Getting ready to ride Perform the Pre-Operation Checks on pages 5-1-5-11. Follow the instructions starting on page 6-2 to start the engine. Once it has warmed up and you have turned the choke off, you are ready to begin driving your vehicle. Turning Use care in turns - turning the steering wheel too far or too fast can result in loss of control or a rollover. Slow down before entering turns. When making tight turns from a standstill or at slow speeds, avoid sudden or hard acceleration. Driving aggressively or making abrupt maneuvers even on flat, open areas can cause side rollovers. Avoid sideways sliding, skidding, or fishtailing, and never do donuts. If you feel the Rhino begin to slide sideways or fishtail during a turn, steer into the direction of the slide, if possible, and gradually let off the accelerator pedal 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. 7-14

Getting ready to ride
Perform the Pre-Operation Checks on pages
5-1–5-11. Follow the instructions starting on
page 6-2 to start the engine. Once it has
warmed up and you have turned the choke
off, you are ready to begin driving your vehi-
cle.
Turning
Use care in turns – turning the steering wheel
too far or too fast can result in loss of control
or a rollover. Slow down before entering turns.
When making tight turns from a standstill or at
slow speeds, avoid sudden or hard accelera-
tion. Driving aggressively or making abrupt
maneuvers even on flat, open areas can
cause side rollovers. Avoid sideways sliding,
skidding, or fishtailing, and never do donuts. If
you feel the Rhino begin to slide sideways or
fishtail during a turn, steer into the direction of
the slide, if possible, and gradually let off the
accelerator pedal 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.
