Safety information

ESU10204

As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible

for the safe and proper operation of your

snowmobile. When you ride your snowmo-

bile, 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 func-

tion you do not understand.

 Wear protective clothing. Wear an ap-

proved helmet, and a face shield or gog-

gles. Also, wear a good quality snowmobile

suit, boots, and a pair of gloves or mittens

that will permit use of your thumbs and fin-

gers 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 re-

duced 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 in-

spect or maintain the vehicle properly in-

creases the possibility of an accident or

equipment damage. See page 36 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 over-

heat 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 expo-

sure to hazards. Ride slowly and cautiously

when you ride off of established trails. Hit-

ting 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 dam-

age 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 dam-

age your snowmobile.

 Many surfaces such as ice and hard-

packed snow require much longer stop-

ping 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.

Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning

All engine exhaust contains carbon monox-

ide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monox-

ide can cause headaches, dizziness,

drowsiness, nausea, confusion, and eventu-

Safety information

ally death. Carbon monoxide is a colorless,

odorless, tasteless gas which may be present

even if you do not see or smell any engine ex-

haust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can

collect rapidly and you can quickly be over-

come and be unable to save yourself. Also,

deadly levels of carbon monoxide can linger

for hours or days in enclosed or poorly-venti-

lated 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 monox-

ide 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 Ac-

cessories, 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 con-

nection 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 modifica-

tions 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 by-

standers.

 Modifications made to the snowmobile not

approved by Yamaha, or the removal of

original equipment may render your snow-

mobile 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 en-

gine to cool off before storing the snowmo-

bile in an enclosed space.

ESU10313

Throttle lever

Once the engine is running cleanly, squeez-

ing the throttle lever will increase the engine

speed and cause engagement of the drive

train. 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.

ESU13243

Throttle override system

(T.O.R.S.)

WARNING

EWS00042

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 op-

erated without a problem before restarting

the engine. Continuing to operate with a

malfunction could cause loss of control or

damage.

If the throttle valves or throttle cable malfunc-

tions during operation, the T.O.R.S. will be

activated 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

90 for the clutch engagement speed.)

Odometer and tripmeter modes

Odometer shows the total distance that the

vehicle has run.

Tripmeter A and tripmeter B show the dis-

tance traveled since they last reset.

Fuel reserve tripmeter shows the distance

traveled since the fuel level warning indicator

and warning light came on.

Pushing the “SELECT” button switches the

display between the odometer mode “ODO”

and the tripmeter modes “TRIP A” and “TRIP

B” in the following order:

ODO → TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO

If the fuel level warning indicator and warning

light come on (see page 18), the odometer

display will automatically change to the fuel

reserve tripmeter mode “TRIP F” and start

counting the distance traveled from that

point. In that case, push the “SELECT” but-

ton to switch the display between the various

tripmeter and odometer modes in the follow-

ing order:

TRIP F → ODO → TRIP A → TRIP B → TRIP F

To reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing the

“SELECT” button, and then push the “RE-

SET” button for at least 1 second. If you do

not reset the fuel reserve tripmeter manually,

it will reset itself automatically, and the dis-

play will return to the prior mode after the

snowmobile has been refueled and traveled 5

km (3 mi).

TIP

 Odometer resets and continues counting

when it reaches 99999 while riding. How-

ever on the 10th time, the odometer will

lock at 99999.

 Tripmeter A and tripmeter B reset and con-

tinue counting when they reach 999.9 while

riding.

Oil change tripmeter

Oil change tripmeter shows the distance trav-

eled since the periodic oil change interval

was reached.

When the periodic oil change interval is

reached at the initial 800 km (500 mi), then at

every 4000 km (2500 mi) thereafter, the oil

change tripmeter and “OIL” flash alternately

in the odometer display, and the tripmeter

starts counting the distance traveled from

that point. When this occurs, change the en-

gine oil as soon as possible. (See page 59 for

the oil change procedure.)

TIP

 The oil change tripmeter will flash only

when the snowmobile is stopped.

 To return to the previous display mode,

push the “SELECT” button. To display the

oil change tripmeter again, turn the key to

the off position, then back to the on posi-

tion.

1. Odometer/tripmeter/fuel reserve tripmeter

Control functions

After changing the engine oil, reset the oil

change tripmeter as follows.

To reset the oil change tripmeter (when the

engine oil was changed after the oil change

tripmeter appeared)

1. To display the oil change tripmeter, turn

Fuel level warning indicator “ ”

The fuel level warning indicator and the warn-

ing light come on when the fuel level is low.

(See page 18 for details.)

The fuel level warning indicator, the warning

light, the fuel meter indicator, and all seg-

ments of the fuel meter start to flash when a

malfunctioning sensor, disconnected cou-

pler, broken lead, or short circuit is detected

by the self-diagnosis device of the snowmo-

bile to warn the rider of any of the above

problems.

If this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer inspect

the snowmobile as soon as possible.

ESU13992

Oil level/pressure warning

indicator “ ”

The oil level/pressure warning indicator has

two functions. The warning indicator comes

on when the engine oil level is low and when

the engine oil pressure is low. The functions

are explained in the following sections.

Oil level warning

The warning indicator and the warning light

come on when the engine oil level is low.

If the warning indicator and the warning light

come on, place the snowmobile on a level

surface and allow it to idle for one minute.

If the warning indicator and the warning light

go off, the engine oil level is sufficient, how-

ever it is getting low. Add engine oil as soon

as possible.

If the warning indicator and the warning light

do not go off, check the engine oil level in the

oil tank (see page 59 for engine oil level

checking procedures), and add engine oil if

necessary.

If the warning indicator and the warning light

still remain on, have a Yamaha dealer check

the snowmobile.

Control functions

Oil pressure warning

The warning indicator comes on and “OP-

LO” (oil pressure low) appears in the odome-

ter display if the engine oil pressure is low

when the engine is started. At the same time,

the engine speed is limited to less than the

clutch engagement speed until the warning

indicator goes off.

If the engine oil pressure remains low for one

minute, the engine stops. If this occurs, have

a Yamaha dealer check the snowmobile.

TIP

If there is no engine oil in the oil passages

when the engine is started, such as after the

engine oil is changed, the warning indicator

may come on and “OP-LO” may appear in

the odometer display for a few seconds until

the oil circulates through the engine. The

snowmobile can be operated normally after

the warning indicator goes off.

ESU10514

Coolant temperature warning

indicator “ ”

If the engine overheats, the coolant tempera-

ture warning indicator and the warning light

come on. When this occurs, stop the engine

immediately and allow the engine to cool

down, and then check the coolant level in the

coolant reservoir. (See page 63 for checking

procedures.)

NOTICE

Electric power steering warn-

ing indicator “EPS”

The electric power steering warning indicator

comes on when the key is turned to the on

position, and then goes off once the engine is

started. If the warning indicator remains on or

comes on after the engine is started, the EPS

system may not be working correctly. When

this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check the

EPS system.

Self-diagnosis device

This model is equipped with a self-diagnosis

device for various electrical circuits.

If a problem is detected in any of those cir-

cuits, the warning light and the engine trouble

warning indicator flash, and an error code

displays in the meter display. Note the error

code, and then have a Yamaha dealer in-

spect the snowmobile as soon as possible.

NOTICE: Do not continue to operate the

engine longer than necessary if there is an

error code to avoid possible engine dam-

age.
