SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY INFORMATION
EBU17463
AN ATV IS NOT A TOY AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE.
An ATV handles differently from other vehicles, including motorcycles and cars. A collision or rollover can occur quickly, even during routine
maneuvers such as turning and riding on hills or
over obstacles, if you fail to take proper precautions.
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you do
not follow these instructions:
Read this manual and all labels carefully and fol-
●
low the operating procedures described.
Never operate an ATV without proper training or
●
instruction.
Always follow the age recommendation:
●
– A child under 16 years old should never operate an ATV with engine size greater than 90 cc.
Never allow a child under age 16 to operate an
●
ATV without adult supervision, and never allow
continued use of an ATV by a child if he or she
does not have the abilities to operate it safely.
Never carry a passenger on an ATV.
●
Always avoid operating an ATV on any paved
●
surfaces, including sidewalks, driveways, parking lots and paved streets.
Never operate an ATV on any paved street,
●
paved road or motorway.
Watch carefully for other vehicles when operat-
●
ing on unpaved public streets or roads. Make
sure you know your country’s laws and regulations before you ride on unpaved public streets
or roads.
Never operate an ATV without wearing an ap-
●
proved motorcycle helmet that fits properly. You
should also wear eye protection (goggles or face
shield), gloves, boots, a long-sleeved shirt or a
jacket, and long pants.
Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while
●
operating this ATV.
Never operate at speeds too fast for your skills
●
or the riding conditions. Always go at a speed
that is proper for the terrain, visibility, operating
2-1

conditions, and your experience.
●
Never attempt wheelies, jumps, or other stunts.
1
●
Always inspect your ATV each time you use it to
make sure it is in safe operating condition. Al-
2
ways follow the inspection and maintenance
procedures and schedules described in this
3
manual.
●
Always keep both hands on the handlebars and
4
both feet on the footboards of the ATV during
operation.
5
Always go slowly and be extra careful when op-
●
erating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert to
6
changing terrain conditions when operating the
ATV.
7
Never operate on excessively rough, slippery or
●
loose terrain until you have learned and prac-
8
ticed the skills necessary to control the ATV on
such terrain. Always be especially cautious on
9
these kinds of terrain.
Always follow proper procedures for turning as
●
described in this manual. Practice turning at low
speeds before attempting to turn at faster
speeds and never turn at excessive speeds.
Never operate the ATV on hills too steep for the
●
ATV or for your abilities. Practice on smaller hills
before attempting larger hills.
●
Always follow proper procedures for climbing
hills as described in this manual. Check the terrain carefully before you start up any hill. Never
climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight forward. Never open the
throttle suddenly or make sudden gear changes.
Never go over the top of a hill at high speed.
●
Always follow proper procedures for going down
hills and for braking on hills as described in this
manual. Check the terrain carefully before you
start down any hill. Shift your weight backward.
Never go down a hill at high speed. Avoid going
down a hill at an angle that would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Go straight
down the hill where possible.
Always follow proper procedures for crossing
●
the side of a hill as described in this manual.
Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight to the uphill side of the
ATV. Never attempt to turn the ATV around on
any hill until you have mastered the turning technique described in this manual on level ground.
Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill if possible.
Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll
●
backwards when climbing a hill. To avoid stalling, use the proper gear and maintain a steady
2-2
speed when climbing a hill. If you stall or roll
backwards, follow the special procedure for
braking described in this manual. Dismount on
the uphill side or to a side if pointed straight uphill. Turn the ATV around and remount, following
the procedure described in this manual.
●
Always check for obstacles before operating in a
new area.
Never attempt to operate over large obstacles,
●
such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always follow
proper procedures when operating over obstacles as described in this manual.
Always be careful when skidding or sliding.
●
Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by
practicing at low speeds and on level, smooth
terrain. On extremely slippery surfaces, such as
ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding out of control.
Never operate an ATV in fast flowing water or in
●
water deeper than that recommended in this
manual. 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.
Always be sure there are no obstacles or people
●
behind you when you operate in reverse. When
it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly.
●
Always use the size and type of tires specified in
this manual.
●
Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in this manual.
●
Never modify an ATV through improper installation or use of accessories.
Never exceed the stated load capacity for an
●
ATV. Cargo should be properly distributed and
securely attached. Reduce speed and follow instructions in this manual for carrying cargo or
pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for braking.

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 unable

to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can linger for hours or days in en-
1
closed or poorly ventilated areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide
2
poisoning, leave the area immediately, get
fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.
3
●
Do not run engine indoors. Even if you try to
ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open

Throttle lever
Once the engine is running, pushing the throttle lever will increase the engine speed.
Regulate the speed of the ATV by varying the
throttle position. Because the throttle is springloaded, the ATV will decelerate, and the engine will
return to an idle any time the throttle lever is released.

Before starting the engine, check the throttle to be
sure it is operating smoothly. Make sure it returns
to the idle position as soon as the lever is released.

Speed limiter
Your ATV is equipped with an adjustable speed
limiter. The speed limiter keeps the throttle from
fully opening, even when the throttle lever is
pushed to the maximum.
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. To increase the maximum engine power available and the maximum speed of the ATV, turn
the adjusting screw in direction (a). To decrease the maximum engine power available
and the maximum speed of the ATV, turn the
adjusting screw in direction (b). Do not turn
the adjusting screw out more than 12 mm
(0.47 in) or the throttle cable could be damaged. Always make sure the throttle lever free
play is adjusted to 1.0–3.0 mm (0.04–0.12 in).
(See page 8-25.)
justment of the speed limiter and throttle
could cause throttle cable damage or improper throttle operation. You could lose
control, resulting in an accident.

WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are extremely
flammable. To avoid fires and explosions and
to reduce the risk of injury when refueling, follow these instructions.
4-6
1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and be
sure that no one is sitting on the vehicle. Never refuel while smoking, or while in the vicinity
of sparks, open flames, or other sources of ignition such as the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling,
be sure to insert the pump nozzle into the fuel
tank filler hole. Stop filling when the fuel reaches the bottom of the filler tube. Because fuel
expands when it heats up, heat from the engine or the sun can cause fuel to spill out of
the fuel tank.

Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded
gasoline will cause severe damage to internal
2
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 research octane
