SAFETY INFORMATION

When you ride your snowmobile, you must know and use the following for your safety. Severe injury or death may result if you ignore any of the following.

Before operating

1.Read the Owner’s Manual and all labels before operating this snowmobile. Become familiar with all of the operating controls and their function. Consult a Yamaha dealer about any control or function you do not understand.

2.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.

3.SX600 and VX600ER are designed to carry the OPERATOR ONLY.

Passengers are prohibited. Carrying a passenger can cause loss of control.

4.Do not operate the snowmobile after drinking alcohol or taking drugs. Your ability to operate the snowmobile is reduced by the influence of alcohol or drugs.

5.For safety and proper care of the snowmobile, always perform the pre-operation checks on pages 6-1–6-9 before starting the engine. Check the throttle, brake, and steering for proper operation every time before starting the engine. Make sure that the throttle lever moves freely and it returns to the home position when it is released.

6.Apply the parking brake before starting the engine. Never drive the snowmobile with the parking brake applied. This may overheat the brake disc and reduce

braking ability.

7.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 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 immediately.

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 quality snowmobile suit, boots, and a pair of gloves or mittens 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 sprockets.

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 snowmobile is to be stored for an extended period.

5.Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

Throttle lever

Once the engine is running cleanly, squeezing a the throttle lever 1 will increase the engine speed and cause engagement of the drive system. 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 b.

WARNING

Check the throttle, brake, and steering for proper operation before starting the engine.

ESU00023

Throttle override system (T.O.R.S.)

If the carburetor or throttle cable should malfunction during operation, the T.O.R.S. will operate when the throttle lever is released.

The T.O.R.S. is designed to interrupt the ignition and keep the engine revolution speed between 2,800 and 3,000 r/min if the carburetor fails to return to idle when the lever is released.

WARNING

●If the T.O.R.S. is activated, make sure that the cause of the malfunction has been corrected and that the engine can be operated without a problem before restarting the engine.

●Be sure to use the specified spark plug and spark plug cap. Otherwise, the T.O.R.S. will not work properly.

Yamaha sports snowmobiles in 2011 were represented by only three models: FX Nytro R-TX, FX Nytro X-TX and APEX X-TX. All these models are suitable for fast driving along natural
trails and are of the rough trail type. It is important to recall that all of these models are 4-stroke. This is the general policy of Yamaha on environmentally friendly technology. Let us focus
on the new product of 2011 for the Russian market — the Yamaha APEX X-TX model. This is the first snowmobile to feature an EPS electric power steering system that sets new standards for handling
and stability. This model is equipped with a modified four-cylinder engine with an EXUP exhaust system and a fuel injection system. These improvements were made in order to significantly increase
peak power and torque at low and medium ranges of engine speed. A long 144 ”/ 3658mm track, new front suspension geometry, Dual Shock® suspensions and wide skis make it easy to cross any trails.
