Be a responsible owner
As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible for the safe and proper operation of your Yamaha
Viking. While understanding all parts of this manual are important for vehicle ownership, be sure
to read this chapter and the instructions in Chapter 7 before operating your Yamaha Viking. Also
use these two chapters and the labels on the vehicle to instruct new operators and passengers.
Do not allow anyone else to operate your vehicle or ride as a passenger if you are unsure that
he/she is willing and able to follow these instructions.

DRIVER
UNDER
16
• This vehicle is designed to carry the driver and two passengers. Never carry passengers in
the cargo bed.
• The driver and passengers should wear seat belts properly.
• The driver and passengers must be able to put both feet flat on the floorboard while seated
upright with their backs against the backrests. The passengers must be able to reach and
hold the passenger handhold within the cage/frame.
• The driver and passengers should wear an approved motorcycle helmet that fits properly.
The driver and passengers should also wear eye protection (goggles or a face shield), gloves,
over-the-ankle boots, long-sleeved shirt or jacket, and long pants.
2-2
UB5F7AE0.book Page 3 Tuesday, March 28, 2017 12:02 PM
Abrupt maneuvers or aggressive driving, even on flat, open areas, can cause loss of control,
including rollovers. The Viking has higher ground clearance and other features to handle rug-
ged terrain, and, as a result, can overturn in situations where some other vehicles may not.
2 Avoid rollovers:
• Use care when turning:
• Turning the steering wheel too far or too fast can result in a rollover.
• Avoid sideways sliding, skidding, or back-wheel sliding, and never do donuts.
• Slow down before entering a turn and avoid hard braking in a turn.
• When making tight turns from a stop or at slow speeds, avoid sudden or hard acceleration.
• 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.
2-4
UB5F7AE0.book Page 5 Tuesday, March 28, 2017 12:02 PM
If you think or feel that the vehicle may tip or roll, keep your body completely inside the protec-
tive structure of the vehicle:
• Brace yourself by pressing your feet firmly on the floorboard and keep a firm grip on the
steering wheel or passenger handhold. 2
• Do not put your hands or feet outside of the vehicle for any reason. Your arm or leg could be
crushed.
• Do not try to stop a vehicle tipover using your arm or leg.
Do not operate this vehicle on any public street, road, or highway, even if dirt or gravel.
Do not operate the vehicle in fast-flowing water or water deeper than 37 cm (15 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. To reduce your risk of drowning or other injuries, use care when
crossing through water.
When loaded with cargo or towing a trailer:
• Reduce speed, operate in low gear only, and allow more room to stop.
• Avoid hills and rough terrain. Use extreme caution when towing or carrying a load on inclines.
• Load trailer properly and use extra care when towing or pulling.
Do not tow or pull objects from any part of the vehicle other than the trailer hitch bracket or
winch (if installed).
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 unable to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon monoxide
2 can linger for hours or days in enclosed or poorly-ventilated areas. If you experience any symp-
toms of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area immediately, get fresh air, and SEEK MED-
ICAL TREATMENT.
Do not run engine indoors. Even if you try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open win-
dows and doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.
Do not run engine in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed areas such as barns, garages, or
carports.
Do not run engine outdoors where engine exhaust can be drawn into a building through open-
ings such as windows and doors.

When the knob is set to “DIFF LOCK” or “4WD”, the differential gear lock indicator and indica-

When the indicator and indicator light are flashing, turning the steering wheel back and forth
will help the differential gear lock to engage or disengage.
Driving with the differential gear not properly engaged or disengaged (e.g., when the indicator

The Viking comes with a variety of features to
help reduce the risk of driver and passenger
injury. These features work together, and
when properly used, these features will help
