Safety information
be unable to save yourself. Also, deadly lev-
els of carbon monoxide can linger for hours or
days in enclosed or poorly-ventilated areas. If
you experience any symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning, leave the area immedi-
ately, get fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL
TREATMENT.
Do not run the engine indoors. Even if you
G
try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or
open windows and doors, carbon monoxide
can rapidly reach dangerous levels.
Do not run the engine in poorly ventilated or
G
partially enclosed areas such as barns, ga-
rages, or carports.
Do not run the engine outdoors where en-
G
gine exhaust can be drawn into a building
through openings such as windows and
doors.
Genuine Yamaha Accessories
Choosing accessories for your snowmobile is
an important decision. Genuine Yamaha Ac-
cessories, which are available only from a
Yamaha dealer, have been designed, tested,
and approved by Yamaha for use on your
snowmobile. Many companies with no con-
nection to Yamaha manufacture parts and ac-
cessories or offer other 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 modifica-
tions not specifically recommended by
Yamaha, even if sold and installed by a
Yamaha dealer.
Maintenance and storage
When laying the snowmobile on its side for
G
maintenance, use a suitable stand to keep
it in a stable and level position.
Do not leave the snowmobile on its left side
G
for an extended period of time. Fuel may
leak out from the fuel breather hose.
4
Do not allow anyone to stand behind the
G
snowmobile when starting, inspecting, or
adjusting the snowmobile. A broken track,
track fittings, or debris thrown by the track
could be dangerous to the operator or by-
standers.
Modifications made to the snowmobile not
G
approved by Yamaha, or the removal of
original equipment may render your snow-
mobile unsafe for use, which may cause se-
vere personal injury. Modifications may
also make the snowmobile illegal to use.
Never store the snowmobile with fuel in the
G
fuel tank inside a building where ignition
sources are present such as hot water and
space heaters, an open flame, sparks,
clothes dryers, and the like. Allow the en-
gine to cool off before storing the snowmo-
bile in an enclosed space.
