4. Warnings & Precautions
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries are an inherently safe chemistry.
However, safety measures should always be taken. Please adhere to the instructions
within this User Manual for safe handling and operation.
Warnings:
Do not charge with a charge voltage above 58.8V.
Do not charge nor discharge battery when ambient temperature is above 65 °C (149
°F).
Do not install battery where it may contact conductive materials, water, seawater,
strong oxidizers, nor strong acids.
Do not install battery in a location exposed to direct sun, hot surfaces, nor hot
locations. Do not install batteries in a tight clearance compartment, overheating
may result.
Keep any flammable/combustible material (e.g. paper, cloth, plastic, etc.) that may
be ignited by heat, sparks, flames, or any other heat source at a minimum distance
of two feet away from the batteries.
Disconnect batteries immediately if, during operation or charging, they emit an
unusual smell, develop heat, or behave abnormally.
Have a Class ABC or Class BC fire extinguisher on the premises.
Precautions:
Handle batteries and/or battery-powered devices cautiously to not damage
the battery casing or connections.
Do not charge battery if ambient temperature is below -20 °C (-4 °F), nor
discharge battery if ambient temperature is below -30 °C (-22 °F).
Before storing battery for more than 6 months, charge the battery to 53V or
above.
For long-term storage, disconnect batteries from your power system.
Always wear protective gear when handling batteries.
Do not place any objects on top of batteries.
Make sure all cable connections are properly tightened.
Install and remove batteries using the handles provided.
7
For any questions and further assistance, call 1-818-280-3091.

Installation Safety Guidelines:
●Inspect batteries upon receipt for any signs of damage before use.
●Check to ensure that all cables are in good condition.
●Use a screwdriver with a rubber coated handle.
●When your battery has been charging and has come to maximum charge (up to
58.8V max.), your battery may experience a slight voltage drop either immediately or
within the hour after unplugging. This is normal and should be no cause for concern.
5. Installation

5.2 Wall Mount
Step 1:
If installing onto wood-studded drywall:
1. Choose the height you would like to install the battery and locate studs
with a stud finder where you will mount the top cross bar (A1).
2. Use a small drill bit to find the edges of the stud by drilling several small
holes horizontally.
3. Mark the center of the studs with a small vertical line.
4. Make another set of marks denoting the center of the studs 55.3 cm
(21.75 in) below your original markings. These will be for your second
mounting bar (A2).
5. Place and level the first cross bar (A1) to line up the holes in the first cross
bar (A1) with the center stud marks.
6. Level and fasten first mounting cross bar (A1) onto the wall where you will
be installing your RHINO using the MS2 screws provided. This will be the
top crossbar of your wall mount
If installing onto brick or concrete wall:
1. Choose the height you would like to install the battery.
2. Place and level the top cross bar (A1).
3. In each of the holes on the first cross bar (A1), mark the wall.
4. Make another set of marks denoting the center of the studs 55.3 cm
(21.75 in) below your original markings. These will be for your second
mounting bar (A2).
5. Drill holes into the wall over each marking, and place the anchor portion of
each of your mounting screws (MS1) in each hole.
6. Place the first cross bar (A1) so it lines up with your drilled and anchored
holes.
7. Level and fasten first mounting cross bar (A1) onto the wall where you will
be installing your RHINO using the MS1 screws provided, as seen in Figure
1. This will be the top crossbar of your wall mount.
Fig. 1
(Make sure to use the appropriate mounting screw - MS1 or MS2 - for the
material you will be mounting to)
10
For any questions and further assistance, call 1-818-280-3091.

Step 2:
If installing onto wood-studded drywall:
1. Place and level the second mounting crossbar (A2) on the wall exactly 55.245
cm (21.75 in) (bottom of A1 to bottom of A2) below the top crossbar (A1).
Use the spreader bars (B1 & B2) to determine appropriate distance, as seen in
Figure 2.
2. Ensure the holes of the second mounting crossbar (A2) line up with the
markings made in Step 1.
3. Once position is set, mount second crossbar (A2) to wall using the MS2
screws provided, as seen in Figure 1. This will be the bottom crossbar of your
wall mount.
If installing onto brick or concrete wall:
1. Drill holes into the wall over each marking made in Step 1, and place the
anchor portion of each of your mounting screws (MS1) in each hole.
2. Place and level the second mounting crossbar (A2) on the wall exactly 55.3
cm (21.75 in) (bottom of A1 to bottom of A2) below the top crossbar (A1).
Use the spreader bars (B1 & B2) to determine appropriate distance, as seen in
Figure 2.
3. Ensure the holes of the second mounting crossbar (A2) line up with the drilled
and anchored holes.
4. Once position is set, mount second crossbar (A2) to wall using the MS2
screws provided, as seen in Figure 1. This will be the bottom crossbar of your
wall mount.
Fig. 2
(Spreader bars – B1 & B2 – are not weight-bearing, and are intended for
alignment purposes only)
11
For any questions and further assistance, call 1-818-280-3091.

Step 3:
1. Once both top and bottom mounting crossbars (A1 & A2) are secured to your
wall, set your first spreader bar (B1) onto crossbars (A1 & A2). Assuming the
crossbars (white) were installed with the appropriate distance between them,
the spreader bar (B1) should set cleanly in place.
2. Secure first spreader bar (B1) onto crossbars (A1 & A2) with pan screws (PS)
provided, as seen in Figure 3.
3. Repeat this process for your second spreader bar (B2).
Fig. 3
(Image shows top of B2 and right side of A1)
12
For any questions and further assistance, call 1-818-280-3091.

Step 4:
1. Attach rope handles (RH) to sides of RHINO using the flat top screws (FS)
provided, as seen in Figure 4.
Fig. 4
Step 5:
1. Using rope handles (RH) and supporting the front of the unit with your hand,
set RHINO onto mounting crossbars (A1 & A2), as seen in Figure 5. If
crossbars are spaced appropriately and level, RHINO should set cleanly onto
the crossbars (A1 & A2).
Fig. 5
(NOTE: For safety, use at least 3 people when lifting and setting RHINO onto wall
mount. 4+ people is recommended for maximum safety.)
13
For any questions and further assistance, call 1-818-280-3091.

Step 6:
1. Connect the Ring Terminals of your Anderson SB175 to Ring Terminal Cable
(SB) to your power system.
2. With the RHINO now mounted on your wall, remove side panel of RHINO.
3. Connect Anderson SB175 end of Anderson SB175 to Ring Terminal Cable (SB)
to Anderson SB175 cable inside of the RHINO, as seen in Figure 6.
4. Reattach side panel of RHINO.
Fig. 6
5.3 Floor Stand
WARNING: Before installing your RHINOs onto the floor stand (FLS),
make sure the wheels are facing outward with the locking mechanism
engaged. If wheels are rotated inward, regardless of whether locking
mechanism is engaged, there is a greater risk of the floor stand (FLS)
tipping over which could result in injury.
Step 1:
1. Attach rope handles (RH) to sides of the first RHINO unit using the flat top
screws (FS) provided, as seen in Figure 4.
14
For any questions and further assistance, call 1-818-280-3091.

Step 2:
1. Set first RHINO onto one side of floor stand. The RHINO should set cleanly
into the cutout section of the white mounting bar on the inside the floor stand
(FLS), as seen in Figure 7.
Fig. 7
(NOTE: For safety, use at least 2 people when lifting and setting RHINO onto floor
stand (FLS). 3+ people is recommended for maximum safety.)
Step 3:
1. Connect the Ring Terminals of your Anderson SB175 to Ring Terminal Cable
(SB) to your power system.
2. Remove side panel of RHINO.
3. Connect Anderson SB175 end of Anderson SB175 to Ring Terminal Cable (SB)
to Anderson SB175 cable inside of the RHINO, as seen in Figure 6.
4. Reattach side panel of RHINO.
15
For any questions and further assistance, call 1-818-280-3091.

Step 4:
1. Repeat Steps 1 – 3 with your second RHINO. When finished, your RHINOs and
floor stand should resemble Figure 8.
Fig. 8
Step 5:
1. Once both RHINOs are set into place, set crossbar plates (CP) onto
corresponding screw holes on the top of the floor stand
2. Secure to floor stand with the flat top screws (FS) provided, as seen in Figure
9.
3. Once crossbars are secured, you may unlock wheels and move your RHINOs
freely.
