SAFETY INFORMATION

When you ride your snowmobile, you must know and use

the following for your safety. Severe injury or death may

result if you ignore any of the following.

Before operating

1. Read the Owner’s Manual and all labels before oper-

ating this snowmobile. Become familiar with all of the

operating controls and their function. Consult a

Yamaha dealer about any control or function you do

not understand.

2. This snowmobile was not manufactured for use on

public streets, roads, or highways. Such use is pro-

hibited by law, and you could collide with another

vehicle.

3. SXV60 and SXV60ER are designed to carry the

OPERATOR ONLY. 

Passengers are prohibited. Carrying a passenger

can cause loss of control.

4. Do not operate the snowmobile after drinking alcohol

or taking drugs. Your ability to operate the snowmo-

bile is reduced by the influence of alcohol or drugs.

5. For safety and proper care of the snowmobile, always

perform the pre-operation checks on pages 6-1–6-9

before starting the engine. Check the throttle, brake,

and steering for proper operation every time before

starting the engine. Make sure that the throttle lever

moves freely and it returns to the home position when

it is released.

6. Apply the parking brake before starting the engine.

Never drive the snowmobile with the parking brake

applied. This may overheat the brake disc and reduce

braking ability.
