OPERATION

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

The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use. However, the blades could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as metal guard rails and concrete structures. Such impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage, serious injury, or even death, never allow the cutting blades to contact such obstacles.

All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including (but not limited to) - the Deflectors, Chain Guards, Steel Guards, Gearbox Shields, PTO integral shields, and Retractable Door Shields should be used and maintained in good working condition. All safety devices should be inspected carefully at least daily for missing or broken components. Missing, broken, or worn items must be replaced at once to reduce the possibility of injury or death from thrown objects, entanglement, or blade contact. (SGM-3)
