Doing things with a Rhino that some people
do for thrills in other vehicles (such as side-
ways sliding, skidding, back-wheel sliding, or
donuts) have led to side rollovers. These roll-
overs can result in crushed limbs and other
serious injuries or death to drivers or passen-
gers.
As the owner/operator, it is your responsibility
to protect yourself and your passenger from
accidents, including rollovers. The Rhino has
many features, including a protective struc-
ture and seat belts, to help protect occupants,
but the best way to avoid injuries is to avoid
accidents. There is a risk of injury or death in
any accident, even with these safety features.1RB7A_EE.book Page 2 Tuesday, April 24, 2012 9:07 AM

Passenger requirements
This vehicle is designed for the operator and
one passenger. Allowing passengers to ride
improperly can lead to serious injury or death.
As the operator, you are responsible for your
passenger.●
Your passenger must be able to place both
feet on the floorboard while seated upright
with his/her back against the backrest.
●
Your passenger must be able to reach and
hold the handholds.

carry passengers in the cargo bed.
●
Do not allow someone to ride as a passen-
ger who has been using drugs or alcohol.
●
Do not allow children who need child safety
seats or booster seats in the Rhino. The
seat belt is not designed to restrain auto-
motive child safety seats.Occupant protection system
WARNING
Do not make changes to the occupant pro-
tection system. If you install aftermarket
products or have your vehicle modified,

sponsible for any such changes to the ve-
hicle.1. Seat belt

Protective structure
The vehicle cage/frame provides a protective
structure that helps limit intrusions by branch-
es or other objects and may reduce your risk
of injury in accidents. The protective structure
will not protect occupants in all rollovers or ac-
cidents.
Body parts outside of vehicle can be struck by
passing objects or crushed during vehicle roll-
over. Do not put your hands or feet outside of
the vehicle for any reason. Do not hold onto
the door, cage/frame or hip restraint. Wear
your seat belt and helmet.
If you think or feel that the vehicle may tip or
roll, do not put your hands or feet outside the
vehicle for any reason. You will not be able to
stop the vehicle from tipping over using your
body. Any part of your body (arms, legs, or
head) outside of the vehicle can be crushed
by the vehicle cage/frame.Seat belts
Seat belts should be worn by both driver and
passenger. Driver must be sure that the pas-
senger is belted before driving.
●
Be sure the seat belt is not twisted, is
close-fitting across the hips and chest,
and is latched securely.
●
Do not wear the lap belt across the abdo-
men or stomach.
●
Do not put the shoulder belt behind the
back.
Failure to use seat belts properly may lead to
an increased likelihood and severity of injury.

An unbelted occupant may strike the interior
of the vehicle, the protective structure, or oth-
er objects in an accident or during operation.
You may also fall completely out or be partial-
ly ejected from the vehicle, which may lead to
being crushed between the ground and the
vehicle. Wearing the seat belt helps you re-
main in the vehicle – the doors and handholds
are not a substitute for using a seat belt.
A crash can damage the restraint systems in
your vehicle. A damaged restraint system
may not properly protect the person using it,
resulting in serious injury or death in a crash.
To help make sure your restraint systems are
working properly after a crash, have them in-
spected and any necessary replacements
made as soon as possible.
1. Seat belt (× 2) 2. Latch plate ( × 2)
3. Buckle ( × 2)To wear the seat belt properly, do the follow-
ing:
1. Hold the latch plate as you pull the belt across your lap and chest. Make sure the
belt is not twisted and is not caught on
any portion of the vehicle, your clothing,
or any equipment you are carrying.
