On-Command differential gear lock switch
“4WD”/“LOCK”
To lock the differential gear in four-wheel drive,
stop the vehicle, make sure the On-Command
four-wheel-drive switch is set to “4WD”, move the
differential gear lock lever to positiona, and then
set the switch to “LOCK”. When the differential
gear is locked, the differential gear lock indicator
light “DIFF. LOCK” will come on along with the dif-
ferential gear lock indicator “” in the multi-func-
tion display. To unlock the differential gear, stop
the vehicle and set the switch to “4WD”.

When the switch is set to “LOCK” or “4WD”, the
differential gear lock indicator and indicator
light will flash until the differential gear is com-
pletely locked or unlocked.


When the indicator and indicator light are flash-
ing, turning the steering wheel back and forth
will help the differential gear lock to engage or
disengage.


Driving before the differential gear is properly
engaged or disengaged (e.g., when the indica-
tor and indicator light are flashing) will cause
the engine speed to be limited until the differen-
tial gear is completely engaged or disengaged.

Become familiar with the way the vehicle feels in
low and high ranges, first in two-wheel drive
“2WD” and then in four-wheel drive “4WD” and
four-wheel drive with the differential locked
“LOCK”. Steering may take more effort in four-
wheel drive with the differential locked “LOCK”.
Also practice driving in reverse.
Take the time to learn basic operation of the vehi-
cle before attempting more difficult maneuvers.
Getting ready to ride
Perform the Pre-Operation Checks on pages 5-1–
5-33. Follow the instructions starting on pages
6-7–6-11 to start the engine.

Braking
When slowing down or stopping, take your foot off
the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal
smoothly. Improper use of the brakes can cause
the tires to lose traction, reducing control of the ve-
hicle and increasing the possibility of an accident.
Braking ability is affected by type of terrain. In most
cases, gradual application of the brakes is more
effective than abrupt braking, particularly on loose
surfaces, such as gravel. Always allow for greater
braking distance on rough, loose, or slippery sur-
faces.
Engine braking
Engine compression braking is designed to assist
you when operating your Rhino off-road. With this
feature, the engine helps slow the vehicle down af-
ter you take your foot off the accelerator. Engine
braking is more noticeable in four-wheel drive. Ap-
plication of vehicle brakes provides additional
stopping power.

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 skidding or sliding.
To avoid loss of control, slow down and put the
Rhino in four-wheel drive before driving on a slip-
pery 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 di-
rection of the slide if possible, to regain directional
control. For example, if you feel the back of the ve-
hicle start to slide to your right, steer to the right.

5. Remove the blown fuse, and then install a
new fuse of the specified amperage.
WARNING! Always use a fuse of the spec-
ified amperage. Never use any material in
place of the proper fuse. Using an improp-
er fuse can cause damage to the electrical
system and may lead to a fire.

The figures quoted are emission levels and are not
necessarily safe working levels. Whilst there is a
correlation between the emission and exposure
levels, this cannot be used reliably to determine
whether or not further precautions are required.
Factors that influence the actual level of exposure
of work-force include the characteristics of the
work room, the other sources of noise, etc. i.e. the
number of machines and other adjacent process-
es, and the length of time for which an operator is
exposed to the noise. Also the permissible expo-
sure level can vary from country. This information,
however, will enable the user of the machine to
make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.
