OPERATION
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this
Mower. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in heavy brush
and in heavy weeds. The Blades of this Mower can throw objects if
shields are not properly installed and maintained. Serious injury or even
death may occur unless care is taken to insure the safety of the operator,
bystanders, or passersby in the area. Do not operate this machine with
anyone in the immediate area. Stop mowing if anyone is within 300 feet
of mower.

Rotary Cutter
• The Rhino 2160 Rotary Cutting Head is rated
to cut vegetation up to 2” in diameter.
• Objects tend to be thrown out from under the
head in the direction of blade rotation and
toward the raised edge of the shroud. Avoid
cutting with the head tilted at an angle that
objects would be thrown towards the tractor
operator position.
• When clearing brush and small trees, operate
tractor at 1 mph ground speed and position
cutter head at an angle that will cut 2’ to 3’ into
the growth. Make the first pass just above
ground level. This will remove the low
branches and allow operator a better view of
the material to plan fro the next pass. After
repeated passes, each elevated approximately
4’ above the last, the main trunks of the trees
will be exposed and they can be cut as
desired. This avoids clogging the head with cut
and mulched material.
• When operating near the ground or when
mulching, be particularly careful that there are
not bystanders or animals within a 100 yards.
Debris tend to fly out at great speed and can
injure or even cause death. OPS-B- 0061
