Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank.
WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are extremely flam-
mable. To avoid fires and explosions and to re-
duce the risk of injury when refueling, follow these
instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and be
sure that driver and passenger are outside
the vehicle.
Never refuel while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or other sourc-
es of ignition such as the pilot lights of water
heaters and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Because fuel ex-
pands when it heats up, heat from the engine
or the sun can cause fuel to spill out of the
fuel tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
4. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed securely.

Portable gas containers
If you carry a portable gas can in the bed of the
Rhino, be sure to secure it with the cap tightened
before driving the vehicle.
Always place a portable gas container on the
ground before filling it. Before removing the con-
tainer cap, touch the container with the gas dis-
penser nozzle. Keep gas dispenser nozzle in
contact with container inlet when filling. WARN-
ING! Never refill a fuel container in the bed of
any vehicle. Fire may result from a build-up of
static electricity. The discharge of this build-up
while refueling can cause a spark and ignite
the gasoline.
