A few days ago the engine temp light on my Rhino 700 turned on, so I'm guessing it's overheating, but now I need to figure out what to check and how. Any help would be appreciated
 
Have you checked coolant levels, radiator for clogs, or if the fan's kicking on properly when it heats up? Those are common overheating culprits.
 
Check whether the radiator fan is kicking on, turn the key to ON (don't start it) and let it sit for a few minutes. If it doesnt spin up once the engine gets warm, that's a red flag. Also take a look at the coolant level in both the radiator and the overflow tank, low coolant can be an arse
 
Make sure the radiator isn't clogged with mud or debris and that the fan is actually trying to start on, you can jumper the fan to test it directly
