ESU10180
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 operating
1. Read the Owner’s Manual and all labels
before operating this snowmobile. Be-
come familiar with all of the operating
controls and their function. Consult a
Yamaha dealer about any control or func-
tion you do not understand.
2. This snowmobile was not manufactured
for use on public streets, roads, or high-
ways. Such use is prohibited by law, and
you could collide with another vehicle.
3. This snowmobile is designed to carry the
OPERATOR ONLY.
Passengers are prohibited. Carrying a
passenger can cause loss of control.
4. Do not operate the snowmobile after
drinking alcohol or taking drugs. Your
ability to operate the snowmobile is re-
duced by the influence of alcohol or
drugs.
5. For safety and proper care of the snow-
mobile, always perform the pre-operation
checks on page 29 before starting the en-
gine. Check the throttle, brake, and steer-
ing for proper operation every time before
starting the engine. Make sure that the
throttle lever moves freely and it returns
to the home position when it is released.
6. 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 brak-
ing ability.
7. 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 oper-
ator or bystanders.
8. Handle fuel with care; it is HIGHLY
FLAMMABLE.
●
Never add fuel when the engine is run-
ning or hot. Allow the engine to cool for
several minutes after running.
●
Use an approved fuel container.
