2009 YAMAHA RHINO 700 ground clearance

While using the Rhino

Keep your body completely inside the vehicle
at all times. Keep both hands on the steering
wheel. Be sure passenger is seated, belted,
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.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
This off-road vehicle will handle and maneuver dif-
ferently from cars, ATVs, go-carts, golf-cars and
grounds-keeping vehicles. The Rhino has higher
ground clearance and other features to handle
rugged terrain, and, as a result, can overturn in sit-
uations where some vehicles may not. This would
include vehicles made primarily for pavement,
roads, improved paths, or grounds-keeping. If you
do not use care in maneuvering the Rhino, you
can cause it to roll over even on flat, open areas.
Doing things with a Rhino that some people do for
thrills in other vehicles (such as sideways sliding,
skidding, back-wheel sliding, or donuts) have led
to side rollovers. These rollovers can result in
crushed limbs and other serious injuries or death
to drivers or passengers.

Operation on different surfaces and terrains
Go slowly and proceed with caution when operat-
ing on an unfamiliar surface or terrain. This vehicle
may handle differently in certain types of terrains
or on certain surfaces. You may come upon hid-
den rocks, bumps, or holes without enough time to
react. To avoid loss of control or rollover, always
be alert to changing surfaces or terrain when oper-
ating the vehicle.
The Rhino has higher ground clearance and other

can cause loss of control, including rollovers –
even on flat, open areas. These rollovers can re-
sult in crushed limbs and other serious injuries or
death to drivers or passengers.
