The longevity and safety of the snowmo-
bile can be increased by making periodic
checks of the items in the preceding
checklist.
If, at any time, abnormal noises, vibra-
tions, or improper working conditions of
any component of this snowmobile are
detected, DO NOT OPERATE THE
SNOWMOBILE. Take the snowmobile
to an authorized Yamaha Snowmobile
dealer for inspection and adjustment or
repair. If not under warranty, this service
is at the discretion and expense of the
snowmobile owner.
The snowmobile should be taken to an
authorized Yamaha Snowmobile dealer at
the end of each snowmobiling season for
general inspection and for off-season
storage servicing. This inspection and
servicing is at the expense of the snow-
mobile owner.
Fuel System
In-Line Fuel Filter
Yamaha recommends that the in-line fuel
filter be replaced every 8000 km (5000
miles). The filter must be clean to allow
the fuel hose to transmit the amount of
gasoline required.
If the in-line fuel filter is obstructed, gas-
oline flow will be restricted; therefore,
the filter must be replaced. To remove
and install the in-line fuel filter, use the
following procedure:
NOTE: Before removing the fuel fil-
ter, take note that the filter is direc-
tional and the arrow should be
directed towards the engine.
NOTE: The fuel filter is located
below the upper console and to the
right of the steering support. To
access the filter, the access panels
and hood need to be removed.
1. Remove the hose clamps and dis-
card; then slowly remove the fuel
hoses from the fuel filter. Dispose of
the excess fuel from the filter prop-
erly.
2. Inspect the fuel hoses thoroughly for
any signs of cracking, cuts, or wear
points.
3. Place the new hose clamps on the
fuel hoses; then with the fuel pump
inlet and outlet noted, connect the
fuel hoses to the fuel filter. Secure
with the hose clamps.
XM184A
NOTE: After completing the
changing of the fuel filter and the
engine is started for the first time,
inspect the filter area for any signs
of leaks.
Gasoline Additives
Fuel de-icer can be used for all models.
Yamaha Fuel Stabilizer should also be
added to the last tank of gasoline before
storage.
Fuel Pickup Valves
If ever there is a restricted fuel flow and a
pickup valve is suspected, take the snow-
mobile to an authorized Yamaha Snowmo-
bile dealer for this service. If not under
warranty, this service is at the discretion
and expense of the snowmobile owner.
! WARNING
Whenever any maintenance or
inspection is made on the fuel sys-
tem in which there may be fuel leak-
age, there should be no welding,
smoking, open flames, etc., in the
area.
! WARNING
Since the fuel supply hose may be
under pressure, always wear safety
glasses; then remove the hose slowly
to release the pressure. Place an
absorbent towel around the connec-
tion to absorb the fuel.
CAUTION
Make sure the fuel filter is properly
seated into the holder.
