Safety information

ESU10183

As the vehicle’s 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.

creases the possibility of an accident or
equipment damage. See page 46 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.

● This snowmobile is designed to carry the

OPERATOR ONLY. Passengers are pro­hibited. Carrying a passenger can cause
loss of control.

● 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 in-

● 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.

15

Safety information

● 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 gently—not 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
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,

16

clothes dryers, and the like. Allow the en­gine to cool off before storing the snowmo­bile in an enclosed space.

Throttle lever

Once the engine is running cleanly, squeez­ing 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.

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. Continuing to operate with a mal­function could cause loss of control or
damage.

If the throttle valves or throttle cable malfunc­tions 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
100 for the clutch engagement speed.)

fuel meter.

● To switch the speedometer, odometer, and

tripmeter displays between kilometers and
miles, select the odometer mode “ODO”,
and then push the “SELECT” button for at
least 10 seconds while the snowmobile is
stopped.

● To switch the barometer display between

hectopascal “hPa” and inches of mercury
“inHg”, select the barometer mode “BARO”,
and then push the “SELECT” button for at
least 3 seconds while the snowmobile is
stopped.

Odometer, tripmeter, and barometer
modes

1. Odometer/tripmeter/barometer

Pushing the “SELECT” button switches the
display between the odometer mode “ODO”,
tripmeter modes “TRIP A” and “TRIP B”, and
barometer mode “BARO” in the following or­der:
ODO → TRIP A → TRIP B → BARO → ODO
If the fuel level warning indicator and the
warning light come on (see page 25), 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” button
to switch the display between the various trip­meter and odometer modes in the following
order:
TRIP F → ODO → TRIP A → TRIP B →
BARO →TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing the
“SELECT” button, and then push the “RE­SET” button for at least 1 second. If you do not
reset the fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it
will reset itself automatically, and the display
will return to the prior mode after the snowmo­bile has been refueled and traveled 5 km (3
mi).

Oil change tripmeter

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
