NOTICE
After 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.
