rhino problem

went ridin today and tried to miss a hole...key word..TRIED went off in it and was chest deep sideways in water. now my rhino wont do over 6 mph and barely does that. has no pull to it...anyone have a clue what i could have done?

Sounds like your belt might be wet. Is it revving and hardly moving?

exactly..

ive only owned a rhino about 3 weeks now..

kinda killed my rhino buzz but it can be fixed... i just hope for cheap

On the bottom of the belt case is a drain plug. If I remember correctly, you turn it a quarter turn and it comes out. The water in the case will drain out. Once all the water drains, you can rev the engine slightly, in Neutral, and this should dry you belt. Oh yea, You can reach the drain plug by removing the passenger set. It's no big deal, just drain the water, and you'll be fine.

BTW, you can also tilt the machine to assist in the draining. If you have the resources.

thanks a ton!

No problem. :afro:

You might also want to check the engine oil, and front/rear differential, to see if it's "milky" looking. I think you will be OK, but it's worth a look.

i think the belt drive and drain are on the drivers side, just remove the seat and look around the bottom of the cover you'll see what looks like a turn valve(it's not) just pull it out and let it drain. if it's really soupy or chunky you may need to pull the belt drive cover and clean it out. not a big deal & good luck :afro:

yep ive had my whole driver seat under and the passenger in the air....pulled the plug drained and it slipped so i called it a day since i was ridin by the house and it dried out and good to go

Well mine did that could'n got over 10 mph Drain case cover and all. Guess what had to Clean the Sheave Dang mud was Caked in there Bad Maybe if your lucky you won't have to do this but just telling my Experince

it was on the driver side that i went under, was so pissed i put it up and got on here. im gonna hit it first thing in the morning

mud is on the end of it...no water

I did all the same stuff and ended up having to remove the CVT cover and pull the CVT clutch. Cleaned all the old caked in grease and re-grease it. Took about 2 hours but runs like new now.

I couldn't remember what side the valve was on :D I've only had to do it once, and that was on a Grizzly.

so i took it apart today, and it was bad.
full of mud, cleaned it out and the belt is still slippin...so i figure a new belt and totally take the clutch apart to clean

time to snorkel it before this happens again
