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.

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.
