7-2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Doing things with a Rhino that some people do for thri lls in other vehicl es (such as si de- ways sliding, ski dding, fisht ailin g, or donuts) have led to side r ollovers. Thes e rollovers can result in c rushed limbs and ot her serious inj u- ries or deat h to driver s or passengers.
7-3 Driver requirements ● This vehicl e is intended for use onl y by an operator 16 or older with a valid motor vehi- cle license. ● The driver must be able to pl ace both feet flat on t he floorboard while seated upr ight with his/her back against the seat back.
7-4 Passenger requirements This vehicl e is desi gned for t he operator and one passenger. Carrying pas sengers improp- erly can lead to seri ous injury or deat h.
7-5 1. Pass enger h andhold W ARNING Do not make changes to the occupant pro- tection system. If you inst all aftermarket products or have your vehi cle modified, you may put yourself and others at greater risk of serious injury or death. You are re- sponsible for any such changes to the ve- hicle.
7-6 Protective structure The vehicle cage/frame provides a protect ive structure that helps li mit intrusions by br anch- es or other object s and may reduce y our risk of injury i n accidents. The prot ective s tructure will not protect occupants i n all rollover s or ac- cidents.
7-7 An unbelted occupant may strike t he interior of the vehicle, the protecti ve structure, or oth- er objects in an accident or during operation. You may also fall completely out or be parti al- ly ejected from the vehicle, whic h may lead t o being crushed bet ween the ground and t he vehicle.
7-8 2. If t he latch plat e is not posi tioned in the correct locati on along the seat belt, squeeze the l atch plate ends together along its long edges in or der to more eas- ily adjust i ts location up or down along the length of the belt. 3. Push th e latch plate into th e buckle until it clicks.
7-9 Doors The doors are designed t o reduce the likel i- hood that you wil l stick your leg out to s top the vehicle from tipping over or for any other rea- son in a roll over. The doors may al so reduce intrus ion of objects into the occupant area. Make sure the door is secur ely latched befor e operation.
7-10 Seat and hip restraints The seat and hi p restraint s are desi gned to help keep you in the vehicle. Do not hold onto hip restrai nt bar when the vehicle i s moving. Your hand or arm may be struck by objects or crushed against outside object s or t he ground during a r ollover.
7-11 Floorboard The floorboard all ows you to brace your feet, which helps you keep your body in the veh icle in the event of an acc ident or roll over. Keep your feet on the floorboard during operation. Steering wheel Keep both hands on the steering wheel.
7-12 LEARNING TO OPERATE YOUR VEHICLE Personal protective equipment 1. Approv ed moto rcycle helmet 2. Eye prote ction 3. Long-sle eved shirt or jac ket 4. Gloves 5. Long pa nts 6. Over-t he-ankle boots CORRECT GRIP EXAMPLE INCORRECT GRIP EXAMPLE 1 2 3 4 5 6 EE.

7-14 Become familiar wit h the way the vehicle f eels in low and high ranges, f irst in t wo-wheel drive (2WD) and then in four -wheel drive ( 4WD) and four-wheel dr ive with the differenti al locked (DIFF. LOCK). St eering may take more effort in 4WD with the differ ential locked (DIFF.
7-15 Turning Use c are in turns – t urning the st eering wheel too far or t oo fast can r esult in loss of control or a rollover. Slow down before enteri ng turns. When making tight turns fr om a standstill or at slow speeds, avoid sudden or hard accelera- tion.
7-16 Accelerating With the engi ne idling in neutral and your foot on the brake, shift the drive select lever into low or high. NO TI CE: D o not shift f rom low to high or vice versa without coming to a complete stop and waiting for the engine to r eturn to nor mal idl e sp eed – damage to the engine or dr ive train may occur .
7-17 Leaving the vehicle Do not get out of the vehicle while the engine is running and the drive select lever is in any gear. There is a risk of injury because: ● Children or others may accidental ly press the accelerator pedal. ● Objects tossed into the vehi cle may st rike the accelerator pedal.
7-18 4. With the br ake pedal applied, s et the parking brake. 5. Block t he front an d rear wheels with rocks or other objects. Loading The total weight of operator, passenger, ac- cessories, cargo, tr ailer tongue weight, and the vehicle it self must not exceed 907 kg (2,000 lb).
7-19 Hills Choose carefully which hills you att empt to climb or descend. Avoid hill s with slippery sur- faces or those where you wi ll not be able t o see far enough ahead of you. Use common sense and remember that some hill s are too steep for you to cli mb or descend.
7-20 Uphill Do not attempt to climb hill s until you have mastered basic maneuvers on fl at ground. Drive straight up hil ls, and avoid crossing the side of a hill, which increases your ri sk of roll- over. Practice first on gent le slopes before at- tempting steeper hills.
7-21 Downhill Check the terrain carefull y before going downhill. When possible, choose a path that lets you drive your vehicle straight downhill. Choose your path caref ully and drive slowly enough to be able to react t o obstacles that you encounter.
7-22 Rough terrain Operation over rough t errain should be done with caution. ● Look for and avoid obstacles that could cause damage to the vehicl e or could lead to a rollover or accident. ● Do not drive in a way that will get the Rhino airborne, as injur y, loss of control, and damage to the vehicle could occur.
7-23 NOT IC E After driving your vehicle in wate r, be sure to drain the trapped wat er by removing the check hose at the bottom of t he air filt er case, the V-belt cooling duct check hose, the drive select l ever box check hose and the V-belt case drain plug.
7-24 Brush or wooded areas When operating in areas with brush or tr ees, watch carefully on both s ides and above the vehicle for obstacles s uch as br anches that the vehicle might hit, causi ng an accident. Watch for brush that might enter the vehicle as you pass and strik e you or the pass enger.
