Symptom Explanation/Procedure

Post lodged in the

driver

In the event that a driven post ares and becomes lodged within the chuck, follow these steps:

1. Turn engine off. Remove the four 5/16” lower body bolts and separate the lower body casting from the driver body.

2. Slide the lower body casting down the post to expose the ared top of the post. With the proper cutting tool for the type

of post, cut through the post below the ared portion.

3. Once the ared portion is removed, slide the lower body casting off the post and reassemble it to the driver. Please

follow bolt tightening procedure and use threadlocker.

Recommendation: Do not use “thin-wall” or light gauge round post with the Fence Pro™. It is very likely to flare

this type of post at full throttle.

Drives post slow

or sluggish engine

performance:

Typically this is resulting from improper driver storage or over-lling the oil causing the oil to seep into the combustion

chamber. Position the driver vertically, remove the dipstick to check oil level. (See page 6) If you need to remove some oil,

dispose of it properly. If oil is at proper level, follow the procedure listed in “Pull-start is frozen or hard to pull.”

Pull-start is frozen

or hard to pull:

This typically results from oil seeping into the combustion chamber from improper driver storage or overlling the oil reservoir of the en-

gine. Remove spark plug and pull hand grip several times until it pulls freely. Replace the spark plug. Check the oil level in oil reservoir

to ensure proper level (page 6). Follow starting procedure. It is not unusual, for blue smoke to be emitted from the engine, let the engine

run until smoke clears.

Proper Storage: Do not lay horizontally on the driver side or resting on the engine. If the unit cannot be stored securely in the upright position, place the

chuck on a at surface, leaning toward the engine side until it is supported by the shroud and chuck. Position the driver on an angle with

the top handle at the topmost point.

TAKE SAFETY SERIOUSLY

The Rhino®Fence Pro™gas powered

driver is designed to drive fence posts,

ground rod, form pins, and other like items

into the ground.

!WARNING

!DANGER

!CAUTION

IMPORTANT

NOTE

Uses, other than those

intended, can result in

injury to the operator as well as those

around the operator. Damage to the driver

and to the surrounding area may result as

well. This post driver is intended for use

by professional installers. Never allow

children to operate this tool.

Most accidents can be prevented if you

follow all instructions in this manual and

on the post driver. The most common haz-

ards are discussed below, along with the

best method to protect yourself and others.

UNDERGROUND

UTILITIES: Driving

a post into an underground utility can be

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, exposing

the operator and those around to poten-

tially life threatening danger. Damage to

surrounding property can also occur as a

result of a post being driven into an under-

ground utility. Be absolutely certain that

you are aware of all underground utilities

in the area in which you intend to drive

posts. Ensure that a certied locating ser-

vice has identied all underground utilities

prior to beginning your project. Failure to

do so can be catastrophic. Underground

utilities include but are not limited to:

Electric, Gas, Telephone, Water, Sewer,

TV Cable, Lawn Sprinklers, etc.

GASOLINE:

Gasoline is HIGHLY

FLAMMABLE and EXPLOSIVE. You

can be burned or seriously injured when

handling fuel.

EXHAUST:

The exhaust from the

engine contains poisonous carbon mon-

oxide gas that can build up to dangerous

levels in closed areas. Breathing carbon

monoxide can cause unconsciousness or

death. Never run the engine in a closed or

even partly closed area where people may

be present.

The engine exhaust

from this product contains chemicals

known to the State of California to cause

cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm.

ENGINE

MAINTENANCE:

Improperly maintaining the engine on this

power tool, or failure to correct a problem

before operation, can cause a malfunc-

tion in which you can be seriously hurt or

killed.

In accordance with the engine owner’s

manual, always perform a pre-operation

inspection of the engine before each use

and correct any problem.

DRIVER

MAINTENANCE:

Improperly maintaining the driving

mechanism on this power tool, or failure

to correct a problem before operation, can

cause a malfunction in which you can be

seriously hurt or killed. In accordance with

this manual, always perform a pre-opera-

tion inspection of the driving mechanism

before each use and correct any problem.

POST DRIVER SAFETY IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Do not lend or rent

your post driver with-

out the instruction manuals. Be sure that

anyone using it understands the informa-

tion contained in these manuals.

Do not use this post

driver for any purpose

other than driving posts into the ground.

Misuse may result in personal injury or

property damage, including damage to the

machine.

Minors should never

be allowed to use this

power tool. Bystanders, especially chil-

dren, and animals should not be allowed in

the area where it is in use. Any bystanders

or crew without proper safety equipment

should keep a distance or 20 feet (6.00m)

from the driver when it is in operation.

NEVER let your

power tool run unat-

tended. When it is not in use, shut it o

and make sure that unauthorized persons

do not use it.

Do not operate this

post driver unless the

operator is wearing safety glasses, safety

shoes, hearing protection, gloves or any

other safety equipment advised by, ANSI,

NIOSH, OSHA, or any other safety

regulatory agency, or the employer or the

owner of this post driver.

Hearing protection is required as the

post driver emits noise at 100 dB level.

Bystanders should, at a minimum, wear

safety glasses and hearing protection while

in the presence of this power tool during

operation. If not wearing protective gear,

bystanders should keep a distance of 20

feet (6 m) from the post driver while in

operation.

Prolonged use of a

power tool (or other

machines) exposing the operator to vibra-

tions may produce white nger disease

(Raynaud’s phenomenon) or carpal tunnel

syndrome. These conditions reduce the

hand’s ability to feel and regulate tem-

perature, produce numbness and burning

sensations and may cause nerve and circu-

lation damage and tissue necrosis.

Not all factors contributing to white nger

disease are known, but cold weather,

smoking and diseases or physical condi-

tions that aect blood vessels and blood

transport, as well as high vibration levels

and long periods of exposure to vibration

are mentioned as factors in the develop-

ment of white nger disease. In order to

reduce the risk of white nger disease and

carpal tunnel syndrome, please note the

following:

• The Fence Pro™has been designed with

Rhino®CIS™anti-vibration handles to

reduce the transmission of vibrations

created by the machine to the opera-

tor’s hands. An anti-vibration system is

recommended for those persons using

power tools on a regular or sustained

basis.

• The handle opposite the throttle handle

has been tted with an EPDM foam

grip further dampening vibrations.

• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.

POST DRIVER SAFETY IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

• Ensure that the EPDM foam and the

spring dampening system are in good

working condition.

• Ensure the post driver has no loose

components. Loose components lead to

high vibration levels.

• Maintain a rm grip at all times, but do

not squeeze the handles with constant,

excessive pressure. Take frequent

breaks.

All of the above mentioned precautions

do not guarantee that you will not sustain

white nger disease or carpal tunnel syn-

drome. Therefore, continual and regular

users should closely monitor the condi-

tion of their hands and ngers. If any of

the above symptoms appear, seek medical

advice immediately.

DO NOT modify this

power tool in any way.

DO NOT put anything
