SAFETY INFORMATION

2EBU26685

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 follow the operating procedures described.

Never operate an ATV without proper training or instruction. Take a training course. Beginners should receive training from a certified instructor. Contact an authorized ATV dealer to find out about the training courses nearest you.

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.

This vehicle is intended for off-road use only. Do not operate on any paved surfaces such as: sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, paved roads, public streets or other motorway.

Watch carefully for other vehicles when operating 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 approved 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.

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

2backwards when climbing a hill. To avoid stalling, use the proper gear and maintain a steady 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 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.

Do not operate your ATV during darkness unless it is equipped with a properly functioning headlight. Off-road riding is inherently dangerous and additionally, off-road trails do not have streetlights to guide you.

2-3

Never maintain an ATV without proper knowledge. Contact an authorized ATV dealer to inform you on basic ATV maintenance. Certain maintenance can only be carried out by certified staff.

In the event of an accident

1.If serious injuries are incurred, you may be safer staying next to your vehicle; it may shield you from oncoming riders. Depending on your injuries and position in the trail; you must make a judgment call as to whether you should move to a position off the trail. If you have sustained head, neck, or back injuries, or cannot feel your limbs, you should not move. Keep your helmet on and remain motionless. Lie down next to your vehicle and wait for help.

2.If less serious injuries are incurred and you can walk, then move to a position off the trail. Check yourself for injuries and apply first aid as needed.

3.If your injuries are light, when safe to do so, move your vehicle off the trail to avoid collisions with oncoming riders. Check for injuries and apply first aid as necessary. If you can physically operate your vehicle, inspect your

vehicle. If the vehicle is in safe operating condition and you can safely operate it, restart it and ride gently back to camp or other known location where you can receive medical attention. If necessary, contact your riding party 2 or local authorities to let them know where you are and what has happened.

In the event of a breakdown

1.If your vehicle will not restart or is not in safe operating condition, turn off the main switch and engine stop switch. If the breakdown occurs at twilight or night, leave the main switch on so that your lights may warn other riders of your stopped vehicle.

2.Get out of danger. Check for oncoming vehicles and when safe, push your vehicle to the side of the trail or even off the main trail to avoid any possible collisions with oncoming riders. If you cannot move your vehicle by yourself, when safe, walk to the nearest vantage point and signal an oncoming rider to help you push your vehicle to a safe place off the trail.

3.Inspect your vehicle for any immediate hazardous conditions. The most obvious hazardous conditions are leaking fuel and

2-4

ungrounded or broken wiring. Visually check for broken wiring and leaking fuel. Leaking fuel can be confirmed by the odor of gasoline.

4. Once immediate safety hazards are con-

2firmed not to exist, you may remove your helmet to more closely inspect your vehicle. Check for external signs of wear, broken parts, fluid leaks, cracks in the frame, suspension damage, wheel damage, and so on. Fuel, oil, and coolant usually give off a noticeable odor.

5.If your vehicle will not restart or if it is unsafe to ride, then turn off all vehicle systems (engine stop switch, main switch, and fuel cock), and then signal or go for help.

Aftermarket Parts, Accessories, and Modifications

While you may find aftermarket products similar in design and quality to genuine Yamaha accessories, recognize that some aftermarket accessories or modifications are not suitable because of potential safety hazards to you or others. Installing aftermarket products or having other modifications performed to your vehicle that change any of the vehicle’s design or operation characteristics can put you and others at greater risk of serious

injury or death. You are responsible for injuries related to changes in the vehicle. Keep the following guidelines in mind, as well as those provided under “Loading” when mounting accessories.

Never install accessories that would impair the performance of your ATV. Carefully inspect the accessory before using it to make sure that it does not in any way reduce ground clearance, limit suspension travel, steering travel or control operation.

Accessories fitted to the ATV can create instability due to improper weight distribution.

Bulky or large accessories may seriously affect the stability of the ATV.

Certain accessories can displace the operator from his or her normal riding position. This improper position limits the freedom of movement of the operator and may limit control ability, therefore, such accessories are not recommended.

Use caution when adding electrical accessories. If electrical accessories exceed the capacity of the ATV’s electrical system, an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.

EWB00073

WARNING

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 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 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 engine in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed areas such as barns, garages, or carports.

Do not run engine outdoors where engine exhaust can be drawn into a building through openings such as windows and doors.
