Blade Sharpening; Blade Removal - RHINO Turbo 120 Operator's Manual

NOTE: Replace Blades in pairs after no more than 1/2" notch wear.

BLADE SHARPENING

Always sharpen both blades at same time to maintain balance. Follow original sharpening pattern as shown in
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. Always block the cutter up to prevent if from falling when the blades
and/or carrier are being serviced.
Do not heat or weld on hard surface blades as this can alter material strength causing
blades to fail in a hazardous manner that could cause injury.

BLADE REMOVAL

To remove blades for sharpening or replacement,
remove the cover plate on deck of cutter near gear
box. Remove lock nut from blade bolt. NOTE:
Inspect lock nut after removal and replace if threads
are damaged. Always replace nut when replacing
blade bolt. When installing blades be sure and
check blade bolt pivot diameter for wear. Replace
bolt if worn more than 1/4 inch at any point. Install
blade bolts with partially worn side of bolt or away
from center. Tighten lock nut to 600 ft. lbs.
