MAINTENANCE
PARTS INFORMATION
Before operating your Rotary Cutter, 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.
Always disengage the PTO before raising the Rotary Cutter for transporting or making
adjustments.
Lubrication
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas. The
illustrations below shows lubrication points (Figure Mnt-R-0333 and Mnt-R-0341). The chart gives the
frequency of lubrication in hours, based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may
require more frequent lubrication.
Use Multi-Purpose Gear Oil P/N 00786250 when required in Gearbox. Use N.L.G.I #2 grease for all locations
designated with grease gun. Be sure to clean the fitting thoroughly before using grease gun. Failure to
maintain proper lubrication will result in damage to U-joints, gearbox, and/or driveshaft. Figure Mnt-R-0333
and Mnt-R-0341
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-
fications. Non-genuine "will fit" parts do not consistently meet these specifications. The use of “will fit” parts
may reduce mower performance, void warranties, and present a safety hazard. Use genuine Rhino mower
parts for economy and safety.
