dures.) NOTICE: When adding the en-

14. Start the engine, and then let it idle for
several minutes while checking it for oil
leakage. If oil is leaking, immediately turn
the engine off and make sure that the en-
gine oil drain bolt, oil tank drain bolt, and
the oil filler cap are installed correctly.
15. Turn the engine off, and then connect the
oil level gauge coupler.
16. Install the bottom panel and the right low-
er cover.
17. Install the right side cover (PZ50RT /

side cover and the right upper cover, and
then close the shroud (PZ50VT).
NOTICE: If oil is leaking or the oil level
warning indicator comes on when the
engine is running, immediately turn
the engine off and have a Yamaha
dealer check the snowmobile. Con-
tinuing to operate the engine under
such conditions could cause severe
engine damage.
