INTRODUCTION SECTION Introduction Section 2-1 © 2011 Alamo Group Inc.
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION We are pleased to have you as a Rhino customer. Your Rotary Cutter has been carefully designed with care and built with quality materials by skilled workers to give maximum service with minimum down time. This manual is provided to give you the necessary operating and maintenance instructions for keeping your rotary cutter in top operating condition. Careful use and timely service saves extensive repairs and costly downtime losses. Please read this manual thoroughly.
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The Rhino 260/272/284 Rotary Mower is designed for medium duty applications such as weed, grass, corn stalks, and light brush to 2" diameter. These mowers are single spindle with two free-swinging blades. Free swinging blades reduce the shock of impact when a stationary object is hit. Additional protection is provided by a slip clutch on the gearbox input shaft. A round blade holder allows the mower to “ride over” stumps and similar immovable objects.
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION KEY OPERATION POINTS • Cutting performance and distribution are best when cutter is level from side to side and front to rear. • In extra heavy material, rear chains will allow better discharge and better distribution than solid rear bands. • Never operate the Mower below full PTO speed of 540 or 1000 rpm. • Corn should be cut at 5 to 6 mph. If full PTO rpm cannot be maintained, use one lower gear.
INTRODUCTION RHINO LIMITED WARRANTY (a)Repair or replace the defective goods or part(s) or (b)Reimburse Purchaser for the cost of the part(s) and reasonable labor charges (as determined by Manufacturer) if Purchaser paid for the repair and/or replacement prior to the final determination of applicability of the warranty by Manufacturer. The choice of remedy shall belong to Manufacturer. 2.05.

OPERATION SECTION Operation Section 4-1 © 2011 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION RHINO 260/272/284 ROTARY MOWER OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS OPERATION Rhino rotary mowers are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. These mowers are designed to cut grass, weeds, small brush and other vegetative material up to 2-1/2” diameter in areas such as pastures, industrial areas, and roadsides. The mower is equipped with protective deflectors and/or chain guards to prevent objects being thrown from the mower by the blades, however, no shielding is 100% effective.
OPERATION 1. OPERATOR REQUIREMENTS Safe operation of the unit is the responsibility of a qualified operator. A qualified operator has read and understands the implement and tractor Operator’s Manuals and is experienced in implement and tractor operation and all associated safety practices. In addition to the safety messages contained in this manual, safety signs are affixed to the implement and tractor.
OPERATION 2. TRACTOR REQUIREMENTS The tractor used to operate the mower must have the power capacity to lift, pull, and operate the Power Take Off (PTO) at the mower’s rated speed while traveling at a ground speed between 2 and 5 MPH. Operating the mower with a tractor that does not meet the following requirements may cause tractor or mower damage and be a potential danger to the operator and passersby.
OPERATION 2.2 Tractor Safety Devices If transporting or operating the tractor and implement near a public roadway, the tractor must be equipped with proper warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of the unit. Lights and a SMV emblem must be equipped directly on implements if the visibility of the tractor warning signals are obscured. Maintain all manufacturer equipped safety shields and guards.
OPERATION 2.4 Front End Weight A minimum of 20% total tractor weight must be maintained on the tractor front end at all times. Front end weight is critical to maintain steering control and to prevent the tractor from rearing up while driving. If the front end is too light, add weight until a minimum of 20% total weight is reached on the front tires. Front weights and weight carriers can be purchased through an authorized tractor dealership. OPS-U- 0005 OPERATION 2.
OPERATION DO NOT use a PTO adapter to attach a non-matching Implement driveline to a Tractor PTO. Use of an adapter can double the operating speed of the Implement resulting in excessive vibration, thrown objects, and blade and implement failure. Adapter use will also change the working length of the driveline exposing unshielded driveline areas. Serious bodily injury and/or equipment failure can result from using a PTO adapter.
OPERATION Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death. (SG-10) OPERATION 3.2 Dismounting the Tractor Before dismounting, park the tractor and implement on a reasonably level surface, apply the parking brake, idle the engine down, disengage the PTO, and lower the implement to the ground. Shut down the tractor engine according to the operator’s manual, remove the key, and wait for all motion to completely stop.
OPERATION Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators manual for proper starting instructions. (SG-13) Use extreme caution when connecting the mower to the tractor. The mower should be securely resting at ground level or setting on blocks. Keep hands and feet from under the mower deck and clear of pinch points between the tractor hitch arms and mower pins.
OPERATION OPERATION 4. Turn off the tractor engine and dismount. 5. One lift arm at a time, align arm end hole between the set of A-frame lift lugs. Insert hitch pin through the lug and arm holes and insert retaining pin into hitch pin. 6. Walk around to opposite side and repeat procedure for remaining lift arm and hitch pin. 7. Extend or retract 3-point top link to align its end hole with the holes of the mower’s top link. Insert the top link hitch pin and insert retaining pin into hitch pin. 8.
OPERATION 5.3 Connecting Mower - Lift Type (Quick Hitch) Crushing Hazard between Quick-Hitch and Implement. Do not allow anyone to stand between the Quick-Hitch and implement during hook-up operations. Never operate the hydraulic 3-point lift controls while someone is directly behind the tractor. IMPORTANT: The Quick Hitch will more mower further from tractor which will require checking the following: 1. Driveline length 2.
OPERATION 6. SETTING THE MOWER OPERATION Properly setting the cutting height is essential for efficient and safe operation. A properly set mower will make a more uniform cut, distribute clippings more evenly, require minimal tractor work, and follow the contour of uneven terrain. NOTE: Avoid very low cutting heights, striking the ground with the blades gives the most damaging shock loads and will cause damage to the mower and drive.
OPERATION 8. Extend the tractor’s top 3-point link so that when lifting the mower, the front of the deck will raise 2 to 2½” before the tail wheel leaves the ground. This will allow the mower to follow the contour of uneven terrain. OPERATION NOTE: Install optional check chains when there is a problem with the hydraulic 3-Point lift maintaining a set height or when a constant pre-adjusted cut height is required. See Check Chains in the Assembly Section for this accessory.
OPERATION OPERATION 6.2 Connecting the Mower-Pull Type 1. Make sure the tractor is equipped with the correct PTO shaft and the drawbar is extended 14” from the end of the PTO shaft to the hitch point. 2. Block the mower wheels in place and use the attached parking jack to raise or lower the tongue clevis to the height of the tractor drawbar. The parking jack can be rotated 15 degrees in each direction to obtain a near vertical position.
OPERATION 6.3 Setting Mowing Height-Pull Type 4. If the mower is attached to a 3-point hitch drawbar, adjust any tractor equipped lower link check chains, guide blocks, or sway blocks to prevent the hitch and mower from swaying from side to side. Never raise the 3-point lift with the mower attached as catastrophic driveline damage will occur. 260/272/284 01/11 © 2011 Alamo Group Inc. Operation Section 4-15 OPERATION 1. Park the tractor and mower on level ground. 2.
OPERATION 6.4 Setting Deck Pitch OPERATION Lower Horse Power - Better Fuel Efficiency To increase fuel efficiency and lower horsepower requirements for mower operation, the mower should be operated with the deck approximately 3/ 4" LOWER IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR. Operating the mower at this pitch will allow the mower to cut the grass only once and requires less work from the tractor.
OPERATION When attaching the Implement input driveline to the Tractor PTO, it is important that the connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated securely in the groove on the Tractor PTO shaft. Push and pull the driveline back and forth several times to ensure it is securely attached. A driveline not attached correctly to the Tractor PTO shaft could come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the Implement. (S3PT-17) 7.
OPERATION OPERATION Shorten the driveline profiles as follows: • Remove the driveline from the tractor. • Raise and lower the mower to find the position with the shortest distance between the tractor PTO shaft and cutter gearbox. Shut down the tractor and securely block the mower in this position. • Pull driveline apart and reattach yoke to PTO shaft. • Hold driveline sections parallel to one another and measure back 1” from yoke of each shaft and place mark on opposite section.
OPERATION Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear and replace when necessary with authorized service parts. Look for loose fasteners, worn or broken parts, and leaky or loose fittings. Make sure all pins have cotter pins and washers. Serious injury may occur from not maintaining this machine in good working order. (SG-21) OPERATION 260/272/284 01/11 © 2011 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION 8.1 Tractor Pre-Operation Inspection/Service OPERATION Refer to the tractor operator’s manual to ensure a complete pre-operation inspection and scheduled service is performed according to the manufacturers recommendations.
OPERATION Perform scheduled lubrication as detailed in the maintenance section. • Ensure all decals are in place and legible. • Ensure the driveline is securely attached to tractor. Make sure the driveline yoke locking collar is securely seated in the grooves of the PTO shaft by pushing and pulling the yoke several times. • Lift Type-Inspect that the 3-point hitch pins are the proper size, correctly installed, and secured to the tractor lift arms with retaining pins inserted.
OPERATION OPERATION • Lift Type-Ensure the tailwheel beam position support bolts are properly installed and tightened. • Inspect all bolts and screws and tighten to the recommended torque. OPS-R-0039_H • Ensure the tractor PTO master shield and the mower slip clutch shield are in place, lowered, and in good condition. • Ensure the driveline integral shield is in good condition and rotates freely. • Ensure the driveline slip clutch (if equipped) is properly adjusted.
OPERATION • Inspect blades and blade bolts for looseness and excessive wear. Make sure the mower is securely blocked up before crawling beneath. Replace damaged, worn and missing blades as complete sets to maintain rotary balance during operation. • Ensure blade pan nut is tightened with the cotter pin inserted and spread. OPS-R-0041 Inspect blade pan and blade assembly for the following: OPS-U-0031 260/272/284 01/11 © 2011 Alamo Group Inc. Operation Section 4-23 OPERATION 8.
OPERATION OPERATION Operating the mower with loose blade hardware will damage the blade holder or blades and can result in blade breakage or blade fastener failure. Broken blades or bolts can be thrown out from under the mower for distances up to 300 feet. When the blades are replaced, the fastening hardware must be replaced. Check and retighten the blade hardware after the first eight hours of operation. In severe cutting conditions, recheck the blade carrier and blade bolt torque every 50 hours.
OPERATION Inspect the Blades daily for abnormal wear. REPLACE BOTH BLADES on that carrier IMMEDIATELY if either blade has: • Become bent or deformed from it’s original shape or • Any cracks are visible, or • Deep gouges in the blade’s surface are present, or • Gouges or chipped areas in the cutting edge are larger than 1/2”(12.7mm), or • The material on the leading edge has been worn away by more than 1/2(12.7mm)” 260/272/284 01/11 © 2011 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION 8.4 Blade Bolt Inspection OPERATION Inspect Blade Bolt Head daily for wear as followed: Inspect the Blade Bolt Heads daily for abnormal wear. REPLACE BOTH BLADE BOLTS on the Blades IMMEDIATELY if either blade bolts has: • Visible cracks or • If the recessed area on blade bolt is worn off or • If Blade Bolt has gouges or chipped areas.

Make sure the mower is resting on the ground or securely blocked up and all hydraulic pressure has been relieved. Condition at Start of Shift Item Specific Comments if not O.K.
OPERATION 9. DRIVING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT Safe tractor transport requires the operator possess a thorough knowledge of the model being operated and precautions to take while driving with an attached implement. Ensure the tractor has the capacity to handle the weight of the implement and the tractor operating controls are set for safe transport. To ensure safety while driving the tractor with an attached implement, review the following.
OPERATION 9.1 Starting the Tractor OPERATION The procedure to start the tractor is model specific. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for starting procedures for your particular tractor. Consult an authorized dealer if the starting procedure is unclear. Ensure the 3-point control lever is in the lowered position and the PTO is disengaged before starting the tractor. OPS-U-0033 9.2 Brake and Differential Lock Setting Make sure the tractor brakes are in good operating condition.
OPERATION 9.3 Raising the Mower 9.4 Driving the Tractor and Mower Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the tractor and mower. Moving slowly at first will also prevent the tractor from rearing up and loss of steering control. The tractor should never be operated at speeds that cannot be safely handled or which will prevent the operator from stopping quickly during an emergency.
OPERATION OPERATION 9.5 Crossing Ditches and Steep Inclines When crossing ditches with steep banks or going up sharp inclines, it is possible that the main driveline inner profile will penetrate into the outer housing to its maximum depth until the assembly becomes solid (driveline is at its extreme shortest length).
OPERATION Inclines and ditches should be approached along a line which is at an angle as shown. This type of path will reduce the possibility of over-collapse of the driveline and resulting damage. If the gradient is so steep that such an approach increases the possibility of a tractor roll-over, select an alternate crossing path. 10. OPERATING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT THE OPERATOR MUST COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND HOW TO OPERATE THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT AND ALL CONTROLS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE.
OPERATION Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the operating parts of the mower head. These items could then swing outside the housing at greater velocities than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or even death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing. Remove any like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to contact such items. (SGM-06) OPERATION 10.
OPERATION Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing objects for great distances (300 feet or more) and causing serious injury or death. Follow safety messages carefully.
OPERATION 10.4 PTO RPM and Ground Speed OPERATION Ground speed for mowing will depend upon the height, type, and density of vegetation to be cut. Recommended speed for efficient mower performance is between 2 and 5 mph(3-8 kph). Operate the mower at its full rated PTO speed to maintain blade speed for a clean cut. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual or the tractor instrument panel for the engine speed and gear to provide the required PTO and desired ground speed.
OPERATION Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least 300 feet (90 m) in front and to the sides of the tractor and mower. Make sure that you can clearly see and identify passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, debris and foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see these type of items discontinue mowing.
OPERATION OPERATION 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. (SRM-07) Large, dense, or wet vegetation may need to be mowed in two or more passes to achieve a uniform cut. In such conditions, raise the cutting height to 12” or more on the first pass.
OPERATION Do not mow, or drive the tractor into material that is burning, or areas that recently burnt and may contain hot spots. Burning material, sparks, and coals could be thrown from the mower to areas of vegetation that might ignite. Tire damage can occur when driving over hot material. Oil and grease on the tractor and mower could ignite resulting in equipment destruction. Carry a fire extinguisher on the tractor at all times to extinguish possible fires encountered.
OPERATION 10.6 Shutting Down the Implement OPERATION To shut down attached mower head, first bring the tractor to a complete stop. Decrease engine RPM to idle then disengage cutterhead.

MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE GEARBOX (Model 260 & 284) The gearbox should be full (3 quarts) and not require additional lubricant unless the box is cracked or a seal is leaking. It is recommended that the oil level dipstick (Figure MntP-R-0056) be removed to check oil level after every 8 hours of operation. If required, oil should be added until it comes to proper level. Recommended lubricant is Multi-Purpose Gear Oil P/N 00786250. NOTE: Make sure mower is level when checking oil in the gearbox.
MAINTENANCE DRIVELINE LUBRICATION Grease Fittings are located on the Cross Assembly of each U-Joint and on the telescoping tubes. Grease the U-Joint after each 8 hours of use. Figure Mnt-R-0283. Do not force grease through the Needle Cup Assemblies. Grease the telescoping tubes after every 8 hours use. Some PTO-to-Hitch connections may necessitate cutting a hole in the shields to be able to align the Grease Fitting holes for lubrication. Lubricate the shield bearings every 40 hours.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE To assemble the main inner driveline shield, grease the yoke groove and inner profile tube. Attach the bearing ring in groove with recesses facing profile tube. FIGURE Mnt-0027. Slide on the half shield. Turn the cone until it engages correctly. Install locking screws. FIGURE Mnt-0028.
MAINTENANCE MAIN CV DRIVELINE SAFETY SHIELD 1. To remove the outer CV cone, remove the locking screws from shield cone. Remove cone over yoke. Remove bearing ring and remove the locking screws from inner shield cone. Turn inner cone to assembly position and remove half shield. Remove bearing ring. MNT-R-0038. MAINTENANCE 2. To assemble outer CV driveline, grease yoke groove and inner profile tube. Attach bearing ring on groove with recesses facing profile tube. Slide on half shield with cone.
MAINTENANCE BLADE SERVICING Inspect blades before each use to determine that they are properly installed and in good condition. Replace any blade that is bent, excessively nicked, worn, or has any other damage. Small nicks can be ground out when sharpening. MAINTENANCE Use only original equipment blades on this cutter. They are made of special heat-treated alloy steel. Substitute blades may not meet specifications and may fail in a hazardous manner that could cause injury.
MAINTENANCE BLADE SHARPENING Avoid personal injury. Always block the cutter up to prevent if from falling when the blades and/ or carrier are being serviced. BLADE CARRIER REMOVAL Remove cotter pin and loosen slotted nut on gearbox shaft. Loosen but do not remove the nut until the blade carrier is loosened. Use a suitable 2 jaw gear puller to pull carrier off tapered gearbox shaft. If gear puller is not available use long bar inserted through blade bolt access hole with end against rotor bar.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE BLADE CARRIER INSPECTION Blade bolt fit into carrier bushings should be checked every time blades are changed. The blade bolt should fit into carrier bushings as a snug slip fit. If the blade bolt fit appears to be loose or sloppy, measure the square hole in bushing. If the bottom of the square hole is 1/16” or greater than the square shoulder of the new blade bolt the bushings should be replaced. Bushings can be removed by cutting bushing head where it is welded to carrier bar.
MAINTENANCE BLADE CARRIER INSTALLATION Clean the splines on both the blade carrier and output shaft. Position carrier on the gearbox output shaft and install special washer nut. Tighten nut holding blade carrier to minimum 600 ft. pounds, strike the carrier near the hub several times with a heavy hammer to seat the hub. Use a suitable spacer over the nut to prevent damage to the nut and threads. Retighten the nut to 600 ft. pounds. Install cotter pin and spread.
MAINTENANCE SLIP CLUTCH If a slip clutch is incorporated in the PTO driveline, it is designed to slip, absorb the shock load, and protect the driveline. This clutch has single disc spring with 6 adjusting nuts. MAINTENANCE After the first hour of operation, the slip clutch should be checked for overheating. After this first check, the slip clutch should be checked weekly or anytime there is overheating.
MAINTENANCE SEASONAL CLUTCH MAINTENANCE It is important that the clutches slip when an obstacle or load heavier than the clutch setting is encountered. Therefore, if the machine sits outside longer than 30 days and is exposed to rain and/or humid air it is important to make sure that the clutch lining plates are not rusted/corroded together. Before using the cutter use the following procedure to make sure the clutch will slip and give the overload protection required.
MAINTENANCE PROPER TORQUE FOR FASTENERS The chart lists the correct tightening torque for fasteners. When bolts are to be tightened or replaced, refer to this chart to determine the grade of bolts and the proper torque except when specific torque values are assigned in manual text. MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDED TORQUE IN FOOT POUNDS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN THE MANUAL* NOTE: These values apply to fasteners as received from supplier, dry or when lubricated with normal engine oil.
