Pretty much all the fasteners on the Rhino are flange bolts and nylock nuts so no loctite needed. Never had a fastener come loose on mine in 700 hours.

Received.
Thanks to everyone for the warm welcomes and advice. Received my Rhino Friday afternoon 1/10/20. First thing I did before assembly was to sand, prime and paint the entire body. Wasn’t a fan of the blue. Went with a dark charcoal metallic enamel and it turned out great! Changed the oil and used Royal Purple break in oil. New NGK Plug, 2” rear spacers, and aligned the front wheels. One odd thing I noticed was that when I changed the oil, there was shavings on the drain plug and the oil was a little dark. Assuming they test run the engines before mounting??? Getting ready to add a front and rear light bar, Trail Tech Vapor and a couple odds and ends. Anyway, I will post pictures once I figure out a hosting site for the pics. Thanks again to everyone, looking forward to contributing in the near future. Praying for a BIG snow storm in the coming weeks 😊

Shavings are normal from what I understand on new small engines.... its why you do the first handful of oil changes after only a little bit of riding.
Yes I would imagine they do a test to make sure it runs before shipping... avoids a lot of BS on returns. If Mudflap says Loctite not needed then you should be good.. I do vaguely remember some of the bolts were nylocks ... some weren't think the fender screws are what I put it on mostly. Yes please do post some pics.. Charcoal sounds sharp with black trim... Imgur.com works pretty good for images. |
