Safety information
16
ESU10183
As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible
for the safe and proper operation of your
snowmobile. When you ride your snowmo-
bile, you must know and use the following for
your safety. Severe injury or death may result
if you ignore any of the following.
Before you operate your snowmobile
Read the Owners Manual and all labels.
Become familiar with all of the operating
controls and their function. Consult a
Yamaha dealer about any control or func-
tion you do not understand.
Wear protective clothing. Wear an ap-
proved helmet, and a face shield or gog-
gles. Also, wear a good quality snowmobile
suit, boots, and a pair of gloves or mittens
that will permit use of your thumbs and fin-
gers for operation of the controls.
Do not operate the snowmobile after or
while drinking alcohol or taking drugs. Your
ability to operate the snowmobile is re-
duced by the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Prepare your snowmobile
Perform the pre-operation checks each
time you use the vehicle to make sure it is
in safe operating condition. Failure to in-
spect or maintain the vehicle properly in-
creases the possibility of an accident or
equipment damage. See page 48 for a list
of pre-operation checks.
Apply the parking brake before starting the
engine. Never drive the snowmobile with
the parking brake applied. This may over-
heat the brake disc and reduce braking abil-
ity.
While using your snowmobile
This snowmobile was not manufactured for
use on public streets, roads, or highways.
Such use is prohibited by law, and you
could collide with another vehicle.
This snowmobile is designed to carry the
OPERATOR ONLY. Passengers are pro-
hibited. Carrying a passenger can cause
loss of control.
Be careful where you ride. There may be
obstacles hidden beneath the snow. Stay
on established trails to minimize your expo-
sure to hazards. Ride slowly and cautiously
when you ride off of established trails. Hit-
ting a rock or stump, or running into wires
could cause an accident and injury.
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.
Safety information
17
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.
Many surfaces such as ice and hardpacked
snow require much longer stopping distanc-
es. Be alert, plan ahead and begin deceler-
ating early. The best braking method on
most surfaces is to release the throttle and
apply the brake gently—not suddenly.
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon monox-
ide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide
can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness,
nausea, confusion, and eventually death.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless,
tasteless gas which may be present even if
you do not see or smell any engine exhaust.
Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can collect
rapidly and you can quickly be overcome and
be unable to save yourself. Also, deadly lev-
els of carbon monoxide can linger for hours or
days in enclosed or poorly-ventilated areas. If
you experience any symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning, leave the area immedi-
ately, get fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL
TREATMENT.
Do not run the engine indoors. Even if you
try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or
open windows and doors, carbon monoxide
can rapidly reach dangerous levels.
Do not run the engine in poorly ventilated or
partially enclosed areas such as barns, ga-
rages, or carports.
Do not run the engine outdoors where en-
gine exhaust can be drawn into a building
through openings such as windows and
doors.
Genuine Yamaha Accessories
Choosing accessories for your snowmobile is
an important decision. Genuine Yamaha Ac-
cessories, which are available only from a
Yamaha dealer, have been designed, tested,
and approved by Yamaha for use on your
snowmobile. Many companies with no con-
nection to Yamaha manufacture parts and ac-
cessories or offer other modifications for
Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in a position
to test the products that these aftermarket
companies produce. Therefore, Yamaha can
neither endorse nor recommend the use of
accessories not sold by Yamaha or modifica-
tions not specifically recommended by
Yamaha, even if sold and installed by a
Yamaha dealer.
Maintenance and storage
When laying the snowmobile on its side for
maintenance, use a suitable stand to keep
it in a stable and level position.
Do not leave the snowmobile on its left side
for an extended period of time. Fuel may
leak out from the fuel breather hose.
Do not allow anyone to stand behind the
snowmobile when starting, inspecting, or
adjusting the snowmobile. A broken track,
track fittings, or debris thrown by the track
could be dangerous to the operator or by-
standers.
Modifications made to the snowmobile not
approved by Yamaha, or the removal of
original equipment may render your snow-
mobile unsafe for use, which may cause se-
vere personal injury. Modifications may
also make the snowmobile illegal to use.
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,
Safety information

clothes dryers, and the like. Allow the en-
gine to cool off before storing the snowmo-
bile in an enclosed space.

ESU10312
Throttle lever
Once the engine is running cleanly, squeez-
ing the throttle lever will increase the engine
speed and cause engagement of the drive
train. Regulate the speed of the snowmobile
by varying the throttle position. Because the
throttle is spring-loaded, the snowmobile will
decelerate, and the engine will return to idle
when it is released.
ESU10347
Throttle override system
(T.O.R.S.)
WARNING
EWS00041
If the T.O.R.S. is activated, make sure that
the cause of the malfunction has been cor-
rected and that the engine can be operated
without a problem before restarting the
engine. Continuing to operate with a mal-
function could cause loss of control or
damage.
If the throttle valves or throttle cable malfunc-
tions during operation, the T.O.R.S. will be ac-
tivated when the throttle lever is released.
The T.O.R.S. is designed to override the fuel
injection and limit the engine speed to less
than the clutch engagement speed if the throt-
tle valves fail to return to the idle position
when the throttle lever is released. (See page
98 for the clutch engagement speed.)

go off, the engine oil level is sufficient, howev-
er it is getting low. Add engine oil as soon as
possible.
If the warning indicator and the warning light
do not go off, check the engine oil level in the
oil tank (see page 69 for engine oil level
checking procedures), and add engine oil if
necessary.
If the warning indicator and the warning light
still remain on, have a Yamaha dealer check
the snowmobile.
Oil pressure warning
The warning indicator comes on and “OP-LO
(oil pressure low) appears in the odometer
display if the engine oil pressure is low when
the engine is started. At the same time, the
engine speed is limited to less than the clutch
engagement speed until the warning indicator
goes off.
If the engine oil pressure remains low for one
minute, the engine stops. If this occurs, have
a Yamaha dealer check the snowmobile.
TIP
If there is no engine oil in the oil passages
when the engine is started, such as after the
engine oil is changed, the warning indicator
may come on and “OP-LO” may appear in the
odometer display for a few seconds until the
oil circulates through the engine. The snow-
mobile can be operated normally after the
warning indicator goes off.

Fuel
WARNING
EWS00071
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are ex-
tremely flammable. To avoid fires and ex-
plosions and to reduce the risk of injury
when refueling, follow these instructions.
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in the
tank.
1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and
be sure that nobody is on the snowmo-
bile. Never refuel while smoking, or while
in the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as the pilot
lights of water heaters and clothes dry-
ers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop filling
when the fuel reaches the bottom of the
filler tube. Because fuel expands when it
heats up, heat from the engine or the sun
can cause fuel to spill out of the fuel tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
4. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed se-
curely by turning it clockwise.

WARNING
EWS00680
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause inju-
ry or death. Handle gasoline with care.
Never siphon gasoline by mouth. If you
should swallow some gasoline or inhale a
lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gasoline
in your eyes, see your doctor immediately.
If gasoline spills on your skin, wash with
soap and water. If gasoline spills on your
clothing, change your clothes.
Your Yamaha engine has been designed to
use unleaded gasoline with a research octane
number of 95 or higher. (For Canada and
Russia, regular unleaded gasoline with a
pump octane number [(R+M)/2] of 86 or high-
er, or a research octane number of 91 or high-
er.)
NOTICE
ECS00093
Make sure that snow or ice does not en-
ter the fuel tank when refueling.
The fuel tank should be filled with the
recommended gasoline. The use of oth-
er gasoline will cause severe damage to
internal engine parts, such as the valves
and piston rings, as well as to the ex-
haust system.
For CANADA
Oxygenated fuels (gasohol) containing
a maximum 10% of ethanol (E10) can be
used, although richer jetting may be re-
quired to prevent engine damage. Con-
sult a Yamaha dealer. Gasohol
containing methanol is not recommend-
ed.
Do not use alcohol deicers or water ab-
sorbing additives with oxygenated fuel.
ESU10874
Suspension
The suspension can be adjusted to suit rider
preference. Softer settings, for example, may
provide greater rider comfort, while harder
settings may allow more precise handling and
control over certain types of terrain or riding
conditions.
If you are not familiar with suspension adjust-
ments, have a Yamaha dealer make these
adjustments.

(FX10/FX10XT/FX10XT75)
WARNING
EWS00720
The spring preload of the left and right
shock absorbers must be adjusted to the
same setting. Uneven settings can cause
poor handling and loss of stability.
The spring preload can be adjusted by turning
the adjusting nuts.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. To increase the spring preload and there-
by harden the suspension, turn the ad-
justing nut in direction (a). To decrease
the spring preload and thereby soften the
suspension, turn the adjusting nut in di-
rection (b).
TIP
The spring preload setting is determined by
measuring distance A, shown in the illustra-
tion. The longer distance A is, the higher the
spring preload; the shorter distance A is, the
lower the spring preload.
3. Tighten the locknut to the specified

TIP
This model is equipped with:
an engine oil pressure switch to stop the en-
gine in case an engine oil pressure drop is
detected. To start the engine after this sys-
tem has stopped the engine, be sure to
place the snowmobile on a level surface,
and then turn the key in the main switch to
the off position, and then to the on position.
Failing to do so will prevent the engine from
starting even though the engine will crank
when turning the key to the start position. If
the engine does not start or if it stops again,
ask a Yamaha dealer to inspect the snow-
mobile.
an engine overheating prevention system,
which prevents overheating when the en-
gine is idling. When the engine has been
idling for 3 minutes or longer and the cool-
ant temperature has risen above 100 °C
(212 °F), the engine automatically stops to
prevent overheating. The engine can be
started after it stops.
ESU11303

Break-in
There is never a more important period in the
life of your engine than the period between 0
and 500 km (300 mi). For this reason, you
should read the following material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not put an
excessive load on it for the first 500 km (300
mi). The various parts in the engine wear and
polish themselves to the correct operating
clearances. During this period, prolonged full-
throttle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be avoided.
Operating your snowmobile for the
first time
Start the engine and let it idle for 15 minutes.
0–160 km (0–100 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 6000 r/min.
160–500 km (100–300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 8000 r/min.
500 km (300 mi) and beyond
The snowmobile can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE
ECS00340
After 800 km (500 mi) of operation, the
engine oil must be changed and the oil
filter cartridge replaced.
If any engine trouble should occur dur-
ing the engine break-in period, immedi-
ately have a Yamaha dealer check the

Riding your snowmobile
Getting to know your snowmobile
WARNING
EWS00211
To avoid severe injury or death:
Keep both hands on the handlebar dur-
ing operation.
Never put your feet outside the running
boards.
Avoid higher speeds or more difficult
maneuvers until you have become thor-
oughly familiar with your snowmobile
and all of its controls.
A snowmobile is a rider active vehicle, and
your riding position and your balance are the
two basic factors of maneuvering your snow-
mobile.
Riding your snowmobile requires skills ac-
quired through practice over a period of time.
Take the time to learn the basic techniques
well before attempting more difficult maneu-
vers.
Riding your new snowmobile can be a very
enjoyable activity, providing you with hours of
pleasure. However, it is essential to familiar-
ize yourself with the operation of the snowmo-
bile to achieve the skill necessary to enjoy
riding safely. Before operating the snowmo-
bile, read this Owner’s Manual completely
and understand the operation of the controls.
1. Start
Operation
52
Pay particular attention to the safety informa-
tion on page 16.
Please read all warning and notice labels on
your snowmobile.
Also, read the Snowmobiler’s Safety Hand-
book that is supplied with your snowmobile
(for Canada).
Learning to ride your snowmobile
Before you ride, always perform the pre-oper-
ation checks listed on page 48. The short time
spent checking the condition of the snowmo-
bile will be rewarded with added safety and a
more reliable snowmobile. Always wear the
proper clothing for both warmth and to help
protect you from injury if an accident occurs.
Become familiar with operating your snowmo-
bile at low speeds, even if you are an experi-
enced rider. Do not attempt to operate at
maximum performance until you are totally fa-
miliar with the snowmobile’s handling and
performance characteristics.
The beginning operator should select a large
flat area to become familiar with the snowmo-
bile. Make sure that this area is free of obsta-
cles and other traffic. You should practice
control of the throttle and brake, and master
turning techniques in this area before trying
more difficult terrain.
Set the parking brake and follow the instruc-
tions on page 50 to start the engine. Once the
engine has warmed up, you are ready to be-
gin riding your snowmobile.
To start out and accelerate
1. With the engine idling, release the park-
ing brake.
2. Apply the throttle slowly and smoothly.
The V-belt clutch will engage and you will
start to accelerate. WARNING! Do not
allow anyone to stand behind the
snowmobile when starting the engine.
A broken track, track fittings, or debris
thrown by the track could be danger-
ous to bystanders. [EWS00690]
Braking
WARNING
EWS00220
Many surfaces such as ice and hard-
packed snow require much longer stop-
ping distances. Be alert, plan ahead, and
begin decelerating early.
Improper use of the brake can cause the
drive track to lose traction, reduce con-
trol, and increase the possibility of an
accident.
When slowing down or stopping, release the
throttle and apply the brake gently—not sud-
denly.
Turning
For most snow surfaces, “body English” is the
key to turning.
As you approach a curve, slow down and be-
gin to turn the handlebar in the desired direc-
tion. As you do so, put your weight on the
running board to the inside of the turn and
lean your upper body into the turn.
This procedure should be practiced at low
speeds many times, in a large flat area with no
obstacles. Once you have learned this tech-
nique, you should be able to perform it at high-
Operation

Traversing a slope
WARNING
EWS00251
Driving across the face of a slope (“side-
hilling”) can lead to overturn or loss of
control if proper techniques are not used.
Follow these instructions to reduce your
risk of an accident. Do not try steeper or
more difficult inclines until you have de-
veloped your skill on gentle slopes.
Traversing a slope requires you to properly
position your weight to maintain proper bal-
ance. As you travel across the slope, lean
your body to position your weight towards the
uphill side. A recommended riding position is
to kneel with the knee of your downhill leg on
the seat and the foot of your uphill leg on the
running board. This position will make it easi-
er for you to shift your body weight as needed.
Snow and ice are slippery, so be prepared for
the possibility that your snowmobile could be-
gin to slip sideways on the slope. If this hap-
pens, steer in the direction of the slide if there
are no obstacles in your path. As you regain
proper balance, gradually steer again in the
direction you wish to travel.
If your snowmobile starts to tip, steer down
the hill to regain balance. WARNING! If you
are unable to maintain correct balance,
and your snowmobile is going to tip over,
dismount your snowmobile immediately
on the uphill side to avoid being hit or
caught under the snowmobile as it tips
over. [EWS00261]
Ice or icy surface
WARNING
EWS00270
When you have to operate on ice or icy
surfaces, drive slowly and cautiously.
Avoid accelerating, turning, and braking
rapidly. Steering is minimal and uncon-
trolled spins are an ever-present danger.
Operating on ice or icy surfaces can be very
dangerous. Traction for turning, stopping, and
starting is much less than that on snow.
Hard-packed snow
It can be more difficult to negotiate on hard-
packed snow as both the skis and drive track
do not have as much traction as when the
snowmobile is operated on fresh snow. Avoid
rapid acceleration, turning, and braking.
Operation on surfaces other than
snow or ice
Operation of your snowmobile on surfaces
other than snow or ice should be avoided. Op-
eration under such conditions will damage or
result in rapid wear of the ski runners, drive

Strap (FX10M53S/FX10M62S)
The strap should be used only by experienced
operators to assist them when traverse (side-
hill) riding.
WARNING
EWS00290
Improper use of the strap on the handlebar
can result in severe injury or death.
Use the strap only as an operator grip
point when needed to shift weight uphill
to maintain balance during traverse
(side-hill) riding. Only experienced oper-
ators should traverse slopes steep
enough to require strap use.
Keep the right hand on the right handle-
bar grip for steering, and grip the strap
with the left hand to shift weight uphill
for balance during traverse riding.
Ride cautiously while using the strap.
Do not accelerate or decelerate abruptly
while holding onto the strap.
Do not use the strap to lift the snowmo-
bile.
Do not use the strap as a mounting point
for cargo or accessories.

Transporting
When transporting your snowmobile on a trail-
er or in a truck, observe the following recom-
mendations to help protect it from damage:
If transporting the snowmobile in an open
trailer or truck, put a tight fitting cover on the
snowmobile. A cover specifically designed
for your snowmobile is best. This will help
keep foreign objects out of the cooling
vents, and also help protect the snowmo-
bile against damage from debris on the
road.
If transporting the snowmobile in an open
trailer or truck in areas where road salt is
used, coat metal suspension surfaces light-
ly with oil or another protectant. This will
help protect against corrosion. Be sure to
clean the snowmobile when you get to your
destination to remove any corrosive salts.
Periodic maintenance and adjustment
59
ESU13181
Periodic inspection, adjustment, and lubrication will keep your snowmobile in the safest and
most efficient condition possible. Safety is an obligation of the vehicle owner/operator. The
most important points of vehicle inspection, adjustment, and lubrication are explained on the
following pages.
WARNING
EWS00341
Failure to properly maintain the snowmobile or performing maintenance activities incor-
rectly may increase your risk of injury or death during service or while using the snow-
mobile. If you are not familiar with snowmobile service, have a Yamaha dealer perform
service.
WARNING
EWS00700
Turn off the engine when performing maintenance unless otherwise specified.
A running engine has moving parts that can catch on body parts or clothing, and elec-
trical parts that can cause shocks or fires.
Running the engine while servicing can lead to eye injury, burns, fire, or carbon mon-
oxide poisoning–possibly leading to death. See page 16 for more information about
carbon monoxide.

High-altitude settings
Operating at high altitude reduces the perfor-
mance of a gasoline engine about 3% for ev-
ery 305 m (1000 ft) of elevation. This is
because there is less air as altitude increases.
Less air means less oxygen available for
combustion.
Your snowmobile utilizes an electronic fuel in-
jection system that delivers the optimal air/fu-
el ratio required by the engine. Therefore, the
fuel injection system does not need to be ad-
justed, even for operation at high altitude.
Remember:
Less air at higher altitude means there is less
horsepower available, even with the optimal
air/fuel ratio. Expect acceleration and top
speed to be reduced at higher altitudes.
To overcome operating with less power at
high altitudes, your snowmobile may also re-
quire different settings for the drive chain
gears and V-belt clutch to avoid poor perfor-
mance and rapid wear. If you plan to operate
your snowmobile at an altitude different from
the area where you bought it, be sure to con-
sult a Yamaha dealer. The dealer can tell you
if there are any changes necessary for the al-
titude where you plan to ride. NOTICE: The
drive chain gears and V-belt clutch should
be adjusted when operating above a high
altitude of 900 m (3000 ft). Consult a
Yamaha dealer. [ECS00431]

each ride. In addition, the cooling system
must be bled at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication chart.
WARNING
EWS00390
Do not remove the radiator 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 radiator cap, and
slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to
the detent. This procedure allows any re-
sidual pressure to escape. When the hiss-
ing sound has stopped, press down on the
cap while turning counterclockwise and
remove it.
To check the coolant level
1. Place the snowmobile on a level surface
and apply the parking brake.
2. Check the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir when the engine is cold. If the
coolant level is below the “LOW” mark,
add coolant until it reaches the “FULL
mark. (See the following section “Replen-
ishing the coolant” for more details.)
NOTICE: If coolant is not available,
use distilled water or soft tap water in-
stead. Do not use hard water or salt
water since it is harmful to the engine.
If water has been used instead of cool-
ant, replace it with coolant as soon as
possible, otherwise the cooling sys-
tem will not be protected against frost
and corrosion. If water has been add-
ed to the coolant, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the antifreeze content of the
coolant as soon as possible, other-
wise the effectiveness of the coolant
will be reduced. [ECS00492]

Battery
The battery is located behind the right side
cover. (See page 63 for right side cover re-
moval procedures.)
This model is equipped with a VRLA (Valve
Regulated Lead Acid) battery. There is no
need to check the electrolyte or to add distilled
water. However, the battery lead connections
need to be checked and, if necessary, tight-
ened.
WARNING
EWS00540
Battery electrolyte is poisonous and dan-
gerous. It contains sulfuric acid and can
cause severe burns. Avoid contact with
skin, eyes, or clothing.
ANTIDOTE:
EXTERNAL: Flush with water.
INTERNAL: Drink large quantities of wa-
ter or milk. Follow with milk of magne-
sia, beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Call
physician immediately.
EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep
sparks, flame, cigarettes, etc. away. Venti-
late when charging or using in an en-
closed space. Always shield your eyes
when working near batteries.
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
Charge or have a Yamaha dealer charge the
battery as soon as possible if it seems to have
discharged. Keep in mind that the battery
tends to discharge more quickly if the snow-
mobile is equipped with electrical accesso-
ries.
WARNING
EWS00610
Never smoke around the battery while it
is being charged. Sparks may ignite the
hydrogen gas created by the battery.
Disconnect the negative lead first, then
the positive lead from the battery.
Connect the positive lead first, then the
negative lead to the battery when install-
ing the battery.
Never connect the battery to or discon-
nect it from the snowmobile while it is
being charged. Sparks may ignite the
hydrogen gas created by the battery.
Make sure that the battery terminals are
tight.

The figures quoted are emission levels and
are not necessarily safe working levels. Whilst
there is a correlation between the emission
and exposure levels, this cannot be used reli-
ably to determine whether or not further pre-
cautions are required. Factors that influence
the actual level of exposure of work-force in-
clude the characteristics of the work room, the
other sources of noise, etc. i.e. the number of
machines and other adjacent processes, and
the length of time for which an operator is ex-
posed to the noise. Also the permissible expo-
sure level can vary from country. This
information, however, will enable the user of
the machine to make a better evaluation of
the hazard and risk.
