Rough terrain Operation over rough terrain should be done with caution. G Look for and avoid obstacles that could cause damage to the vehicle or could lead to a rollover or accident. G Do not drive in a way that will get the Rhino airborne, 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 slowly if you must drive on pavement. Water If you must cross shallow, slow-moving water up to the depth of the vehicle's floorboards, choose your path carefully to avoid sharp drop-offs, large rocks, or slippery surfaces that could cause the vehicle to overturn. Never operate through water deeper than 33 cm (13 in) or fast-flowing water. Choose a path where both your entrance into and exit point from the water is a gradual incline. Determine the water depth and currents before crossing. Operating this vehicle through deep or fastflowing water can lead to loss of control or overturn. To reduce your risk of drowning or other injuries, use care when crossing through water. Wet brakes may have reduced effectiveness. After leaving the water, test your brakes. If necessary, apply the brakes several times to let friction dry out the linings. 7-22
