TIP
This model is equipped with:
an engine oil pressure switch to stop the
engine in case an engine oil pressure drop
is detected. To start the engine after this
system has stopped the engine, be sure to
place the snowmobile on a level surface,
and then turn the key in the main switch to
the off position, and then to the on position.
Failing to do so will prevent the engine from
starting even though the engine will crank
when turning the key to the start position. If
the engine does not start or if it stops
again, ask a Yamaha dealer to inspect the
snowmobile.
an engine overheating prevention system,
which prevents overheating when the en-
gine is idling. When the engine has been
idling for 3 minutes or longer and the cool-
ant temperature has risen above 100 °C
(212 °F), the engine automatically stops to
prevent overheating. The engine can be
started after it stops.
