ally death. Carbon monoxide is a colorless,
odorless, tasteless gas which may be present
even if you do not see or smell any engine ex-
haust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can
collect rapidly and you can quickly be over-
come and be unable to save yourself. Also,
deadly levels of carbon monoxide can linger
for hours or days in enclosed or poorly-venti-
lated areas. If you experience any symptoms
of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the
area immediately, get fresh air, and SEEK
MEDICAL TREATMENT.
 Do not run the engine indoors. Even if you
try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or
open windows and doors, carbon monox-
ide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.
 Do not run the engine in poorly ventilated
or partially enclosed areas such as barns,
garages, or carports.
 Do not run the engine outdoors where en-
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
accessories 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.
Safety information
Maintenance and storage
 When laying the snowmobile on its side for
maintenance, use a suitable stand to keep
it in a stable and level position.
 Do not leave the snowmobile on its left side
for an extended period of time. Fuel may
leak out from the fuel breather hose.
 Do not allow anyone to stand behind the
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
approved by Yamaha, or the removal of
original equipment may render your snow-
mobile unsafe for use, which may cause
severe personal injury. Modifications may
also make the snowmobile illegal to use.
 Never store the snowmobile with fuel in the
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.
