  • Page 20: Safety Information

    EVU00070 SAFETY INFORMATION Be a responsible owner As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible for the safe and proper operation of your Rhino. 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 the Rhino.
  • Page 21 Before you operate the Rhino ● Prepare yourself and your passenger: • This vehicle is intended for use only by an operator 16 or older with a valid motor vehicle li- cense. Check country laws for minimum age requirements. DRIVER UNDER •...
  • Page 22 Prepare your vehicle Perform the pre-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe operat- ing condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an ac- cident or equipment damage. See pages 5-1–5-2 for a list of pre-operation checks. Prepare your load or trailer Carrying loads, towing a trailer, or pulling objects can affect handling, stability, and cause the risk of overturns or other accidents.
  • Page 23 While using the Rhino Keep your body completely inside the vehicle at all times. Keep both hands on the steering ● wheel. Be sure the passenger is seated, belted, and holding onto the handholds. Close doors before driving. Any part of your body (arms, legs, and head) outside the vehicle can be struck by objects your vehicle is passing or crushed by the vehicle cage/frame in a rollover accident.
  • Page 24 ● 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. •...
  • Page 25 ● 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 floorboards and keep a firm grip on the steering wheel or handholds.
  • Page 26 Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion, and eventually death. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas which may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust.
  • Page 27 Many companies with no connection to Yamaha manufacture parts and accessories or offer other modifications for Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in a position to test the products that these af- termarket companies produce. Therefore, Yamaha can neither endorse nor recommend the use of accessories not sold by Yamaha or modifications not specifically recommended by Yamaha, even if sold and installed by a Yamaha dealer.
  • Page 28 Aftermarket tires and rims The tires and rims that came with your Rhino were designed to match the performance capabili- ties and to provide the best combination of handling, braking, and comfort. Other tires, rims, sizes, and combinations may not be appropriate. Refer to pages 8-44–8-46 for tire specifications and more information on replacing your tires.
