

NOTE: If the throttle control lever

operates properly and the engine

does not start, a malfunctioning moni-

tor switch may be the problem. Take

the snowmobile to an authorized

Yamaha Snowmobile dealer for ser-

vice. If not under warranty, this ser-

vice 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 handlebar control.



NOTE: If disconnection of the throt-

tle monitor switch is needed to start

the engine, take the snowmobile to an

authorized Yamaha Snowmobile

dealer for service as soon as possi-

ble. 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/electrical

features (ignition switch, emergency

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 alti-

tudes is recalibrating the snowmobile

when going to lower altitudes.



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 snowmo-

bile to an authorized Yamaha Snow-

mobile dealer for this service. This

service is at the discretion and

expense of the snowmobile owner

! WARNING

Under no circumstances should dis-

connection of the throttle control wir-

ing harness be used as a substitute

for the monitor switch during normal

operation of the snowmobile. Per-

sonal 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 snow-

mobile must be operated with a dis-

connected throttle control wiring

harness, EXTREME CAUTION MUST

BE TAKEN. NEVER EXCEED 10 MPH

WITH THE THROTTLE CONTROL

WIRING HARNESS DISCONNECTED.
