Accessories

Accessories can affect the handling and control of

your ATV. Keep the following in mind when consid-

ering an accessory or operating an ATV which has

accessories.

●

Choose only accessories designed for your

ATV. Your Yamaha dealer has a variety of gen-

uine Yamaha accessories. Other accessories

may also be available on the market. However,

it is not possible for Yamaha to test all non-

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Parking on a hill or other incline.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

The ATV could roll out of control, increasing

the chance of an accident.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Avoid parking on hills or other inclines. If

you must park on an incline, place the ATV

transversely across the incline, shift into

first gear, stop the engine, apply the parking

brake, and then block the front and rear

wheels with rocks or other objects.

Do not park the ATV at all on hills that are so

steep you could not walk up them easily.
