Le mauvais usage de la caisse de chargement ou de l’arceau de
protection peut provoquer de graves blessures ou la mort par suite
d’une perte de contrôle, d’un capotage ou d’un accident quelconque.
Charge maximale dans la caisse : 136 kg (300 lbs)
Charge maximale du véhicule : 317 kg (699 lbs)
La charge peut affecter la maniabilité et la stabilité du
véhicule.
– Ne pas dépasser la capacité de charge maximale pour la benne
ou le véhicule.
– Arrimer solidement toute charge – un article mal arrimé
pourrait nuire soudainement à la maniabilité ou être projeté
vers l’avant et heurter un occupant.
– Répartir le poids de la charge de façon équilibrée et le plus
bas possible dans la caisse; une charge mal équilibrée augmente
le risque de capotage.
Lors du transport d’une charge :
– Réduire la vitesse et prévoir une distance de freinage accrue.
– Négocier les virages progressivement et lentement.
– Éviter les pentes et les terrains accidentés.
Lire le manuel du propriétaire avant de charger la benne.

L’utilisation négligente d’un véhicule hors route
Être préparé
Attacher la ceinture de sécurité.

Be a responsible owner
As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible for the safe and proper operation of your Yamaha
YXZ1000R. While understanding all parts of this manual are important for vehicle ownership, be
sure to read this chapter and the instructions in Chapter 7 before operating your Yamaha
YXZ1000R. Also use these two chapters and the labels on the vehicle to instruct new operators
and passengers. Do not allow anyone else to operate your vehicle or ride as a passenger if you
are unsure whether he or she is willing and able to follow these instructions.
Get to know your vehicle
This off-road vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from cars, ATVs, go-carts, golf-cars
and grounds-keeping vehicles. Follow these instructions to reduce your risk of an accident and
to reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident.

• Do not drive or ride as passenger after using drugs or alcohol.
Prepare your vehicle
Perform the pre-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe oper-
2
ating condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an
accident or equipment damage. See page 5-1 for a list of pre-operation checks.
Prepare your load
Carrying heavy or over-sized loads can affect handling, stability, and cause the risk of overturns
or other accidents.
Read “Loading” on page 6-9 before loading the cargo bed.
Do not overload the vehicle or cargo bed.
Refer to the labels on the vehicle for specific loading limits and recommended tire air pressure.
Keep heavier objects and the load in general centered side to side, and as low and as far for-
ward in the cargo bed as possible.
Secure cargo so that it will not shift – a loose load could change handling unexpectedly or be
thrown forward and strike occupants.
This vehicle is not designed to tow or pull objects. Towing a trailer or pulling another vehicle or
other object will affect handling, stability, and increase the risk of overturns and accidents.
Towing or pulling can also cause frame and vehicle damage.
