6.6 Imp gal, 7.9 US gal) (YXP1000)
CAUTION:
_
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of
leaded gasoline will cause severe damage
to internal engine parts, such as the valves
and piston rings, as well as to the exhaust
system.
_
Your Yamaha engine has been designed to
use regular unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane number ([R+M]/2) of 86 or higher, or
research octane number of 91 or higher. If
knocking or pinging occurs, use a different
brand of gasoline or premium unleaded fuel.
Unleaded fuel will give you longer spark plug
life and reduced maintenance cost.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol; gasohol containing ethanol and that containing methanol.
Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if
ethanol content does not exceed 10%. Gasohol containing methanol is not recommended
by Yamaha because it may cause fuel system
damage or vehicle performance problems.
5-4
WARNIN G
POTENTIAL HAZARD

Accessories and loading
Accessories
Accessories can affect the handling and control of your vehicle. Keep the following in mind
when considering an accessory or operating a
vehicle which has accessories.
●
Choose only accessories designed for your
vehicle. Your Yamaha dealer has a variety
of genuine Yamaha accessories. Other accessories may also be available on the
market. However, it is not possible for
Yamaha to test all non-Yamaha accessories, nor have any control over the quality or
suitability of them. Choose a genuine
Yamaha accessory, or one that is equivalent in design and quality.
●
Accessories should be rigidly and securely
mounted. An accessory which can shift position or come off while you are operating
could affect your ability to control the vehicle.
●
Do not mount an accessory where it could
interfere with your ability to control the vehicle. Examples include (but are not limited
to) an object that limits your ability to turn
the steering wheel or one that limits your
view.
●
Use extra caution when driving a vehicle
with accessories. The vehicle may handle
differently than it does without accessories.

Loading
Cargo or a trailer can change the stability and
handling of a vehicle.
You must use common sense and good judgment when carrying cargo or towing a trailer.
Keep the following points in mind:
●
Never exceed the weight limits shown. An
overloaded vehicle can be unstable.
MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT
●
Maximum cargo bed load:
113 kg (250 lb) (YXP700)
227 kg (500 lb) (YXP1000)
●
Tow hitch
Tow weight (Including driver,
passenger, vehicle cargo and trailer
and trailer cargo):
227 kg (500 lb) (YXP700)
454 kg (1000 lb) (YXP1000)
Tongue weight: 68 kg (150 lb)
●
Choose a trailer hitch drawbar designed for
use with a 5 cm (2 in) receiver. (See page
4-11 for more information.)
●
Do not exceed the maximum tongue
weight. You can measure tongue weight
with a bathroom scale. Put the tongue of
the loaded trailer on the scale with the
tongue at hitch height. Adjust the load in the
trailer, if necessary, to reduce the weight on
hitch. If you are carrying cargo and towing a
trailer, include the tongue weight in the
maximum vehicle load limit.
●
Load cargo in the cargo bed as close to the
center of the vehicle as possible.
●
Tie down cargo securely in the trailer. Make
sure cargo in the trailer cannot move
around. A shifting load can cause an accident.
6-5
●
Make sure the load does not interfere with
controls or your ability to see where you are
going.
●
Drive more slowly than you would without a
load. The more weight you carry, the slower you should go. Although conditions vary,
it is good practice not to exceed low range
whenever you are carrying heavier loads or
when towing a trailer.
●
Allow more braking distance. A heavier vehicle takes longer to stop.
●
Avoid making sharp turns unless at very
slow speeds.
●
Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose terrain carefully. Added weight affects the stability and handling of the vehicle.

LEARNING TO OPERATE YOUR VEHICLE
You should become familiar with the performance characteristics of the vehicle in a large,
flat area that is free of obstacles and other vehicles. Practice control of the accelerator,
brakes, steering, and forward/reverse select
lever. Drive first at slow speed and become
comfortable at that speed before gradually increasing your speed. Take the time to learn
basic operation before attempting more difficult maneuvers.
Set the parking brake. Perform the Pre-Operation Checks on pages 5-2. If the engine is
cold, pull out the choke knob. To start the engine, press the accelerator pedal slowly and
smoothly. The centrifugal clutch will engage
and you will start to accelerate. Avoid higher
speeds until you are thoroughly familiar with
the operation of your vehicle. Push in the
choke knob after the engine has warmed.
When slowing down or stopping, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal and smoothly
press the brake pedal. Improper use of the
brakes can cause the tires to lose traction, reducing control and increasing the possibility of
an accident. The engine stops running when
the vehicle stops.
TURNING YOUR VEHICLE
It is possible for the vehicle to roll over or go
out of control if you attempt sharp, higher
speed turns. You should also be careful making sharp turns on rough terrain. Do not attempt to turn around or make abrupt
maneuvers on slopes.
BRAKING
Braking ability is affected by the type of terrain. In most cases, gradual application of the
brakes is more effective than abrupt braking,
particularly on loose surfaces like gravel. Always allow for greater braking distance on
rough, loose, or slippery surfaces.
7-3
GOING UPHILL
Do not attempt to climb slopes until you have
mastered basic maneuvers on flat ground.
Use proper driving techniques to avoid overturns on hills and slopes. Drive straight up
slopes, and avoid crossing the side of a slope,
which increases your chance of rollover.
Practice first on gentle inclines before attempting slopes. Always check the terrain
carefully before attempting any slope. Use
common sense and remember that some
slopes are too steep for you to climb.
Maximum slope angle:
15°
Choose carefully which slopes you attempt to
drive on. Avoid slopes with slippery surfaces
or ones where you will not be able to see far
enough ahead of you.
WARNIN G
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating on steep slopes.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The utility vehicle can overturn more
easily on steep slopes than on level surfaces or gentle inclines.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never operate your vehicle on slopes
too steep for it or your abilities. Never
operate vehicles on slopes steeper than
15°.
Do not drive across the face of a slope.
Go straight up the slope.
Practice on smaller slopes before attempting large slopes.
Slow down when you reach the crest of the hill
if you cannot clearly see what is on the other
side - there could be another person, an obstacle, or a sharp drop off.
7-4
If you start to lose traction or momentum
when going up a slope, and you decide you
will be unable to continue, use the brakes to
come to a stop. Do not attempt to turn the vehicle around. Instead, back down the hill as
slowly as possible, gently applying the brakes
when necessary.
GOING DOWNHILL
Check the terrain carefully before going down
a slope. When possible, choose a path that
lets you drive your vehicle straight downhill.
Carefully choose your path and drive no faster
than you will be able to react to obstacles that
may appear. If you must turn to avoid an obstacle, do not turn at a sharp angle that could
allow the vehicle to pitch or roll over.
WARNIN G
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Going down a slope improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause the
vehicle to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always check the terrain carefully before you start down any slope. Never go
down a slope at high speed. Avoid going down a slope at an angle that would
cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one
side. Go straight down the slope where
possible.
Go as slowly as possible. If you are starting to
go too fast, apply the brakes gently. Avoid
sudden application of the brakes, which could
cause the vehicle to start sliding.
If you start to slide or skid, try to steer in the direction the vehicle is sliding to help you regain
control.
7-5
If you must turn on the slope to avoid an obstacle, do so slowly and carefully. If the vehicle starts to tip, gradually steer in the downhill
direction if there are no obstacles in your path.
As you regain proper balance, gradually steer
again in the direction you want to go.
CROSSING THROUGH SHALLOW WATER
If you must cross shallow, slow moving water
up to 15 cm (6 in), choose your path carefully
to avoid sharp drop-offs, large rocks, or slippery surfaces that could cause the vehicle to
overturn. Never operate through water deeper
than 15 cm (6 in) or fast flowing water.
Wet brakes may have reduced effectiveness.
After leaving the water, test your brakes. If
necessary, apply the brakes several times to
let friction dry out the linings.
WARNIN G
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating this vehicle through deep or
fast-flowing water.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Loss of control, which could result in an
accident including overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never operate the vehicle in fast flowing
water or in water deeper than 15 cm
(6 in).
Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes
after leaving water. If necessary, apply
them several times to let friction dry out
the linings.
7-6
ROUGH TERRAIN
Avoid operating over very rough terrain. Look
for obstacles that could cause damage to the
vehicle or could lead to a rollover or accident.
Avoid jumping the vehicle as injury, loss of
control, and damage to the vehicle could occur.
WARNIN G
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating in rough terrain.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The vehicle can overturn or go out of
control.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always be alert to changing terrain. Go
slowly and be extra careful on unfamiliar terrain, so you will have enough time
to react to hidden rocks, bumps, or
holes in your path.
RIDING IN BRUSH OR WOODED AREAS
When operating in areas with brush or trees,
watch carefully on both sides and above the
vehicle for obstacles such as branches that
the vehicle might hit, causing an accident, or
for brush that might enter the vehicle as you
pass and strike the driver or passenger.
