Servis-Rhino RHINO AGM72 - Manual (Page 18)

SAFETY
Disc Mowers rotate at a very high rate of speed (3000 RPM). Vibration due to missing, broken,
or unbalanced components may cause serious imbalance and lead to rapid failure of
components and possible bodily injury from components failure or thrown objects. KEEP
BLADE BOLTS AND DISC ATTACHING BOLTS TIGHTENED TO A SPECIFIED IN
OPERATORS MANUAL TO ASSURE THE INTEGRITY OF THE ASSEMBLIES.
(SDM-3)
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of the Disc Mower.
REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in hay, grass , and heavy weeds which could hide
foreign objects. Remove all foreign debris before mowing an area. The Blades of this mower
can throw objects if shields are not 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 50 yards of mower.

Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any reason,
including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower deck exposes the
Cutting Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard and could cause
serious injury or even death from objects thrown from the Blades.

Connecting or Disconnecting Implement Safety Instructions and
Practices
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the parking
brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement and Tractor
hitches.
(S3PT-15)
Transporting Safety Instructions and Practices
Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn curves or go up
hills only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle. Rear mounted implements move
the center of gravity to the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make certain, by
adding front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to prevent
rearing up, loss of steering control or Tractor tip-over. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces
to prevent loss of steering control which could result in property damage or possible injury. Do
not transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and in the latched transport position.
Dropping implement in transport can cause serious damage to the tractor and/or Implement
and possibly cause the operator or others to be injured or killed.
