Remember: less air at higher altitude means there is less horsepower available, even with proper carburetion. Expect acceleration and top speed to be reduced at higher altitudes. To overcome operating with less power at high altitudes, your snowmobile may also require different settings for the drive chain gears and V-belt clutch to avoid poor performance and rapid wear. If you plan to operate your snowmobile at an altitude different from the area where you bought it, be sure to consult a Yamaha dealer. They can tell you if there are any changes necessary for the altitude where you plan to ride. CAUTION: @ The drive chain gears and V-belt clutch should be adjusted when operating over a high altitude of 900 m (3,000 ft). Consult a Yamaha dealer. @ ESU00160 Cooling system Air bleeding the cooling system WARNING @ G G Do not remove the coolant filler cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. When the engine has cooled, place a thick rag or a towel over the coolant filler cap, slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent. This procedure allows any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning counterclockwise and remove it. The cooling system must be bled of air if the coolant reservoir becomes empty, if air can be seen in the cooling system, or if there is a cooling system leak. Consult a Yamaha dealer. 8-10 @
