Safety information

ESU10203
As the vehicles owner, you are responsible for the safe and proper operation of your snowmobile. 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 you operate your snowmobile
Read the Owner’s Manual and all labels.
Become familiar with all of the operating controls and their function. Consult a Yamaha dealer about any control or func­tion you do not understand.
Wear protective clothing. Wear an ap-
proved 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.
Do not operate the snowmobile after or
while drinking alcohol or taking drugs. Your ability to operate the snowmobile is re­duced by the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Prepare your snowmobile
Perform the pre-operation checks each
time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe operating condition. Failure to in­spect or maintain the vehicle properly in­creases the possibility of an accident or equipment damage. See page 33 for a list of pre-operation checks.
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.
While using your snowmobile
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.
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.
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.
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.
Many surfaces such as ice and hardpacked
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 gentlynot suddenly.
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon monox­ide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion, and eventually death. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas which may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly and you can quickly be overcome and
5
Safety information
be unable to save yourself. Also, deadly lev­els of carbon monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed or poorly-ventilated areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area immedi­ately, get fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.
Do not run the engine indoors. Even if you
try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.
Do not run the engine in poorly ventilated or
partially enclosed areas such as barns, ga­rages, or carports.
Do not run the engine outdoors where en-
gine exhaust can be drawn into a building through openings such as windows and doors.
Genuine Yamaha Accessories
Choosing accessories for your snowmobile is an important decision. Genuine Yamaha Ac­cessories, which are available only from a Yamaha dealer, have been designed, tested, and approved by Yamaha for use on your snowmobile. Many companies with no con­nection to Yamaha manufacture parts and ac­cessories or offer other modifications for Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in a position to test the products that these aftermarket companies produce. Therefore, Yamaha can neither endorse nor recommend the use of accessories not sold by Yamaha or modifica­tions not specifically recommended by Yamaha, even if sold and installed by a Yamaha dealer.
Maintenance and storage
When laying the snowmobile on its side for
maintenance, use a suitable stand to keep it in a stable and level position.
Do not leave the snowmobile on its left side
for an extended period of time. Fuel may leak out from the fuel breather hose.
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.
Modifications made to the snowmobile not
approved by Yamaha, or the removal of original equipment may render your snow­mobile unsafe for use, which may cause se­vere personal injury. Modifications may also make the snowmobile illegal to use.
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.
