SAFETY
Never attempt to lubricate, adjust, or remove material from the Implement while it is in
motion or while tractor engine is running. Make sure the tractor engine is off before working
on the Implement.
(SG-20)
Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear and replace when
necessary with authorized service parts. Look for loose fasteners, worn
or broken parts, and leaky or loose fittings. Make sure all pins have cotter pins and
washers. Serious injury may occur from not maintaining this machine in good working
order.
(SG-21)
Perform service, repairs and lubrication according to the maintenance section. Ensure the
unit is properly lubricated as specified in the lubrication schedule and all bolts and nuts are
properly torqued. Failure to properly service, repair and maintain this Implement in good operating condition
could cause component failure and possible serious injury or even death.
(SG-35)
Use caution and wear protective gloves when handling sharp objects such as blades,
knives, and other cutting edges. Be alert to worn component surfaces which have sharp
edges. Sharp surfaces can inflict severe laceration injuries if proper hand protection is not worn.
(SG-37)
Replace bent or broken blade with new blades. NEVER ATTEMPT TO STRAIGHTEN OR WELD
ON BLADES SINCE THIS WILL LIKELY CRACK OR OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE BLADE
WITH SUBSEQUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY FROM THROWN BLADES.
(SGM-10)
DO NOT weld or repair rotating mower components. Welds and other repairs may cause severe
vibration and/or component failure resulting in part being thrown from the mower causing serious
bodily injury. See your Authorized Dealer for proper repairs.

PARTS INFORMATION
Rhino mowers use balanced and matched system components for blade carriers, blades, cuttershafts, knives,
knife hangers, rollers, drivetrain components, and bearings. These parts are made and tested to Rhino
specifications. Non-genuine "will fit" parts do not consistently meet these specifications. The use of “will fit”
parts may reduce mower performance, void warranties, and present a safety hazard. Use genuine Rhino
mower parts for economy and safety.
