INTRODUCTION
This Rotary Mower is designed with care and built with quality materials by skilled workers. Proper assembly,
maintenance, and operating practices, as described in this manual, will help the owner/operator get years of
satisfactory service from the machine.
The purpose of this manual is to familiarize, instruct, and train. The Assembly Section instructs the owner/
operator in the correct assembly of the Mower using standard and optional equipment. The Parts Listing
section is designed to familiarize the owner/operator with replaceable parts on the Mower. This section
provides exploded assembly drawings of each mower component illustrating each piece and the
corresponding part number.
Careful use and timely service saves extensive repairs and costly downtime losses. The Operation and
Maintenance Sections of the manual train the owner/operator how to work the Mower correctly and attend to
appropriate maintenance. The Trouble Shooting Guide helps diagnose difficulties with mower and offers
solution to the problems.
Safety is of primary importance to the owner/operator and to the manufacturer. The first section of this manual
includes a list of Safety Messages, that, if followed, will help protect the operator and bystanders from injury or
death. Many of the Safety Messages will be repeated throughout the manual. The owner/operator/dealer
should know these Safety Messages before assembly and be aware of the hazards of operating this mower
during assembly, use, and maintenance. The Safety Alert Symbol combined with a Signal Word, as seen
below, is intended to warn the owner/operator of impending hazards and the degree of possible injury faced
when operating this machine.
Rhino typically offers three types of shielding to protect the operator, passerby, livestock and property from
thrown objects...deflectors, single chain guards and double chain guard. Shielding should be selected based
on the intended use of the mower. Double chainguards or deflectors should be used for highway, right-of-way,
parks or greenbelt mowing or all other mowing where human dwellings, vehicles or livestock could be within
300 feet of the mower. Chainguards are more durable, provide a longer service life and require less
maintenance and replacement than deflectors. Single chainguards may be sufficient for agriculture and other
mower use only where passersby or property are not within 300 feet of the mower during operation.
No shielding is 100% effective in preventing thrown objects. The possibility of injury and property damage from
this hazard can be substantially reduced by selecting proper shielding, maintaining the mower and shielding in
good operational condition, inspecting the area for foreign debris before mowing, operating the mower at a
minimum cutting height of 4”, and keeping persons at a minimum distance of 300 feet from the mower at all
times during operation.
