WARNING CAUTION: NOTE: NOTICE This manual was written by the Yamaha Motor Company primarily for use by Yamaha dealers and their qualified mechanics. It is not possible to put an entire mechanic’s education into one manual, so it is assumed that persons using this book to perform maintenance and repairs on Yamaha snowmobiles have a basic under- standing of the mechanical concepts and pro- cedures inherent in snowmobile repair. Without such knowledge, attempted repairs or service to this model may render it unfit and / or unsafe to use. Yamaha Motor Company, Ltd. is continually striving to improve all models manufactured by Yamaha. Modifications and significant changes in speci- fications or procedures will be forwarded to all authorized Yamaha dealers and will, where ap- plicable, appear in future editions of this manu- al.

1 1-2 IMPORTANT INFORMATION GEN INFO IMPORTANT INFORMATION PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL AND DISASSEMBLY 1. Remove all dirt, mud, dust, and foreign material before removal and disassembly. While cleaning, take care to protect the electrical parts, such as relays, switches, motor, resistors, controllers, etc., from high pres- sure water splashes. 2. Use proper tools and cleaning equipment. Refer to “SPECIAL TOOLS”. 3. When disassembling the machine, keep mated parts together. This includes gears, cylinders, pistons, and other parts that have been “mated” through normal wear. Mated parts must be reused or replaced as an assembly. 4. During disassembly of the machine, clean all parts and place them in trays in the order of disassembly. This will speed up as- sembly time and help ensure that all parts are reinstalled correctly. 5. Keep all parts away from any source of fire. 6. Be sure to keep to the tightening torque specifications. When tightening bolts, nuts, and screws, start with those that have larger diameters, and proceed from the inside to the outside in a criss- cross pattern. ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS We recommend using genuine Yamaha parts for all replacements. Use oil and grease recommended by Yamaha for assembly and ad- justments.
