pages 8-15–8-17.)

Batteries

Charge batteries before each use. (See page
8-5–8-10.)
Check that the batteries are held securely in
place to prevent the batteries from being dam­aged from vibration or jarring. Also check that
no battery caps are missing to prevent battery
acid from spilling from the battery. Check the
battery terminals for corrosion.

5-3

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 accesso-

ries, nor have any control over the quality or
suitability of them. Choose a genuine

Yamaha accessory, or one that is equiva-

lent 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, one that limits your
view, or one that adversely affects the sta­bility of the vehicle.

●

Use extra caution when driving a vehicle
with accessories. The vehicle may handle
differently than it does without accessories.

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:
363 kg (800 lb)

●

Tow hitch
Tow weight (Including driver,
passenger, vehicle cargo and trailer
and trailer cargo):
590 kg (1300 lb)
Tongue weight: 68 kg (150 lb)

6-4

●

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.

●

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.

●

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.

DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE

WARNIN G

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

This off-highway utility vehicle will handle and
maneuver differently from an ordinary pas­senger car or other vehicle.

Before you begin to use your vehicle, be sure
you have read this Owner’s/Operator’s Manu­al completely and understand the operation of
the controls. Pay particular attention to the
safety information on pages 3-1–3-2. Please
also read all caution and warning labels on
your vehicle.
This vehicle is designed for the operator and
one passenger. Never carry passengers in
the cargo bed.

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Carrying a passenger in the cargo bed.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The passenger could fall or be struck by
objects in the cargo bed.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never carry a passenger in the cargo
bed. The cargo bed is designed to carry
cargo only.

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
switch. 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. To start the mo­tor, press the accelerator pedal slowly and
smoothly. The motor will operate and you will
start to accelerate. Avoid higher speeds until
you are thoroughly familiar with the operation
of your vehicle.

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 motor stops operating 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.
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.
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.

ROUGH TERRAIN

Avoid operating over 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.

Battery care

WARNING

Battery electrolyte is poisonous and dan­gerous, causing severe burns, etc. It con­tains sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with
skin, eyes, or clothing.
Antidote:
EXTERNAL: Flush with water.
INTERNAL: Drink large quantities of water
or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia,
beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Call physi­cian immediately.
EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes and
get prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases.
Keep sparks, flame, cigarettes, etc., away.
Ventilate when charging or using in an en­closed space. Always shield eyes when
working near batteries.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Eight 6-volt deep cycle batteries provide pow­er for your electric utility vehicle and must be
properly maintained and recharged for maxi­mum performance and service life.
To maintain your batteries:

1. Clean the tops of the batteries with a so­lution of baking soda and water, as nec­essary, to remove corrosion.

CAUTION:

Do not allow cleaning solution to enter
battery cells.

2. Check the fluid level before and after
charging.

8-5

Before charging:

●

only add distilled water if
fluid is below the top of the plates, and then
add just enough to cover plates.

After charging:

●

check that the fluid level is
approximately 6.4 mm (0.25 in) to 12.7 mm
(0.5 in) above the plates and 6.4 mm
(0.25 in) to 9.7 mm (0.38 in) below the level
indicator. If the fluid level is low, carefully
add distilled water. Adding distilled water
after charging helps prevent boil over.

CAUTION:

Normal tap water contains minerals which
are harmful to a battery; therefore, refill
only with distilled water.
