NOTE: If the throttle control lever
operates properly and the engine
does not start, compress the throt-
tle lever slightly (approximately 1/8
throttle) and try starting the
engine. If the engine now starts
and stops when the throttle lever is
released, take the snowmobile to
an authorized Yamaha Snowmobile
dealer for service. If not under war-
ranty, this service is at the discre-
tion and expense of the
snowmobile owner.
4. If the throttle control lever operates
properly, rotate the ignition key to
the RUN position and go through
normal starting procedures.
NOTE: If the throttle control lever
operates properly and the engine
does not start, a malfunctioning
monitor switch may be the problem.
Take the snowmobile to an autho-
rized Yamaha Snowmobile dealer for
service. If not under warranty, this
service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
However, if a dire emergency exists
wherein the engine must be started,
disconnect the throttle monitor
switch located in the right-side han-
dlebar control.
NOTE: If disconnection of the
throttle monitor switch is needed to
start the engine, take the snowmo-
bile to an authorized Yamaha Snow-
mobile dealer for service as soon as
possible. If not under warranty, this
service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
NOTE: The monitor switch is now
bypassed. All other ignition/electri-
cal features (ignition switch, emer-
gency stop switch, headlight,
taillight, and brakelight) will operate
properly.
Varying Altitude Operation
Operating a snowmobile at varying alti-
tudes requires changes in performance
components. These changes affect drive
train components. Have a Yamaha dealer
perform altitude-related service.
NOTE: Just as important as cali-
brating the snowmobile for higher
altitudes is recalibrating the snow-
mobile when going to lower alti-
tudes.
NOTE: Drive train changes can be
made by the snowmobile owner if
qualified to do so. If the owner
does not feel qualified, take the
snowmobile to an authorized
Yamaha Snowmobile dealer for this
service. This service is at the dis-
cretion and expense of the snow-
mobile owner
.
WARNING
If the throttle control lever does not
work properly, DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO START THE ENGINE.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should
disconnection of the throttle control
wiring harness be used as a substi-
tute for the monitor switch during
normal operation of the snowmo-
bile. Personal injury and damage
could occur if the throttle system
malfunctions or if the operator is
unable to stop the engine in an
emergency. If the snowmobile must
be operated with a disconnected
throttle control wiring harness,
EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE
TAKEN. NEVER EXCEED 10 MPH
WITH THE THROTTLE CONTROL
WIRING HARNESS DISCON-
NECTED.
