This manual has been prepared by Yamaha primarily for use by Yamaha dealers and their
trained mechanics when performing maintenance procedures and repairs to Yamaha equip-
ment. It has been written to suit the needs of persons who have a basic understanding of the

detail from the descriptions and illustrations given in this publication. Use only the latest edi-
tion of this manual. Authorized Yamaha dealers are notified periodically of modifications and
significant changes in specifications and procedures, and these are incorporated in succes-
sive editions of this manual.

SAFETY WHILE WORKING
SAFETY WHILE WORKING 1
The procedures given in this manual are
those recommended by Yamaha to be fol-
lowed by Yamaha dealers and their
mechanics.
FIRE PREVENTION
Gasoline (petrol) is highly flammable.
Petroleum vapor is explosive if ignited.
Do not smoke while handling gasoline and
keep it away from heat, sparks and open
flames.
1030
VENTILATION
Petroleum vapor is heavier than air and is
deadly if inhaled in large quantities. Engine
exhaust gases are harmful to breathe.
When test-running an engine indoors,
maintain good ventilation.
1040
SELF-PROTECTION
Protect your eyes with suitable safety
glasses or safety goggles, when grinding or
when doing any operation which may
cause particles to fly off. Protect hands and
feet by wearing safety gloves or protective
shoes if appropriate to the work you are
doing.
1050
OILS, GREASES AND SEALING
FLUIDS
Use only genuine Yamaha oils, greases and
sealing fluids or those recommended by
Yamaha.
