MAINTENANCE SECTION

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 specications. Non-genuine “will t” parts do not

consistently meet these specications. The use of “will t” parts may reduce mower performance, void warranties, and present a safety

hazard. Use genuine Rhino mower parts for economy and safety. (SPRM-1)

Maintenance Instructions

Before operating the mower, make sure it is properly lubricated and thoroughly inspected. Only a minimum of time and effort is required

to regularly lubricate and maintain this machine to provide long life and trouble free operation.

Check all bolt tightness BEFORE initial operation of the mower. Retorque all hardware after the rst 4 hours of operation. A torque chart

is provided at the end of the Maintenance Section.

NOTE: Before initial start-up, check outer cuttershaft bearing setscrews.

Lubrication

Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas. The accompanying illustration shows

lubrication points. The chart gives the frequency of lubrication in hours, based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual con-

ditions may require more frequent lubrication.

Use Multi-Purpose Gear Oil P/N 00786250 for all locations shown according to instructions. Be sure to clean the tting thoroughly

before using grease gun. Daily lubrication of the wing driveline slip joint is necessary. Failure to maintain proper lubrication will result

in damage to U-joints, gearbox and/or drive shaft.

WARNING

When attaching QD yoke to tractor PTO or gearbox shaft, it is important that the spring activated locking pin or collar

slides freely, and locking balls are seated in groove on splined shaft. A loose yoke could slip off and result in personal

injury or damage to cutter.
