Periodic maintenance and adjustment Tightening torques: Engine oil drain bolt (crankcase): 30 Nm (3.0 m·kgf, 22 ft·lbf) Engine oil drain bolt (oil tank): 16 Nm (1.6 m·kgf, 11 ft·lbf) 11. Add 2.0 L (2.11 US qt, 1.76 Imp.qt) of the recommended engine oil to the oil tank, and then install and tighten the oil filler cap. 12. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it off. 13. Remove the oil filler cap, and then add sufficient oil of the recommended type to raise it to the "H" level mark on the dipstick. (See above for checking procedures.) NOTICE: When adding the engine oil, be careful not to fill above the "H" level mark on the dipstick. Use only the recommended oil. (See page 80.) Make sure that no foreign material enters the engine oil tank. [ECS00462] 15. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, immediately turn the engine off and make sure that the engine oil drain bolt, oil tank drain bolt, and the oil filler cap are installed correctly. 16. Turn the engine off, and then connect the oil level gauge coupler. 17. Install the bottom panel and the right lower cover, and then install the right side cover and the shroud. NOTICE: If oil is leaking or the oil level warning indicator comes on when the engine is running, immediately turn the engine off and have a Yamaha dealer check the snowmobile. Continuing to operate the engine under such conditions could cause severe engine damage. [ECS00471] ESU12015 Cooling system The coolant level should be checked before each ride. In addition, the cooling system must be bled at the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart. EWS00380 WARNING Do not remove the coolant reservoir cap when the engine is 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 towel over the coolant reservoir cap, and slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent. This procedure allows any residual pressure to escape.

Cooling system
The coolant level should be checked before
each ride. In addition, the cooling system
must be bled at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication chart.
WARNING
EWS00380
Do not remove the coolant reservoir cap
when the engine is hot. Scalding hot fluid
and steam may be blown out under pres-
sure, which could cause serious injury.
When the engine has cooled, place a thick
rag or towel over the coolant reservoir
cap, and slowly rotate the cap counter-
clockwise to the detent. This procedure al-
lows any residual pressure to escape.
When the hissing sound has stopped,
press down on the cap while turning coun-
terclockwise and remove it.
To check the coolant level
1.
Place the snowmobile on a level surface
and apply the parking brake.
