OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Rhino Booms are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. The DB150 is designed to attach to a
tractor and mow in pond embankments, weeds, and grass or other agricultural applications that may apply.
The boom and head is equipped with safety warning decals, protective deflectors, shields, and other safety
features to provide operator and passerby protection, however, no shielding is 100% accurate. ALL safety
equipment and safety warning decals must be maintained on the unit in good operational condition at all times.
• All THROWN OBJECT SHIELDING including, Front and Rear Deflectors and Skid Shoes are in place and
in good condition when mowing.
• Mower is adjusted to be close and parallel to ground without exposing blades.
• MOWING AREA has been inspected and foreign materials and debris have been removed.
• PASSERSBY are inside enclosed vehicle.
It is the operator’s responsibility to be knowledgeable of all potential operating hazards and to take every
reasonable precaution to ensure oneself, others, animals, and property are not injured or damaged by the
boom unit, tractor or a thrown object. Do not operate the boom and attached head if bystanders, passersby,
pets or livestock are within 300 feet of the unit.
