2010 YAMAHA RHINO 700 parking brake

7-43
Leaving the vehicle
Do not get out of the vehicle while the engine is
running and the drive select lever is in any gear.
There is a risk of injury because:

Children or others may accidentally press the
accelerator pedal.


Objects tossed into the vehicle may strike the
accelerator pedal.


The parking brake may not keep the vehicle
from accelerating.
Unwanted vehicle movement can cause serious
injury or death, and it may be dangerous to try to
stop the vehicle.

Parking on a flat area
When parking on a flat area, stop the engine and
shift the drive select lever into the neutral position.
Apply the parking brake to help prevent the vehicle
from rolling.
Parking on a slope
The parking brake acts only on the rear wheels
when in “DIFF UNLOCK” and “2WD”. For the park-
ing brake to take effect on all four wheels, shift to
“DIFF LOCK” before stopping the engine.
If you park on a hill that is too steep the vehicle
may roll out of control. Never park on hills that are
so steep you cannot walk up them easily. If you
must park on an incline follow these instructions:
1. Bring the vehicle to a stop by applying the
brakes.
2. Put the vehicle in “DIFF LOCK”.
3. Turn the engine off.
4. With the brake pedal applied, set the parking
brake.
5. Block the front and rear wheels with rocks or
other objects.

Encountering obstacles
If you cannot go around an obstacle, such as a fall-
en tree or a ditch, stop the vehicle where it is safe
to do so. Set the parking brake and get out to in-
spect the area thoroughly. Look from both your ap-
proach side and exit side. If you believe you can
continue safely, choose the path that will allow you
to get over the obstacle and at as close to a right
angle as possible to minimize vehicle tipping. Go
only fast enough to maintain your momentum but
still give yourself plenty of time to react to changes
in conditions.
If there is any question about your ability to ma-
neuver safely over the obstacle, you should turn
around if the ground is flat and you have the room
or back up until you find a less difficult path.

Checking the parking brake pads
Each brake pad is provided with a wear indicator
groove, which allows you to check the brake pad
wear without having to disassemble the brake. To
check the brake pad wear, check the wear indica-
tor groove. If a brake pad has worn to the point that
the wear indicator groove almost appears, have a
Yamaha dealer replace the brake pads as a set.
