  • Page 8: General Safety Instructions And Practices

    SAFETY General Safety Instructions And Practices A careful operator is the best operator. Safety is of primary importance to the manufacturer and should be to the owner/operator. Most accidents can be avoided by being aware of your equipment, your surroundings, and observing certain precautions.

  • Page 9: Operator Safety Instructions And Practices

    SAFETY Operator Safety Instructions and Practices The rotating parts of this machine continue to rotate even after the PTO has been turned off. The operator should remain in his seat for 60 seconds after the brake has been set, the PTO disengaged, the tractor turned off, and all evidence of rotation has ceased .
  • Page 10 SAFETY Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off the Equipment and be injured or killed. Children can cause the Implement to shift or fall crushing themselves or others. (SG-25) NEVER use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating the Tractor and Implement.

  • Page 11: Equipment Operation Safety Instructions And Practices

    SAFETY Do not put hands or feet under mower decks. Blade Contact can result in serious injury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped and the decks are securely blocked up. (SGM-09) Always keep a careful lookout and use extreme care when working around utility and municipal obstructions.
  • Page 12 SAFETY BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always set the parking brake and/or set the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor from rolling.
  • Page 13 If an object is hit, damaged or worn knives are more likely to be thrown out of the machine. Replace them immediately. After transport perform an inspection. If the machine has been damaged contact RHINO. Make sure that there are not any foreign bodies in the machine (debris, tools, etc.) which could affect operation or cause injuries to the operator.
  • Page 14 SAFETY Do not get on the machine or allows riders while the machine is in operation. After hitching make sure that the drive shaft is installed properly. Make sure that the drive shaft guards are in good conditions. Replace worn or damaged drive shaft guards. When the machine is not connected to the power takeoff, the hydraulic hoses and the drive shaft shall be properly secured to their support elements.
  • Page 15 SAFETY Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health. (SG-23) Do not exceed the rated PTO speed for the Implement. Excessive PTO speeds can cause Implement driveline or blade failures resulting in serious injury or death. (SG-26) Operate the Tractor and/or Implement controls only while properly seated in the Tractor seat with the seat belt securely fastened around you.
  • Page 16 SAFETY The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use. However, the blades could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as metal guard rails and concrete structures. Such impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown outward at very high velocities.
  • Page 17 SAFETY Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of equipment and grass fires while operating, servicing, and repairing the Mower and Tractor: -Equip the Tractor with a fire extinguisher in an accesible location. -Do Not operate the Mower on a Tractor with an underframe exhaust. -Do Not smoke or have an open flame near the Mower and Tractor.

  • Page 18: Connecting Or Disconnecting Implement Safety Instructions And Practices

    SAFETY Disc Mowers rotate at a very high rate of speed (3000 RPM). Vibration due to missing, broken, or unbalanced components may cause serious imbalance and lead to rapid failure of components and possible bodily injury from components failure or thrown objects. KEEP BLADE BOLTS AND DISC ATTACHING BOLTS TIGHTENED TO A SPECIFIED IN OPERATORS MANUAL TO ASSURE THE INTEGRITY OF THE ASSEMBLIES.
  • Page 19 SAFETY This Implement may be wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting this equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails, concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and Tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death.

  • Page 20: Maintenance And Service Safety Instructions And Practices

    SAFETY Only tow the Implement behind a properly sized and equipped Tractor which exceeds the weight of the Implement by at least 20%. DO NOT tow the Implement behind a truck or other type of vehicle. Never tow the Implement and another Implement connected in tandem.
  • Page 21 SAFETY Do not modify or alter this Implement. Do not permit anyone to modify or alter this Implement, any of its components or any Implement function. (SG-8) Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious injury or even death.

  • Page 22: Storage And Parking Safety Instructions And Practices

    Rhino mowers use balanced and matched system components for blade carriers, blades, cutter shafts, knives, knife hangers, rollers, drive train 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.
