3. This machine 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 machine. 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 have other snowmobilers with you 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. Modifications made to the machine not approved by Yamaha, or the removal of original equipment may render your machine unsafe for use and may cause severe personal injury. Modifications may also make your machine illegal to use. 2. Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside a building where ignition sources are present such as hot water and space heaters, open flame, spark, clothes dryers, and the like. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. 3. Always refer to "STORAGE" for important details if the machine is to be stored for an extended period. 4. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary. 3-3
