RHINO RSM5 & RSM6 super-heavy-duty ail mower operation instructions
Rhino RSM ail mowers are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. These mowers are designed for cutting grass and
small weeds up to 1”. The mower is equipped with protective deectors to prevent objects being thrown from the mower by the blades,
however, no shielding is 100% effective. All shields, guards, and deectors equipped on the mower must be maintained in good op-
erational condition.
It is the operator’s responsibility to be knowledgeable of all potential operating hazards and to take every reasonable precaution to
ensure oneself, others, animals, and property are not injured or damaged by the mower, tractor, or a thrown object. Do not operate the
mower if passersby, pets, livestock, or property are within 300 feet of the unit unless:
• All THROWN OBJECT SHIELDING including, Front and Rear Deectors, Side Skirts and Skid Shoes in place and in good condi-
tion when mowing.
• Mower section adjusted to be close and parallel to ground without exposing blades.
• MOWING AREA has been inspected and foreign materials and debris have been removed.
• PASSERSBY are inside enclosed vehicle.
This section of the Operator’s Manual is designed to familiarize, instruct, and educate safe and proper mower use to the operator.
