Drive Belt Break-In; Deluxe Digital Gauge - Yamaha SXV4NP Operator's Manual

Drive Belt Break-In

Drive belts require a break-in period of
40 km (25 miles). Drive the snowmobile
for 40 km (25 miles) at 3/4 throttle or
less. By revving the engine up and down
(but not exceeding 100 km/h [60 mph]),
the exposed cord on the side of a new belt
will be worn down. This will allow the
drive belt to gain its optimum flexibility
and will extend drive belt life.

NOTE: Before starting the snowmo-
bile in extremely cold temperatures,
the drive belt should be removed and
warmed up to room temperature.
Once the drive belt is at room tem-
perature, install the drive belt.
CAUTION
Never run the engine with the drive
belt removed. Excessive revving of the
engine could result in serious engine
damage and drive clutch failure.

Deluxe Digital Gauge

A. Coolant Temperature
Indicator
The indicator flashes when cold-starting
the engine. The indicator and LOW
TEMP display will cease to flash when
the engine reaches proper operating tem-
perature.
If the coolant temperature rises above the
operating temperature, the indicator will
flash at 70° C (158° F). Once the coolant
temperature reaches the specified tem-
perature of 75° C (167° F), the tempera-
ture sensor will signal the ECM to go into
rich mode to protect the engine while
overheating. At this time, the indicator
will cease flashing and will remain con-
tinuously illuminated.
If the indicator is continuously illumi-
nated, stop the engine immediately and
allow it to cool down. If unable to either
determine or remedy the problem, take
the snowmobile
Yamaha Snowmobile dealer for service.
If not under warranty, this service is at
the discretion and expense of the snow-
mobile owner.
B. High Beam Indicator
The indicator is on whenever the high
beam mode is selected by the headlight
switch.
C. Low Oil Indicator
The indicator is designed to alert the
snowmobile operator when the oil in the
oil injection tank gets below a prescribed
level. Once the indicator illuminates
during operation of the snowmobile, the
operator must periodically monitor the
level of oil in the reservoir and must fill
the reservoir the next time gasoline is
CWI-050A
added to the gas tank.
If the indicator does not go out or if the
engine does not start, take the snowmo-
bile to an authorized Yamaha Snowmo-
bile dealer. If not under warranty, this
service is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.
D. Low Fuel Indicator
The indicator illuminates whenever the
gas level in the gas tank is low.
