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

Yamaha dealer.
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-

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 se-
vere personal injury. Modifications may

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-
