3. This snowmobile is not designed for use on surfaces other than snow or ice. Use on dirt, sand, grass, rocks, or bare pavement may cause loss of control and may damage the snowmobile. 4. Avoid operating on glare ice, or on snow which has a lot of dirt or sand mixed in. Operation under such conditions will damage or result in rapid wear of ski runners, drive track, slide runners, and drive sprockets. 5. Always ride with other snowmobilers when going on a ride. You may need help if you run out of fuel, have an accident, or damage your snowmobile. 6. Many surfaces such as ice and hard-packed snow require much longer stopping distances. Be alert, plan ahead and begin decelerating early. The best braking method on most surfaces is to release the throttle and apply the brake gently-not suddenly. Maintenance and storage 1. Do not leave the snowmobile on its left side for an extended period of time. Fuel may leak out from the fuel breather hose. 2. Modifications made to the snowmobile not approved by Yamaha, or the removal of original equipment may render your snowmobile unsafe for use that may cause severe personal injury. Modifications may also make the snowmobile illegal to use. 3. 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 engine to cool off before storing the snowmobile in an enclosed space. 4. Always refer to the "STORAGE" section if the snowmobile is to be stored for an extended period. 5. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary. 3-3
