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.


Do not drive after using drugs or alcohol.
Remove the ignition key when the vehicle is not in
use to prevent unauthorized use of the machine.
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.

may roll out of control. Never park on hills that are

must park on an incline follow these instructions:
1. Bring the vehicle to a stop by applying the
brake pedal.
2. Put the vehicle in “LOCK”.
3. Turn the key to “OFF”.
4. With the brake pedal applied, set the parking
brake.
