OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Rhino FN14/FN20 NITRO rotary mowers are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. These
mowers are designed to cut grass, weeds, small brush and other vegetative material up to 4-1/2” diameter in
areas such as pastures and along highway right-of-ways. The mower is equipped with protective deflectors
and/or chain guards to prevent objects being thrown from the mower by the blades, however, no shielding is
100% effective. All shields, guards, deflectors, and chains equipped on the unit must be maintained on the
mower in good operational 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.
