RIDE WITH CARE AND GOOD 
JUDGEMENT

Get training if you are inexperienced. 

Beginners should get training from a certified
instructor. 
Become familiar with this ATV at slow speeds
first, even if you are an experienced operator.
Do not attempt to operate at maximum perfor-
mance until you are totally familiar with the
machine’s handling and performance charac-
teristics.

Riding your machine requires skills ac-
quired through practice over a period of
time. 

Take the time to learn the basic techniques
well before attempting more difficult maneu-
vers.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD 
Operating this ATV without proper in-
struction. 
WHAT CAN HAPPEN 
The risk of an accident is greatly in-
creased if the operator does not know
how to operate the ATV properly in dif-
ferent situations and on different types
of terrain. 

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD 
Beginning and inexperienced operators
should complete the certified training
course offered by Yamaha. They should
then regularly practice the skills learned
in the course and the operating tech-
niques described in this Owner’s Manu-
al. For more information about the
training course, contact an authorized
ATV dealer or call 1-800-887-2887.
