What to do if RHINO Paper Shredder gearbox is leaking?
- R
  ronald34Aug 18, 2025
  If your RHINO Paper Shredder's gearbox is leaking, several issues could be the cause. A damaged oil seal is a common culprit, requiring seal replacement. A bent or rough shaft in the oil seal area also leads to leaks, necessitating shaft replacement or repair. Ensure the oil seal is installed correctly and sealing properly against the housing; if not, replace it, potentially using sealant. High oil levels should be corrected by draining to the proper level. Other causes include sand holes in the casting (requiring replacement of castings or the gearbox), damaged gaskets (replace the gasket), or loose bolts (tighten them).

  Overheating in your RHINO Paper Shredder's gearbox can be caused by several factors. First, check the lubricant level and fill to the level plug or dipstick if low. Using the improper type of lubricant can also cause overheating; replace it with Rhino 00786250 lubricant. Ensure the gearbox is properly vented by removing any excessive trash build-up around it. If the bearings or gears are set up improperly, consult your dealer.

How to fix uneven cut with my RHINO Paper Shredder?
- E
  Ellen HayesAug 26, 2025
  An uneven cut with your RHINO Paper Shredder can result from several factors. Reduce excessive ground speed to ensure a more even cut. Check the blades for wear, dullness, or bending, and replace them if necessary. Ensure the mower is level from side to side and adjust if needed. Correct any improper height adjustments. Low tractor tire pressure on one side can also cause an uneven cut, so adjust tire pressure accordingly. Reduce ground speed when turning. Adjust your tractor wheel spacing if the tires are pushing the grass down. Repair or replace a damaged mower pan. Ensure phasing cylinders are filled with oil and rephase them if needed, especially if air is trapped in the cylinder circuit. Replace any damaged cylinders and rephase cylinders.
