NOTICEAfter driving your vehicle in water, be sure
to drain the trapped water by removing the
check hoses at the bottom of the air filter
case and air duct, the V-belt cooling duct
check hose, the drive select lever box
check hose and the V-belt case drain plug.
Wash the vehicle in fresh water if it has
been operated in salt water or muddy con-
ditions.
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 skid-
ding or sliding. To avoid loss of control, slow
down and put the Rhino in four-wheel drive
before driving on a slippery surface and plan
your path to avoid making abrupt maneuvers.
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, to regain
directional control. For example, if you feel the
back of the vehicle start to slide to your right,
steer to the right.

6. Wash the sponge material gently butthoroughly in parts cleaning solvent.
WARNING! Using gasoline or other
flammable solvents to clean the air fil-
ter element can cause a fire or explo-
sion, which could lead to serious
injury.
7. Squeeze the excess solvent out of the sponge material. NOTICE: Do not twist
the sponge material when squeezing
it. 8. Wash the sponge material in warm soapy
water to remove remaining solvent, then
rinse thoroughly with plain warm water.
9. Squeeze excess water out of the sponge material. NOTICE: Do not twist the
sponge material when squeezing it.
10. Allow the sponge material to dry thor- oughly. Inspect the sponge material and
replace it if damaged.
11. Thoroughly apply Yamaha foam air filter oil or other quality liquid foam air filter oil
(not spray type) to the sponge material.
The sponge material should be wet but
not dripping.
12. Pull the sponge material over its frame.
13. Install the air filter element.

14. Insert the projections on the air filter casecover into the holders on the air filter
case, and then install the air filter case
cover by hooking the holders onto the
cover.1. Projection ( × 2) 2. Holder ( × 2)15. Install the air intake duct shroud by in-
stalling the quick fastener screws.
16. Close the hood. The air filter element should be cleaned every
20–40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubri-
cated more often if the vehicle is operated in
extremely dusty areas. Each time air filter ele-
ment maintenance is performed, check the air
inlet to the air filter case for obstructions.
Check the air filter element rubber joint to the
throttle body and manifold fittings for an air-
tight seal. Tighten all fittings securely to avoid
the possibility of unfiltered air entering the en-
gine.
NOTICENever operate the engine with the air filter
element removed. This will allow unfiltered
air to enter, causing rapid engine wear and
possible engine damage. Additionally, op-
eration without the air filter element will af-
fect the fuel injection system with
subsequent poor performance and possi-
ble engine overheating.
