KIT NUMBER 8051510
YAMAHA RHINO Electric Steering Installation Manual
Thank you for purchasing our ELECTRA-STEER™ 12v electric assist
power steering system. Please carefully read this instruction sheet
entirely before you begin to install the system.
Remember before beginning installation, to insure that you are in a
well lit, organized work area. Engage the parking brake, disconnect
the battery until power is needed and chock or block the rear wheels
to insure the vehicle is stable.
Full refund will NOT be granted to any kits that are
damaged, scratched, or altered in any fashion.

INSTALLATION TIPS:
Due to minor variations in vehicle frames, we recommend that you
leave all the U-Joint pinch bolts loose until the motor is mounted.
Then rock the steering wheel back and forth to allow the U-Joints to
align themselves. Complete the installation by tightening these bolts.

Installation Instructions for YAMAHA RHINO
1. Before starting your installation, center your steering wheel and make sure
your wheels are in line and straight.
2. Remove the pinch bolt that retains the u-joint to the steering shaft and the
rack and pinion. Slide the shaft down towards the pinion and remove shaft
from vehicle.
3. You will need to trim 1/8” of your stock steering shaft. Take a cut off wheel
or similar tool and trim off the very tip of the shaft. This is to ensure there
is no interference with the u-joint to shaft.

4. Remove the control module bolts from the frame and remove the module.
Note: The upper joint and lower shaft have been shipped attached and
are in phase. The shaft, u-joint and motor are marked where the proper
location is. You do not need to remove the upper joint, but you will need
to remove the lower shaft for installation. Pay attention to the alignment
marks and make sure you install them back into the same place.

NOTE: PINK COLOR BANDS FACE VEHICLE SPLINES AND WHITE
FACE MOTOR SPLINES:
5. Your electric motor & module has come to you assembled. Install the
bracket, module & motor assembly over the stock bolt holes in the frame
where the module was located. The upper joint needs to spline onto the
stock steering shaft as you align mount bracket. Once you have the joint in
place install the supplied pinch bolt through the joint and finger tighten.

6. Install the stock bolts from the module to hold the bracket in place. You
may have to leave out the bolt closest to the air box to allow pivot room to
spline lower shaft to the motor. After shaft is installed center and tighten
6mm bracket bolts.
7. Once bracket and motor is mounted, install the lower shaft and install the
pinch bolts in the u-joints and finger tighten. Verify that the assembly is not
binding. If it seems tight or binds you may need to loosen the 4 bolts on
the column tube and adjust the angle slightly. This is usually not
necessary.

8. Once you have confirmed that all is well you will need to drill the 2 extra
holes in the frame using the two 3/8” holes in the mtg. bracket as a pilot.
9. When the holes are drilled you can install the supplied bolts through the
holes of the backer plate and install through the holes drilled into the
frame. Install the washers and nuts and torque to 20 ft. lbs

10.Remove the stock 6mm bolts installed in the mounting bracket. Install the
module back into its stock location and install the supplied 6mm longer
bolts through the module and bracket into frame & tighten to 15 ft. lbs.
11.Locate a spot on your dash and drill a ½ “ hole where you would like your
LED to be. Be sure to leave enough wire to get to the LED light.

12.Tighten the u-joint bolts to 20 ft.lbs.
13. Your kit has been shipped with a rubber splash shield. This shield sits
over the motor & module assembly. Fit the shield in place as shown and
drill ¼ “ holes in the perforated areas of the shield through the plastic on
firewall & framework. Install the supplied trim tabs to hold shield in place.
