Make sure the front and rear of the mower are properly guarded to prevent any foreign objects from being thrown by the mower. - Page 108 7. When adding hydraulic oil, use only new oil from a sealed barrel. Used oil or oil from an open barrel may contain high levels of contamination. Transfer the oil into the hydraulic tank by using a hydraulic filter pump unit equipped with a properly operating 10 micron filter.
- Page 109 All Servis and Servis-Rhino Boom Mowers mounted on Non-Cab Tractors require without exception a suitable Operator Protective Cage be installed before operating to prevent Operator injury by objects thrown by the blades. The Servis Operator Protective Cage may be ordered with the machine or from the Extra Equipment Section (For your particular tractor, some modification to this Cage may be necessary.)

3.TRACTOR REQUIREMENTS In addition to tractor horsepower and size required to operate the boom unit, the tractor must also be properly equipped to provide operator protection, to alert approaching vehicle drivers of the tractor’s presence, and to ensure tractor stability when mowing with the boom fully extended. Tractor Requirements and Capabilities •... -
Page 116: Tractor Ballast
3.4 Tractor Ballast To ensure tractor stability when operating on flat surfaces the left rear tractor tire MUST exert a minimum down force (weight) of 1500 lbs. on the ground when the tractor is on level ground, its boom is fully extended and the mower head is horizontal and two feet above the ground. -
Page 117: Power Take Off (Pto)
3.6 Power Take Off (PTO) Depending on the unit, the mower is designed to operate at a PTO speed of 540 or 1000 RPM. Most tractors operate at either 540, or a combination of 540 and 1000 RPM PTO speeds. The operating speed of the mower and tractor can be determined by the number of splines on the driveline yoke and PTO output shaft. -
Page 118: Getting On And Off The Tractor
4.GETTING ON AND OFF THE TRACTOR Before getting onto the tractor, the operator must read and completely understand the implement and tractor operator manuals. If any part of either manual is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for a complete explanation. OPS-U- 0007 Do not mount or dismount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. -
Page 119: Starting The Tractor
4.2 Dismounting the Tractor Before dismounting the tractor, idle the tractor engine down, disengage the head and retract the boom arm to the transport position. Park the tractor on a level surface, place the transmission in neutral and set the parking brake. -
Page 120: Connecting Attaching Heads To The Boom
Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health. Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators manual for proper starting instructions. -
Page 121: Tractor Pre-Operation Inspection/Service

Page 132: Driving The Tractor And Implement
8.DRIVING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT Safe tractor transport requires the operator to possess a thorough knowledge of the model being operated and precautions to take while driving with an attached implement. Ensure the tractor has the capacity to handle the weight of the boom and the tractor operating controls are set for safe transport. To ensure safety while driving the tractor with a boom, review the following. -
Page 133: Starting The Tractor
Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the equipment. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this equipment at high speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering and brakes are in good condition and operate properly. -
Page 134: Brake And Differential Lock Setting
8.2 Brake and Differential Lock Setting Make sure the tractor brakes are in good operating condition. Tractor brakes can be set to operate independently allowing single rear wheel braking action or locked together to provide simultaneous rear wheel braking. FOR MOST DRIVING AND OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE BRAKE PEDALS SHOULD BE LOCKED TOGETHER TO PROVIDE THE MOST EFFECTIVE BRAKING ACTION. -
Page 135: Driving The Tractor And Boom
8.3 Driving the Tractor and Boom Inspect the area to be mowed before beginning operation. Identify any drop-offs, slopes, holes, hidden obstructions or similar obstacle that could cause the tractor to loose stability and potential roll-over. Mark and avoid the item or the entire area. Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the tractor. -
Page 136: Operating The Tractor And Implement
9. OPERATING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT THE OPERATOR MUST COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND HOW TO OPERATE THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT AND ALL CONTROLS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE. The operator must read and understand the Safety and Operation Sections of the implement and tractor operator’s manuals. These manuals must be read and explained to any operator who cannot read. - Page 137 The mower valve comes with a push-pull operator switch that, when properly installed, will prevent the tractor from starting if the switch is in the ON position (pulled out). To properly install the push-pull operator, follow the wiring diagram shown. Failure to properly install this switch could result in injury to the operator or bystander. Operate the Tractor and/or Implement controls only while properly seated in the Tractor seat with the seat belt securely fastened around you.
- Page 138 OPERATION The valves and their use will be explained in the following pages of this manual. Read each explanation carefully then practice in a safe, level area, CLEAR of all people, animals, and any obstructions. As always, use extreme caution when using this machine. This valve is controlled by operating the Remote Control Valve Box mounted to the right of the operator at a convenient height.

Page 148: Transporting On Public Roadways
11.1 Transporting on Public Roadways Extreme caution should be used when transporting the tractor and mower on public roadways. The tractor must be equipped with all required safety warning features including a SMV emblem and flashing warning lights to alert drivers of the tractor’s presence. Remember that roadways are primarily designed for automotive drivers and most drivers will not be looking out for you, therefore, you must look out for them. - Page 149 When operating public consideration for other road users. Pull to the side of the road occasionally to allow all following traffic to pass. Do not exceed the legal speed limit set in your country for agricultural tractors. Always stay alert when transporting the tractor and implement on public roads.

Page 163: Lubrication Information
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. - Page 164 MAINTENANCE 2160 06/11 Maintenance Section 5-4 ©2011 Alamo Group Inc.
-
Page 165: Hydraulic Fluid
HYDRAULIC FLUID Maintaining the proper hydraulic oil level and oil cleanliness is very important for continued trouble-free operation of the mower. The fluid level should be checked daily before the mower is put into service. A visual inspection of the hydraulic connections, hose guards and shielding should occur daily as well. The hydraulic fluid can loose its ability to lubricate in a number of different ways, most commonly contamination and overheating. -
Page 166: Proper Oil Level
MAINTENANCE Proper Oil Level Maintain the oil level within the sight gauge located on the reservoir. When oil is cold, the level should be three-quarters up the sight gauge. Never fill the tank above that sight gauge level. A space is maintained above the sight gauge to allow for the expansion of the oil. -

Page 170: Blade Servicing
BLADE SERVICING Inspect blades before each use to determine that they are properly installed and in good condition. Replace any blade that is bent, excessively nicked, worn, or has any other damage. Small nicks can be ground out when sharpening. When sharpening blades, grind each blade the same amount to maintain balance. -
Page 171: Blade Sharpening
BLADE SHARPENING Always sharpen both blades at same time to maintain balance. Follow original sharpening pattern as shown in FIGURE Mnt-R-0008. Always sharpen blades by grinding. DO NOT heat and pound out edge. Do not sharpen blade to a razor edge, but leave a 1/16" blunt edge. Do not sharpen back side of blade. Avoid personal injury. -
