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. 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.
5. 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.
6. Plug the four pin connector from the oil pressure harness into the four pin connector in back of gauge.
7. Locate the 6 pin gauge connector in the Rhino harness. This connector will be located close to the gauge mount
location on the under hood side of the dash panel.
8. Plug the 6 pin gauge connector 6 pin connector on the Rhino.
9. Reconnect battery.
10. Turn the key on and verify that the gauge functions as expected.
11. Start engine and check for oil leaks. Shut off engine.
12. If there are no oil leaks, reinstall the floor panels, engine covers and seats as described in the service manual.
13. 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.
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
4. Press and release the left switch to change the digit. Press and release the right switch to move on to the next digit.
5. Repeat step 4 until all digits are set. After tenths digit is set, press and release the right switch.
6. Water temp display will read “”. Check the current unit (if in odo preset) and the odometer / hour meter value to
make sure it is correct. If not, press and release the right switch to go back and make changes.
7. NOTE: Check the displayed odometer value VERY carefully before next step. After selecting yes, you will no
longer be able to change the odometer / hour meter.
8. If the settings are all correct, press and release the left switch. Water temp display will read “”.
9. Press and release the right switch to preset the odometer / hour meter to the new value.
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.
page 5 MAN#650244:A
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.
