Snowmobile Yamaha RX1 (2003 year). Manual - part 4

 

 

3-2

7. Do not allow anyone to stand behind the snowmobile

when starting, inspecting, or adjusting the snowmo-
bile. A broken track, track fittings, or debris thrown by
the track could be dangerous to the operator or
bystanders.

8. Handle fuel with care; it is HIGHLY FLAMMABLE.

Never add fuel when the engine is running or hot. 
Allow the engine to cool for several minutes after
running.

Use an approved fuel container.

Fill the fuel tank outdoors with extreme care.
Never remove the fuel cap indoors. Never fill the
fuel tank indoors.

Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an
open flame.

Make sure that the fuel tank cap is closed securely
after refueling. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately.

9. If you swallow some gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline

vapor, or get some gasoline into your eyes, see your
doctor immediately. If any gasoline spills on your skin
or clothing, immediately wash your skin with soap
and water, and change your clothes.

10. Wear protective clothing. Wear an approved helmet,

and a face shield or goggles. Also, wear a good qual-
ity snowmobile suit, boots, and a pair of gloves or mit-
tens that will permit use of your thumbs and fingers
for operation of the controls.

Operation

1. Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting

the engine to transport the snowmobile in or out of
the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust fumes
are dangerous.

2. Be careful where you ride. There may be obstacles

hidden beneath the snow. Stay on established trails
to minimize your exposure to hazards. Ride slowly
and cautiously when you ride off of established trails.
Hitting a rock or stump, or running into wires could
cause an accident and injury.

3. This snowmobile 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 snowmobile.

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 sprock-
ets.

5. Always ride with other snowmobilers 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. Do not leave the snowmobile on its left side for an

extended period of time. Fuel may leak out from the
fuel breather hose.

2. Modifications made to the snowmobile not approved

by Yamaha, or the removal of original equipment may
render your snowmobile unsafe for use that may
cause severe personal injury. Modifications may also
make the snowmobile illegal to use.

3. Never store the snowmobile with fuel in the fuel tank

inside a building where ignition sources are present
such as hot water and space heaters, an open flame,
sparks, clothes dryers, and the like. Allow the engine
to cool off before storing the snowmobile in an
enclosed space.

4. Always refer to the “STORAGE” section if the snow-

mobile is to be stored for an extended period.

5. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as

necessary.
