PARTS INFORMATION
Servis-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 Servis-
Rhino specifications. Non-genuine "will fit" parts do not consistently meet these specifications. The use of
“will fit” parts may reduce mower performance, void mower warranties, and present a safety hazard. Use
genuine Servis-Rhino mower parts for economy and safety.

DANGER! All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including
(but not limited to) - the Discharge Deflectors, Steel
Guards, Gearbox Shields, Belt Shileds, and PTO Shields
should be used and maintained in good working condition.
All safety devices should be inspected carefully at least
daily for missing or broken components. Missing, broken,
or worn items must be replaced at once to reduce the
possibility of injury or death from thrown objects, entangle-
ment, or blade contact.
(SFM-2)
DANGER! Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of
throwing objects for great distances
(100 yards or
more) and causing serious injury or death. Follow safety
messages carefully
-Mower Deck Shielding, and Discharge Deflector are installed
and in good, working condition;
-Mower section is running close to and parallel with the ground
without exposed Blades;
-Passerby are outside the existing thrown-object zone;
-All areas have been thoroughly inspected and all foreign material
such as rocks, cans, glass, and general debris has been removed.
NOTE: Where there are grass and weeds high enough to hide debris that could
be struck by the blades, the area should be: inspected and large debris
removed, mowed at an intermediate height, inspected closely with any remain-
ing debris being removed, and mowed again at desired final height. (This will
also reduce power requiredto mow, reduce wear and tear on the Mower driv-
etrain, spread cut material better, eliminate streaking, and make the final cut
more uniform.)
(SFM-3)
STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 100 YARDS UNLESS:
DANGER!
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.
