DRIVER
UNDER16
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 vehi-
cle license. Check country laws for minimum
age requirements.
This vehicle is designed to carry the driver
and one passenger. Never carry passen-
gers in the cargo bed.
Both driver and passenger should wear seat
belts properly.
Both driver and passenger must be able to
put both feet flat on the floorboard while
seated upright with their backs against the
backrests. Passenger must be able to reach
and hold the handholds within the cage/
frame.
1RB60-EE.book Page 3 Thursday, April 7, 2011 10:43 AM

2-9
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, belt-
ed, 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.


Watch for branches, brush, or other hazards
that could enter the vehicle.


Abrupt maneuvers or aggressive driving, even
on flat, open areas, can cause loss of control,
including rollovers. The Rhino has higher
ground clearance and other features to handle
rugged terrain, and, as a result, can overturn in
situations where some other vehicles may not.
