    EBU35484 Be a responsible owner As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible for the safe and proper operation of your Yamaha YXZ10YMXM. While understanding all parts of this manual are important for vehicle ownership, be sure to read this chapter and the instructions in Chapter 8 before operating your Yamaha YXZ10YMXM.
  • Page 22 Before you operate your Yamaha YXZ10YMXM  Prepare yourself and your passenger: • This vehicle is intended for use only by an operator 16 or older with a valid motor vehicle li- cense. DRIVER UNDER • This vehicle is designed to carry the driver and one passenger. Never carry passengers in the cargo bed.
  • Page 23 • Do not drive or ride as passenger after using drugs or alcohol. Prepare your vehicle Perform the pre-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe oper- ating condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment damage.
  • Page 24 While using your Yamaha YXZ10YMXM  Keep your body completely inside the vehicle at all times. Keep both hands on the steering wheel except when operating the shift lever. Be sure the passenger is seated, belted, and hold- ing onto the passenger handhold. Close doors before driving. Any part of your body (arms, legs, and head) outside the vehicle can be struck by objects your vehicle is passing or crushed by the vehicle itself in a rollover accident.
  • Page 25 • Drive straight up and down inclines, not across them. If crossing a hill is unavoidable, drive slowly and turn downhill immediately if you feel the vehicle may tip. • Avoid paved surfaces. Turn gradually and go slowly if you must drive on pavement. This vehicle is designed for off-road use only.
  • Page 26  Do not operate the vehicle in fast-flowing water or water deeper than 40 cm (16 in). If you must cross shallow, slow-moving water, choose your path carefully to avoid sharp drop-offs, large rocks, or slippery surfaces. Operating this vehicle through deep or fast-flowing water can lead to loss of control or overturn.
  • Page 27 Many companies with no connection to Yamaha manufacture parts and accessories or offer oth- er 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 modifications not specifically recommended by Yamaha, even if sold and installed by a Yamaha dealer.
  • Page 28 Aftermarket tires and rims The tires and rims that came with your YXZ10YMXM were designed to match the performance capabilities and to provide the best combination of handling, braking, and comfort. Other tires, rims, sizes, and combinations may not be appropriate. Refer to page 9-56 for tire specifications and more information on replacing your tires.
