Be a responsible owner

be sure to read this chapter and the instructions in Chapter 8 before operating your Yamaha
WolverineX4. Also use these two chapters and the labels on the vehicle to instruct new operators
and passengers. Do not allow anyone else to operate your vehicle or ride as a passenger if you
are unsure that he/she is willing and able to follow these instructions.

Get to know your vehicle

This off-road vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from cars, ATVs, go-carts, golf-cars
and grounds-keeping vehicles. Follow these instructions to reduce your risk of an accident and
to reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident.

Before you operate your Yamaha WolverineX4

Prepare yourself and your passengers:
• This vehicle is intended for use only by an operator 16 or older with a valid motor vehicle li-

cense.
