Turning - Yamaha RHINO FUEL INJECTION 700 FI 2008 Owner's Manual

Turning

Use care in turns – turning the steering wheel
too far or too fast can result in loss of control
or a rollover. Slow down before entering turns.
When making tight turns from a standstill or at
slow speeds, avoid sudden or hard accelera-
tion. Driving aggressively or making abrupt
maneuvers even on flat, open areas can
cause side rollovers. Avoid sideways sliding,
skidding, or fishtailing, and never do donuts. If
you feel the Rhino begin to slide sideways or
fishtail during a turn, steer into the direction of
the slide, if possible, and gradually let off the
accelerator pedal to regain directional control
and avoid rollover. For example, if you feel the
back of the vehicle start to slide to your right,
steer to the right.
If you think or feel that the vehicle may tip or
roll, keep your body completely inside the pro-
tective structure of the vehicle:
Brace yourself by pressing your feet firmly
G
on the floorboards and keep a firm grip on
the steering wheel or handholds.
Do not put your hands or feet outside of the
G
vehicle for any reason. Do not try to stop a
tipover using your arm or leg.
