Turning
Use care in turns – turning the steering wheel too
far or too fast can result in loss of control or a roll-
over. Slow down before entering turns. When
making tight turns from a standstill or at slow
speeds, avoid sudden or hard acceleration. Driv-
ing aggressively or making abrupt maneuvers
even on flat, open areas can cause side rollovers.
Avoid sideways sliding, skidding, or back-wheel
sliding, and never do donuts. If you feel the Rhino
begin to slide sideways or the back wheels slide
during a turn, steer into the direction of the slide, if
possible, and gradually let off the accelerator ped-
al to regain directional control and avoid rollover.
For example, if you feel the back of the vehicle
start to slide to your right, steer to the right.

If you think or feel that the vehicle may tip or roll,
keep your body completely inside the protective
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.


Do not put your hands or feet outside of the ve-
hicle for any reason. Do not try to stop a tipover
using your arm or leg.

Parking on a slope
The parking brake acts only on the rear wheels
when in 2WD. For the parking brake to take effect
on all four wheels, shift to 4WD Diff. Lock before
stopping the engine.
If you park on a hill that is too steep the vehicle
may roll out of control. Never park on hills that are
so steep you cannot walk up them easily. If you
must park on an incline follow these instructions:
1. Bring the vehicle to a stop by applying the
brakes.
2. Put the vehicle in 4WD Diff. Lock.
3. Turn the engine off.
4. With the brake pedal applied, set the parking
brake.
5. Block the front and rear wheels with rocks or
other objects.

Hills
Choose carefully which hills you attempt to climb
or descend. Avoid hills with slippery surfaces or
those where you will not be able to see far enough
ahead of you. Use common sense and remember
that some hills are too steep for you to climb or de-
scend. Use proper driving techniques to avoid
rearward, forward, or sideways rollovers on hills
and slopes.
Drive straight up and down inclines, not across
them. If crossing a hill is unavoidable, drive slowly.
Turn downhill immediately if you feel the vehicle
may tip.
If you think or feel the Rhino may tip or roll:

Brace yourself by pressing your feet firmly on
the floorboards and keep a firm grip on the
steering wheel or handholds.


Do not put your hands or feet outside of the ve-
hicle for any reason.

Loose terrain/slippery terrain
When driving on slippery terrain, including wet,
muddy, or icy conditions, as well as loose gravel,
be aware that you could begin skidding or sliding.
To avoid loss of control, slow down and put the
Rhino in 4WD before driving on a slippery surface
and plan your path to avoid making abrupt maneu-
vers.
If you feel the Rhino begin to slide sideways or the
back wheels slide during a turn, steer into the di-
rection of the slide if possible, to regain directional
control. For example, if you feel the back of the ve-
hicle start to slide to your right, steer to the right.

Checking the front and rear brake pads
Each brake pad is provided with wear indicator
grooves, which allow you to check the brake pad
wear without having to disassemble the brake. To
check the brake pad wear, check the wear indica-
tor grooves. If a brake pad has worn to the point
that the wear indicator grooves have almost disap-
peared, have a Yamaha dealer replace the brake
pads as a set.
The wheels need to be removed to check the
brake pads. (See pages 8-111–8-117 for wheel re-
moval and installation procedures.)

Wheel installation
1. Install the wheel and the nuts.

The arrow mark on the tire must point to-
ward the rotating direction of the wheel.


Tapered nuts are used for both the front and
rear wheels. Install the nuts with their tapered
side towards the wheel.
2. Lower the vehicle so that the wheel is on the
ground.
3. Tighten the wheel nuts to the specified
torque.WARNING
Do not reverse the rims on the Rhino to widen
the track width. Installing wheels improperly
increases the risk of wheel failure and acci-
dents.
