and general information. When needed, you can get information or clarification from Rhino Customer Service.

These instructions have been prepared to assist you in the correct procedure for mounting a 2160 on your
tractor.
Throughout these instructions, references are made to right or left directions. Right and left are determined by
sitting on the tractor seat and facing the direction of travel.

NOTE: This mower unit's hydraulic components have been carefully cleaned and packaged at the factory to
prevent contamination from entering the system. However, dust and dirt particles may enter into the sealed
components through transportation, handling, rain or just sitting in a dirty or harsh enviroment. Therefore to
assure that the hydraulic system is properly clean please adhere to the following procedure.
1. Prepare the area where the unit is to be assembled. The area should be on a hard concrete floor that has
been swept clean of all dust and contaminants. Un-package the mower unit carefully so that the seals on
the hydraulic components are not broken or pulled off. Lay out parts to make location easy.
2. Inspect and clean all hydraulic hoses and fittings prior to installing them onto the tractor or mower. If dirt or
material is seen in any of the parts, they should be washed and cleaned thoroughly with an oil-compatible
solution. Do not blow the material further into a hose since this sometimes does not remove the foreign
material and can cause damage to hydraulic components down stream.
