Prepare your vehicle
Perform the pre-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe operat-
ing condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an ac-
cident or equipment damage. See pages 5-1–5-2 for a list of pre-operation checks.
Prepare your load or trailer
Carrying loads, towing a trailer, or pulling objects can affect handling, stability, and cause the risk
of overturns or other accidents. Read Chapter 6 before loading, towing, or pulling objects.
Do not overload the vehicle or trailer. Refer to label in cargo bed for cargo bed load limit. Re- fer to label next to hitch for tongue weight and trailer load limits.
Keep weight in the cargo bed centered side to side, and as low and as far forward as pos-
sible.
Secure cargo so that it will not shift – a loose load could change handling unexpectedly or be thrown forward and strike occupants.1RB7A_EE.book Page 3 Tuesday, April 24, 2012 9:07 AM

Take extra precautions when driving with a
load or trailer. Follow these instructions and
always use common sense and good judg-
ment when carrying cargo or towing a trailer.
Prepare your load or trailer
WARNING
Improper loading or towing can increase
the risk of loss of control, an overturn, or
other accident:●
Do not exceed the Maximum Loading
Limits for the vehicle (see page 6-10
and vehicle labeling).
●
Keep weight in the cargo bed centered
side to side, and as low and as far for-
ward as possible. Top-heavy loads in-
crease the risk of overturn. Be sure
cargo is secured – a loose load could
change handling unexpectedly or
strike occupants.
●
Do not exceed the maximum tongue
weight.
●
Make sure the load does not interfere
with your control or ability to see
where you are going.
●
Tie down cargo in the trailer securely.
Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot
move around. A shifting load can
cause an accident.
Use the hooks equipped on the cargo bed to
tie down loads.
Choose a trailer hitch drawbar designed for
use with a 5 cm (2 in) receiver. (See page
4-36 for more information.)

You can measure tongue weight with a bath-
room scale. Put the tongue of the loaded trail-
er on the scale with the tongue at hitch height.
Adjust the load in the trailer, if necessary, to
reduce the weight on hitch. If you are carrying
cargo and towing a trailer, include the tongue
weight in the maximum vehicle load limit.Operating when loaded with cargo or tow-
ing a trailer
Drive more slowly than you would without a
load. The more weight you carry, the slower
you should go. Although conditions vary, it is
good practice to keep the vehicle in low gear
whenever you are carrying heavier loads or
when towing a trailer.
WARNING
Carrying loads or towing a trailer can in-
crease the risk of loss of control, an over-
turn, or other accident. To reduce the risk
of an accident:●
Reduce speed, operate in low gear
only, and allow more room to stop. A
heavier vehicle takes longer to stop.
●
Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose
terrain carefully. Use extreme caution
when towing or carrying a load on in-
clines.
●
Turn gradually and go slowly.

5. Block the front and rear wheels with
rocks or other objects.
Loading
The total weight of operator, passenger, ac-
cessories, cargo, trailer tongue weight, and
the vehicle itself must not exceed 907 kg
(2000 lb). Vehicle loading can affect handling.
See “Loading” on pages 6-9–6-10. Operation on different surfaces and
terrains
Go slowly and proceed with caution when op-
erating on an unfamiliar surface or terrain.
This vehicle may handle differently in certain
types of terrains or on certain surfaces. You
may come upon hidden rocks, bumps, or
holes without enough time to react. To avoid
loss of control or rollover, always be alert to
changing surfaces or terrain when operating
the vehicle.
The Rhino has higher ground clearance and
other features to handle rugged terrain, and
as a result, can overturn in situations where
some vehicles may not. Abrupt maneuvers or
aggressive driving can cause loss of control,
including rollovers – even on flat, open areas.
These rollovers can result in crushed limbs
and other serious injuries or death to drivers
or passengers.
