WARNING
EWS00341
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

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 5 for more information about
carbon monoxide.
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 operation 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 particular services.
