ESU11453
Periodic inspection, adjustment, and lubrication will keep your snowmobile in the safest and
most efficient condition possible. Safety is an obligation of the vehicle owner/operator. The
most important points of vehicle inspection, adjustment, and lubrication are explained on the
following pages.
WARNING
EWS00342
Failure to properly maintain the snowmobile or performing maintenance activities incor-
rectly may increase your risk of injury or death during service or while using the snow-
mobile. If you are not familiar with snowmobile service, have a Yamaha dealer perform
service.
WARNING
EWS00701
Turn off the engine when performing maintenance unless otherwise specified.
A running engine has moving parts that can catch on body parts or clothing, and elec-
trical parts that can cause shocks or fires.
Running the engine while servicing can lead to eye injury, burns, fire, or carbon mon-
oxide poisoning–possibly leading to death. See page 8 for more information about
carbon monoxide.
WARNING
EWS00791
Brake discs, calipers, and linings can become very hot during use. To avoid possible
burns, let brake components cool before touching them.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and systems may
be performed by any repair establishment or individual that is certified (if applicable).
Proper periodic maintenance of your snowmobile is important in order to enjoy long, pleasur-
able use. Especially important are the maintenance services related to emission control.
These controls not only function to ensure cleaner air, but are also vital to proper engine op-
eration and maximum performance. In the following periodic maintenance charts, the services
related to emission control are grouped separately. These services require specialized data,
knowledge, and equipment. Yamaha dealers are trained and equipped to perform these par-
ticular services.
