Operating the Grinder
DANGER! ALL internal combustion engines produce Carbon Monoxide (CO),
a highly toxic, invisible, odorless, tasteless gas that can cause injury and death within
minutes. Only operate machines with internal combustion engines in well ventilated
areas and always follow machine manufacturers operation instructions…
Information about Carbon Monoxide
WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly toxic, invisible, odorless, tasteless gas.
HOW IS CO GENERATED?
Carbon monoxide is generated through incomplete combustion of fuel in applications
such as automobiles, forklifts, and small engines.
HOW DOES CO POISON PEOPLE?
The human body depends on oxygen for the burning of fuel (food) to provide us with
the energy that allows our cells to live and function. Oxygen makes up approximately
21% of the atmosphere and enters our lungs when we breathe. In our lungs the oxygen
combines with the hemoglobin in the blood (oxyhemoglobin) and is carried in the blood
stream throughout the body where it releases oxygen to the cells.
Carbon monoxide is dangerous because it bonds more tightly to the hemoglobin
(carboxyhemoglobin, COHb) than oxygen does. When CO combines with hemoglobin,
the hemoglobin's ability to combine with oxygen is lost. As the COHb concentration
rises, people become nauseous, unconscious and ultimately die (see below).
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING?
Many people often confuse carbon monoxide poisoning with the flu; the initial
symptoms being very similar. Different concentrations of CO over various lengths of time
cause different symptoms.
WARNING: The following symptoms may be related to CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING and should be discussed with EVERYONE.
MILD EXPOSURE: Slight headaches, nausea, vomiting, running nose, sore eyes, fatigue
(often described as “Flu-like” symptoms).

RLP800 Users Manual
9
MEDIUM EXPOSURE: Severe throbbing headache, dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, fast
heart rate.
EXTREME EXPOSURE: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardiorespiratory failure, brain
damage, death.
Many cases of CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING indicate that while victims are aware
that they are not well, they become so disoriented
that they are unable to save themselves by either
exiting the building or calling for assistance. Older
adults, young children, pregnant women (and
their unborn children), and persons with medical
conditions are typically the first affected.
Prior to starting the grinder
1. Inspect the grinder to make sure all bolts are tight, and that tools are properly mounted
2. Check that propane tanks are properly mounted and that the gas connectors are secure
Starting the grinder
DO NOT LIFT THE EQUIPMENT OFF THE GROUND WHILE STARTING!
Doing so can cause the tools to release from the equipment and cause damage to
the surface being finished and harm to the user!
1. Open the valve on the propane tank
2. Move the throttle lever to half throttle position
3. Use full choke when the engine is cold, but in hot weather or when the engine is already
warm use half choke or leave the choke fully open
4. With the machine in an upright position, set the articulating handle to the desired
position.
5. Apply downward pressure on the handle to alleviate some pressure on the tools and
6. Put the switch key into the engine switch
7. Turn the key to the start position. Usually the engine will start within 3 seconds

RLP800 Users Manual
10
NOTE: Do not run the electric starter continuously for more than 5 seconds, otherwise the
battery may discharge quickly. If the engine does not start right away, wait 15 seconds and try
again
Warming up
1. After the engine starts, move the throttle lever on the equipment to halfway between
“FAST” and “SLOW”.
2. To warm up the engine, run it for 3 to 5 minutes with the throttle lever in the same load
position (halfway) before putting the equipment under load.
NOTE: Allow engine to warm up sufficiently (3 to 5 minutes at idle) before applying a load. This
will allow oil to reach all engine parts, and allow piston clearance to reach design specifications
Engine Inclination
The engine will operate continuously at angles up to 25 degrees in any direction.
NOTE: Do not operate the engine continuously at angles exceeding 25 degrees in any direction.
Engine damage could result from insufficient lubrication.
Adjusting the speed
1. Use the throttle lever to increase or reduce the speed.
Stopping the equipment
1. To stop the equipment, move the throttle lever to the slowest setting and,
2. Keep the engine idling for about 1 minute, then
3. Turn the engine switch or switch key to the “OFF” position.
Emergency Stop
1. Immediately turn the switch to the “OFF” position, or hit the emergency stop button.
Adjusting the handle
1. Make sure machine is off
2. Pull the hand latch or step on foot latch on the handle and move handle up or down to
the desired position.
Avoid stepping on or tangling handle control cable when adjusting the handle position.
Make sure that the latch clicks in place when the desired position is achieved.
WARNING: Failure to check for positive handle latch engagement could result in
damage to the equipment or injury to the user as the handle could release
unexpectedly when the machine is being operated or tilted back!

Using the biased weight kit
The Rhino line of equipment was designed to be used with our biased weight kit, which
allows our machines to be loaded with weights to increase point pressure for very hard
floors and to rapidly expose aggregate.
Our unique patented biased weight system uses standard Olympic weight plates,
allowing placement on either side of the machine to increase pressure when grinding
edges with slab curl and high and low spots.
Weights can also be placed on the handle to alleviate pressure and weight from the
machine, enabling the Rhino to be easily and effectively used for soft & rained out slabs.
For best results and to increase production we highly recommend utilizing weights with
your Rhino grinder.

WARNING: Always turn grinder off and remove the key from the ignition before
performing any operations to the bottom of the machine!
When removing and inserting tool plates or adapter plates, be sure to inspect rubber grommets
for signs for wear and replace any damaged grommets.
WARNING: Using grommets that are damaged or missing can cause unexpected
equipment operation and increase the chance of tool plate / adapter plate ejection or
violent vibration leading to loss of control of equipment!
To change the tools:
1. Turn grinder off
2. Use the biased weight kit peg on the lower part of the handle to help you tilt the
machine back and gently lay it on it’s back.
WARNING: Do not attempt to replace tools that have recently been in use as they may be
hot and could cause injury
