Foreword
Congratulations! You have chosen a quality Yamaha Snowmobile designed and
assembled to give dependable service. Be sure, as the owner/operator of a Yamaha
Snowmobile, to become thoroughly familiar with its basic operation, maintenance,
and off-season storage procedures. Read this manual and the accompanying Snow-
mobile Safety Handbook before operating the snowmobile to learn safe and proper
use of your new Yamaha Snowmobile. Always operate the snowmobile within your
level of skill and current terrain conditions.
The Operator’s Manual, Snowmobile Safety Handbook, and Snowmobile Decals dis-
play the words Warning, Caution, and Note to emphasize important information. The
symbol
WARNING
identifies personal safety-related information. Be sure to fol-
low the directive because it deals with the possibility of serious personal injury or
even death. A
CAUTION
identifies unsafe practices which may result in snowmo-
bile-related damage. Follow the directive because it deals with the possibility of dam-
aging part or parts of the snowmobile. The symbol
NOTE:
identifies
supplementary information worthy of particular attention.
This manual covers operator-related maintenance, operating instructions, and off sea-
son storage instructions. If major repair or service is ever required, contact an autho-
rized Yamaha Snowmobile dealer for professional service.
At the time of publication, all information and illustrations were technically correct.
Some illustrations used in this manual are used for clarity purposes only and are not
designed to depict actual conditions. Because Yamaha constantly refines and
improves its products, no retroactive obligation is incurred.
This Operator’s Manual should be considered a permanent part of the snowmobile
and must remain with the snowmobile at the time of resale. If the snowmobile
changes ownership more than once, contact your yamaha.
Every Yamaha Snowmobile meets or exceeds the standards of the Snowmobile
Safety and Certification Committee and displays the SSCC decal. Yamaha endorses
and encourages the safe use of all snowmobiles. Always wear a helmet and eye pro-
tection. Drive with caution, observe all state and local regulations, and respect the
rights of others. ISMA members like Yamaha do their part to improve trails, sponsor
events, and generally support the sport of snowmobiling. As a member of the Natio-
nal Snowmobile Foundation, Yamaha promotes snowmobiling through education,
charity, and research programs.
