7-59
Rough terrain
Operation over rough terrain should be done with
caution.

Look for and avoid obstacles that could cause
damage to the vehicle or could lead to a roll-
over or accident.


Do not drive in a way that will get the Rhino air-
borne, as injury, loss of control, and damage to
the vehicle could occur.
Pavement
This vehicle is designed for off-road use only.
Avoid paved surfaces. Turn gradually and go slow-
ly if you must drive on pavement.
When driving slowly on smooth, flat surfaces, con-
sider using the “DIFF UNLOCK” drive mode. Hav-
ing both differentials unlocked will provide greater
slow-speed maneuverability under such condi-
tions than operation with locked differentials.

Front differential gear oil
Checking the front differential gear oil level
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Loosen the front differential gear oil level
check bolt until oil flows out.
3. If no oil flows out, remove the front differential
gear oil filler bolt, and add the recommended
type of oil in the oil filler hole until it flows out
of the oil level check bolt hole. NOTICE: Be
sure no foreign material enters the front
differential gear case.
4. Tighten the oil level check bolt to the speci-
fied torque.
Tightening torque:
Front differential gear oil level check bolt:
10 Nm (1.0 m·kgf, 7.2 ft·lbf)

Changing the front differential gear oil
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place a container under the front differential
gear case to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the oil filler bolt and front differential
gear oil drain bolt to drain the oil.
4. Reinstall the drain bolt, and tighten it to the
specified torque. Tightening torque:

mended front differential gear oil. NOTICE:
Be sure no foreign material enters the
front differential gear case.
6. Reinstall the oil filler bolt, and then tighten it to
the specified torque.
7. Check for oil leakage. If oil leakage is found,
check for the cause. Recommended oil:

Rear differential gear oil
Checking the rear differential gear oil level
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the rear differential gear oil filler bolt,
and then check the oil level in the rear differ-
ential gear case. The oil level should be at the
brim of the filler hole.
3. If the oil is below the brim of the filler hole,
add sufficient oil of the recommended type to
raise it to the correct level. NOTICE: Be sure
no foreign material enters the rear differ-
ential gear case.
4. Reinstall the oil filler bolt, and then tighten it to
the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
Rear differential gear oil filler bolt:
