AVERTISSEMENT
Charge maximale dans la caisse : 136 kg (300 lbs) Charge maximale du véhicule : 327 kg (721 lbs)
Une charge ou une remorque peut nuire à la maniabilité et à l’équilibre du véhicule.
Lors du transport d’une charge ou lors du remorquage :
Lire le Manuel du propriétaire avant de charger le véhicule, de tirer ou de remorquer une charge.
– Ne pas dépasser la limite de charge nominale pour la caisse de chargement, le timon et le véhicule.
– Réduire la vitesse et prévoir une distance de freinage accrue.– Négocier les virages progressivement et lentement.– Éviter les pentes et les terrains accidentés.
– Arrimer solidement toute charge – un article mal arrimé pourrait nuire soudainement à la maniabilité ou être projeté vers l’avant et heurter un occupant.– Répartir le poids de la charge de façon équilibrée et le plus bas possible dans la caisse; une charge mal équilibrée augmente le risque de capotage.– Ne tirer ni ne remorquer aucun objet d’un point autre que la fixation du timon ou le treuil (le cas échéant).
Le mauvais usage de la caisse de chargement ou de l’arceau de protection peut provoquer de graves blessures ou la mort par suite d’une perte de contrôle, d’un capotage ou d’un accident quelconque.

WARNINGGasoline and gasoline vapors are ex-tremely flammable. To avoid fires and ex-plosions and to reduce the risk of injurywhen refueling, follow these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the engine andbe sure that no one is sitting in the vehi-cle.Never refuel while smoking, or while inthe vicinity of sparks, open flames, orother sources of ignition such as the pilotlights of water heaters and clothes dry-ers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Because fuelexpands when it heats up, heat from theengine or the sun can cause fuel to spillout of the fuel tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.4. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed se-
curely.

Before you shift into reverse, make surethere are no obstacles or people behindyou. When it is safe to proceed, go slowly.Hitting an obstacle or person could resultin serious injury or death.
1. Stop the vehicle, take your foot off the ac-celerator pedal, and check behind you.
2. Apply the brake pedal.3. Shift from neutral to reverse or vice versa
by moving the drive select lever along theshift guide.When in reverse, the reverse indicator
light should be on. If the light does notcome on, ask a Yamaha dealer to in-spect the reverse indicator light electri-cal circuit.
Due to the synchronizing mechanism inthe engine, the light may not come onuntil the vehicle starts moving.

Pulling something other than a trailerYamaha recommends that loads be trans-ported in the bed or in a trailer. If you need tomove an object a short distance use a winchand follow the winch manufacturer’s instruc-tions.If you choose to use something other than awinch use extreme caution, follow the manu-facturer’s instructions for that product, andonly attach to the hitch or hitch bracket of theWolverine. WARNING! Improperly pullingcan cause serious injury or death. Neverexceed the pulling load limit of theWolverine. Avoid pulling on inclines. [EWB03330]
Pulling objects on the ground can be morehazardous than pulling a trailer. It may be dif-ficult to predict how the load will affect vehicleoperation. That effect could also change de-pending upon terrain or what obstacles mightbe in the object’s path.

Seat beltsSeat belts should be worn by the driver andpassenger. The driver must be sure that thepassenger is belted before driving.Be sure the seat belt is not twisted, is close-
fitting across the hips and chest, and islatched securely.
Do not wear the seat belt across the abdo-men or stomach.
Do not put the seat belt behind the back.Failure to use seat belts properly may lead toan increased likelihood and severity of injury.An unbelted occupant may strike the interiorof the vehicle, the protective structure, or oth-er objects in an accident or during operation.You may also fall completely out or be partial-ly ejected from the vehicle, which may lead tobeing crushed between the ground and thevehicle.

TurningUse care in turns – turning the steering wheeltoo far or too fast can result in loss of controlor a rollover. Slow down before enteringturns. When making tight turns from a stand-still or at slow speeds, avoid sudden or hardacceleration. Driving aggressively or makingabrupt maneuvers even on flat, open areascan cause side rollovers. Avoid sideways slid-ing, skidding, or fishtailing, and never do do-nuts.

Avoid higher speeds and sudden or hard ac-celeration until you are thoroughly familiarwith the operation of your vehicle. Avoid sud-den or hard acceleration in any turn.
BrakingWhen slowing down or stopping, take yourfoot off the accelerator pedal and press thebrake pedal smoothly. Improper use of thebrakes can cause the tires to lose traction, re-ducing control of the vehicle and increasingthe possibility of an accident.Braking ability is affected by type of terrain. Inmost cases, gradual application of the brakesis more effective than abrupt braking, partic-ularly on loose surfaces, such as gravel. Al-ways allow for greater braking distance onrough, loose, or slippery surfaces.

Cleaning the air filter elementThe air filter element should be cleaned every20–40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubri-cated more often if the vehicle is operated inextremely dusty areas. Each time air filter ele-ment maintenance is performed, check the airinlet to the air filter case for obstructions.Check the air filter element rubber joint to thethrottle body and manifold fittings for an air-tight seal. Tighten all fittings securely to avoidthe possibility of unfiltered air entering the en-gine.
NOTICEECB02270
Never operate the engine with the air filterelement removed. Doing so would allowunfiltered air to enter, causing rapid en-gine wear and possible engine damage.Additionally, the fuel injection systemwould be affected, resulting in poor engineperformance and possible overheating.
