INSTALLATION:

1. Disconnect the battery to prevent possible damage to the electrical system or gauge during install.

2. Remove the stock gauge or indicator panel (see service manual for removal instructions). The UTV gauge will mount in this mounting location.

3. Remove the seats, console/engine cover, front engine cover, and center floor/front drive shaft cover (refer to service manual). This allows access to sensor locations on the engine and wire routing locations.

4. Temperature sender installation: a. Unplug the wire from the thermal switch. The thermal switch is located toward the top of the engine near the coolant outlet. NOTE: If engine is warm, allow it to cool before continuing. b. Remove the thermal switch from the engine. c. Replace with the supplied temperature sender (SEN-04-9). DO NOT use sealant tape on the threads as this will cause a poor ground, which will give an incorrect sender reading. d. Plug the wire from the thermal switch onto the temperature sender. The gauge will use the thermal switch wiring for the sender. e. Check coolant level and add coolant if needed.

5. Oil sender installation: a. Turn the provided oil sender into the oil pressure sender hose fitting. Sealant tape may be used on this sender as the gauge provides ground through the harness. b. Tighten the sender into the fitting with appropriate wrenches. c. Cut either one of the hoses going to the oil cooler toward the front of the engine to allow the installation of the oil sender T-fixture. It doesn’t matter which hose. Have some rags handy as the hose will leak some oil. d. Place a hose clamp onto each end of the cut oil cooler hose. Two hose clamps are included with the gauge. e. Insert the fitting into the hose and tighten hose clamps onto hose and fitting. f. Remove terminal thumb nuts on oil pressure sender and put ring terminals from oil sender harness onto the terminals. Secure with terminal thumb nuts. The sender terminals don’t have a polarity so just connect one wire to each terminal. g. Route oil sender harness up to the gauge mounting location. Zip tie the harness with provided zip ties so that it will not be pinched or damaged. h. Be sure to check engine oil level and add oil if needed. page 2 MAN#650232:A

6. Locate the stator rotation detection wire (red wire, pin 6 in the 8 pin connector coming out of CDI module located near the battery) and place the included T-tap connector onto it using a pair of pliers. This wire will be used for the tachometer signal.

7. Route the wires from the UTV gauge through the hole in the gauge opening and place gauge into opening. Secure the gauge with the three provided washers and thumb nuts.

8. Route the yellow tach wire to the T-tap connector for the tachometer and plug into the connector.

9. Plug the four pin connector from the oil pressure harness into the four pin connector in back of gauge.

10. Locate the three gauge connectors in the Rhino harness. These connectors will be located close to the gauge mount location on the under hood side of the dash panel.

11. Plug the 6 pin gauge connector marked “to grey connector” into the 6 pin grey connector on the Rhino.

12. Plug the other 6 pin gauge connector into the 6 pin clear connector on the Rhino

13. Plug the 2 pin gauge connector into the 2 pin connector on the Rhino.

14. Reconnect battery.

15. Turn the key on and verify that the gauge functions as expected.

16. Start engine and check for oil and water leaks. Shut off engine.

17. If there are no oil or water leaks, reinstall the floor panels, engine covers and seats as described in the service manual.

18. Installation is now complete. If you experience difficulties check the troubleshooting section in this manual.

ADDITIONAL SETUP NOTES

:

SPEED – AUTO

This setup option allows calibrating to a known mile or kilometer. By default, the speed is calibrated to use the Rhino

Factory speed signal. Calibration should only be needed if the factory calibration is no longer correct due to changes to tires or gearing.

1. Start with vehicle at the beginning of the marked mile or kilometer and turn the key off.

2. Start engine while holding the left switch to enter setup.

3. Select speed option in setup and select appropriate unit (if you will be calculating to a known kilometer choose KPH, else choose MPH).

4. Select the Auto option. The gauge will light all the displays and the speed display will read 

5. Begin driving the mile or kilometer. The message center will read the number of pulses read from the speed signal.

This value cannot be used to determine if a mile or kilometer has been driven.

6. At the end of the mile or kilometer, stop the vehicle and press the right switch to save the new speed calibration. The gauge will return to the speed setup menu.

SPEED – ADJUST

This setup option allows adjustment to speed while driving. By default, the speed is calibrated to use the Rhino Factory speed signal. Calibration should only be needed if the factory calibration is no longer correct due to changes to tires or gearing.

1. Start vehicle while holding the left switch to enter setup.

2. Select speed option in setup and select appropriate unit (if you will be calculating to a known kilometer choose KPH, else choose MPH).

3. Select the ADJUST option. The gauge will light all the displays and the message center will read ADJUST

4. Follow another vehicle traveling at a constant known speed. Hold the left switch to begin increasing the speed reading. To decrease the speed reading, release the switch and press and hold the switch again.

5. The direction of adjustment will change each time the switch is released.

6. When the speed has been adjusted, press the right switch to save the new speed calibration. The gauge will return to the speed setup menu.

SERVICE METERS

This gauge has two service meters. These are a countdown hour meter and a countdown odometer. Both service meters can be disabled, or enabled independently. This allows for setting of two individual service points, one based on engine run time, the other based on odometer. This could also allow for setting a service point on whichever service point comes first, hourly or odometer.

When the setup point is reached, SERVICE DUE will scroll in the message center. Pressing either switch will clear the message until the next time the key is turned on. Once the service has been done, use the left switch to select the service meter that is due (display will show a negative value or zero). Press and hold the right switch to reset the service meter to the value set in setup.

The service meter can be disabled by selecting  in setup. If a new value is set for the service meter, and the meter was previously set to OFF, the service message may immediately be displayed. Reset the service meter to begin a new countdown.

SELECTING FUEL SENDER

By default, no fuel sender is selected and the fuel display will be blank. If a fuel sender is used a fuel sender must be selected. Use the fuel sender option in the Gauges menu to select used fuel sender. The name of the fuel sender is displayed in the message center. Two numbers are also displayed on the right side of the panel. The upper number is the sender resistance in ohms at full tank. The lower number is the sender resistance in ohms at empty tank.

CUSTOM FUEL SENDER SETUP

If a fuel sender other than the Rhino stock fuel sender or the Dakota Digital fuel sender is used, the gauge needs to be calibrated to the new fuel sender. The custom fuel sender option in the gauges menu allows this function.

1. Begin with an empty (or near empty) fuel tank.

2. Select custom fuel sender option in gauge setup menu.

3. Use left switch to change to change to CAL Y and then press the right switch to select.

4. The gauge will light two numbers on the right side. The lower number is the current resistance of the fuel sender in ohms. The upper number is the tank percentage point currently being calibrated.

5. Four points are needed to calibrate the sender, empty, 33%, 66%, 99% (full tank). The gauge expects calibration to start at empty and move to each of these points. page 5 MAN#650232:A

6. Gauge will display EMPTY. Make sure tank is empty or sender is at empty point. Press the right switch to save point in calibration.

7. Gauge will display ADD 33. Add fuel to 1/3 tank or move sender to 1/3 full point. Press the right switch to save point in calibration.

8. Gauge will display ADD 66. Add fuel to 2/3 tank or move sender to 2/3 full point. Press the right switch to save point in calibration.

9. Gauge will display ADD 99. Add fuel to full or move sender to full point. Press the right switch to save point in calibration.

10. Gauge will display DONE. Press the right switch to finish calibration and return to gauges setup menu.

OPTION – DIM OUT

The dim out option allows the dim output to be turned on or off. The dim output is used if you have installed other Dakota

Digital gauges and would like this gauge to also control the dimming of these gauges. If the dim out option is turned on,

12v is sent out on the dim out wire when the gauge is dimming. In this mode, the gauge will be either in dim mode or full brightness mode.

If no other gauges are to be dimmed, this option can be set to off. In this mode the gauge will fade when dimming and gauge dimming will be less noticeable.

ODO/HR PRESET

Within the first 10 miles (16 km) and 1.0 engine hours after first installing the gauge, the option is available for a ONE

TIME preset of the odometer and hour meter to the reading(s) of the previous gauge. If this option is not used within the first 10 miles (16 km) or 1.0 engine hours or an incorrect reading is saved, the gauge will need to be returned to Dakota

Digital for any odometer/hour meter adjustment. The procedure to preset the meters is as follows:

1. If setting odometer select st odo option in setup. If setting hour meter select set hr.

2. For odometer preset, verify that correct unit is displayed above message center. If not, turn key off to leave setup and use unit option under speed to set correct unit. NOTE: Preset MUST be done with correct unit or odometer will not be set correctly!

3. The current odometer / hour meter value is displayed with the first digit blinking
