Both driver and passenger should wear the

following to reduce risk of injury in an acci-

dent:

● Approved motorcycle helmet that fits prop-

erly

● Eye protection (goggles, helmet face

shield, or protective eyewear)

● Over-the-ankle boots, gloves, long-sleeved

shirt or jacket, and long pants

An approved helmet and other personal pro-

tective equipment can help in a variety of

ways, including:

● Reduce the severity of injuries if any part of

you is outside the vehicle cage/frame pro-

tective structure during a rollover.

● Help protect you if outside objects intrude

inside the vehicle during operation.

● Help protect you in the event of vehicle im-

pact with an obstacle.

Wear eye protection when operating or riding

the vehicle to reduce the risk of a serious ac-

cident or injury. Eye protection, such as a face

shield or goggles, may reduce the risk of for-

eign material getting in your eyes and help

prevent loss of vision.

Practice for new Rhino users

You should become familiar with the perfor-

mance characteristics of the vehicle in a large,

flat area that is free of obstacles and other ve-

hicles. Practice controlling the accelerator

pedal, brakes, steering, and drive select lever.

Drive at slow speeds with gradual accelera-

tion and turning. Practice smooth throttle ap-

plication. Practice slowing down before

turning. Practice maintaining a steady throttle

through the turn. Avoid higher speeds until

you are thoroughly familiar with the operation

of your vehicle. Remember, driving aggres-

sively or making abrupt maneuvers even on

flat, open areas can cause side rollovers.
