Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank.
WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are extremely
flammable. To avoid fires and explosions and
to reduce the risk of injury when refueling, fol-
low these instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and be
sure that no one is sitting in 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.

Driver requirements

This vehicle is intended for use only by an op-
erator 16 or older with a valid motor vehicle li-
cense. Check country laws for minimum age
requirements.


The driver must be able to place both feet flat
on the floorboard while seated upright with his/
her back against the backrest.

Parents:
Many countries have implemented new motor ve-
hicle licensing requirements for young drivers.
These requirements are in response to the dispro-
portionately high rate of crashes involving youthful
drivers. As with automobiles, to promote safe driv-
ing behaviors, you should supervise younger driv-
ers and consider setting rules and putting limits on
how, when, and where the Rhino can be used.

place of the proper fuse. Using an improp-
er fuse can cause damage to the electrical
system and may lead to a fire.

Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha vehicles receive an inspection
before shipment from the factory, trouble may oc-
cur during operation. Any problem in the fuel, com-
pression, or ignition systems can cause poor
starting and loss of power. The troubleshooting
chart describes a quick, easy procedure for mak-
ing checks. If your vehicle requires any repair, take
it to a Yamaha dealer.
The skilled technicians at a Yamaha dealership
have the tools, experience, and know-how to prop-
erly service your vehicle. Use only genuine
Yamaha parts on your vehicle. Imitation parts may
look like Yamaha parts, but they are often inferior.
Consequently, they have a shorter service life and
can lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING
When checking the fuel system, do not smoke
and make sure there are no open flames or
sparks in the area, including pilot lights from
water heaters or furnaces. Gasoline or gaso-
line vapors can ignite or explode, causing se-
vere injury or property damage.

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.
