WARNING
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury or
death. Handle gasoline with care. Never si-
phon gasoline by mouth. If you should swal-
low some gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get some gasoline in your eyes, see
your doctor immediately. If gasoline spills on
your skin, wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.Your Yamaha engine has been designed to use
regular unleaded gasoline with a research octane
number of 91 or higher. If knocking or pinging oc-
curs, use a different brand of gasoline or premium
unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel will give you longer
spark plug life and reduced maintenance cost.

Portable fuel containers
If you carry a portable fuel container in the bed of
the Rhino, be sure to secure it with the cap tight-
ened before driving the vehicle.
Always place a portable fuel container on the
ground before filling it. Before removing the con-
tainer cap, touch the container with the fuel dis-
penser nozzle. Keep fuel dispenser nozzle in
contact with container inlet when filling.
WARNING! 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.

The air filter element should be cleaned every 20–
40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricated
more often if the vehicle is operated in extremely
dusty areas. Each time air filter element mainte-
nance is performed, check the air inlet to the air fil-
ter case for obstructions. Check the air filter
element rubber joint to the throttle body and mani-
fold fittings for an airtight seal. Tighten all fittings
securely to avoid the possibility of unfiltered air en-
tering the engine.NOTICENever operate the engine with the air filter ele-
ment removed. This will allow unfiltered air to
enter, causing rapid engine wear and possible
engine damage. Additionally, operation with-
out the air filter element will affect the fuel in-
jection system with subsequent poor
performance and possible engine overheating.

Valve clearance
The correct valve clearance changes with use, re-
sulting in improper fuel/air supply or engine noise.
To prevent this, the valve clearance must be ad-
justed regularly. This adjustment however, should
be left to a professional Yamaha service techni-
cian.Tightening torque:
