ACCESSORIES AND
LOADING
Accessories
Accessories can affect the handling
and control of your vehicle. Keep the
following in mind when considering
an accessory or operating a utility
vehicle which has accessories.
l
Choose only accessories designed
for your utility vehicle. Your Yamaha
dealer has a variety of genuine
Yamaha accessories. Other acces-
sories may also be available on the
market. However, it is not possible
for Yamaha to test all non-Yamaha
accessories, nor have any control
over the quality or suitability of
them. Choose a genuine Yamaha
accessory, or one that is equivalent
in design and quality.
l
Accessories should be rigidly and
securely mounted. An accessory
which can shift position or come
off while you are operating could
affect your ability to control the
utility vehicle.
l
Do not mount an accessory where
it could interfere with your ability to
control the utility vehicle. Examples
include (but are not limited to) an
object that limits your ability to turn
the steering wheel or one that limits
your view.
l
Use extra caution when driving a
utility vehicle with accessories. The
utility vehicle may handle differently
than it does without accessories.
l
Never operate on slopes that are
slippery or ones where you will not
be able to see far enough ahead
of you. Never go over the top of a
slope at speed if you cannot see
what is on the other side.
l
Always check terrain carefully
before going down slopes. Go as
slowly as possible. Never go down
a slope at high speed.
l
Always check for obstacles before
operating in a new area.
l
Never operate the vehicle in fast
flowing water or water deeper than
15 cm (6 in). Remember that wet
brakes may have reduced stop-
ping ability. Test your brakes after
leaving water. If necessary, apply
them several times to let friction
dry out the linings.
