Fuses; Brake System - Yamaha SRS10ML53 Owner's Manual

Fuses

Fuses protect the snowmobile electrical
system from overloading. If electrical
parts in the snowmobile are not working,
the system may have been overloaded and
caused a blown fuse. Before repairing or
replacing any electrical part, check the
appropriate fuses. If a fuse blows (opens a
circuit), all the parts of the snowmobile
that use that circuit will not work.
Once which fuse to check has been deter-
mined, perform the following steps:
1. Remove both access panels and the
hood. Locate the fuse block in front
of the engine.

NOTE: There are spare fuses
beneath the fuse block cover.
2. Remove the suspected fuse.

NOTE: Fuse function descriptions
are next to the fuse contacts in the
fuse block.
3. Look through the clear side of the
fuse to see if the element inside is
burned or separated. If it is, the fuse is
blown and should be replaced with a
fuse of the correct amperage rating.
WARNING
Always replace a fuse with one hav-
ing the same specified amperage
rating. Using a fuse with a higher
rating can cause severe wire dam-
age and could start a fire.
4. Install the fuse block cover and
install the hood and access panels.
Even after replacing a fuse, it may con-
tinue to blow if the cause of the overload
is not determined. If the fuse continues to
blow, take the snowmobile to an autho-
rized Yamaha Snowmobile dealer for ser-
vice. If not under warranty, this service is
at the discretion and expense of the
snowmobile owner.

Brake System

Yamaha recommends that the brake sys-
tem (brake lever, fluid reservoir, hose,
caliper, pads, and brake disc) be checked
daily for fluid leakage, wear, or damage
and for proper operation. Also, the brake
fluid level must be checked every time
before starting the engine.
DO NOT operate the snowmobile
when the brake lever lock is
engaged or when any component in
the brake system is damaged,
worn, or adjusted improperly. If the
snowmobile is operated and the
brake system is not functioning
properly, severe personal injury
could result.

brake fluid level must be at the high
brake fluid mark in the reservoir.
