    Wolverine RMAX2. While understanding all parts of this manual are important for vehicle owner- ship, be sure to read this chapter and the instructions in Chapter 8 before operating your Yamaha Wolverine RMAX2. Also use these two chapters and the labels on the vehicle to instruct new op- erators and passengers.
  • Page 29 Before you operate your Yamaha Wolverine RMAX2  Prepare yourself and your passenger: • This vehicle is intended for use only by an operator 16 or older with a valid motor vehicle li- cense. Check local laws for minimum age requirements.
  • Page 30  Secure cargo so that it will not shift – a loose load could change handling unexpectedly or be thrown forward and strike occupants. While using your Yamaha Wolverine RMAX2  Keep your body completely inside the vehicle at all times. Keep both hands on the steering wheel.
  • Page 31  Abrupt maneuvers or aggressive driving, even on flat, open areas, can cause loss of control, including rollovers. The Wolverine RMAX2 has higher ground clearance and other features to handle rugged terrain, and, as a result, can overturn in situations where some other vehicles may not.
  • Page 32 • Avoid paved surfaces. Turn gradually and go slowly if you must drive on pavement. This vehicle is designed for off-road use only.  If you think or feel that the vehicle may tip or roll, keep your body completely inside the protec- tive structure of the vehicle: •...
  • Page 33 Genuine Yamaha Accessories Choosing accessories for your Wolverine RMAX2 is an important decision. Genuine Yamaha Ac- cessories, which are available only from a Yamaha dealer, have been designed, tested, and ap- proved by Yamaha for use on your Wolverine RMAX2.
  • Page 34 Many companies with no connection to Yamaha manufacture parts and accessories or offer oth- er modifications for Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in a position to test the products that these aftermarket companies produce. Therefore, Yamaha can neither endorse nor recommend the use of accessories not sold by Yamaha or modifications not specifically recommended by Yamaha, even if sold and installed by a Yamaha dealer.
