RHINO Multi-Pro XA User manual

Before Starting the Engine
Fuel: REGULAR GASOLINE ONLY (up to E-85 ethanol blend). DO NOT
MIX OIL WITH GAS as it will damage the engine. Check the fuel level and
make sure the gas cap is fully threaded on.
Engine Oil: Position the driver upright and check the oil level with the
dipstick. If needed, add 10W-30 oil being careful not to overll. Replace the
dipstick.
Crankcase Lubricant: Unscrew the crankcase
cover from the driver and check the lubricant level
collected on the inside wall of the crank case. ere
should be a 1/8"to 1/4"ridge of lubricant. If there is
1/8"or less add Rhino® Pro-Series Lubricant or an
EP-0 rated lubricant if needed. e driver is not a
completely sealed system and you may notice small
amounts of lubricant on the posts from time to time. Replace the crankcase cover by hand. Do
not over-tighten.
Installing Adapters: Unscrew the Chuck-
Lok™ nut from the bottom of the Multi-Pro™.
Slide the two-piece adapters into the chuck
tube until they are seated. Re-attached the
Chuck-Lok™ nut over the adapters onto
the chuck tube. ALWAYS TIGHTEN THE
LOCKING NUT IN PLACE TO PROTECT
THE CHUCK THREADS, EVEN WITHOUT
ADAPTER.
Installing Multi-Pro XA Specialty Chucks:
Remove the Chuck-Lok™ Master Chuck from the
bottom of the driver by removing the four bolts
with a 1/4"Hex wrench. Use Acetone or clean-
ing solvent with a cloth to remove threadlocker
residue from the bolts and bolt holes. Prime the
bolts with Loctite 7649 Primer and install four
wedge lock washers, one per bolt. Apply Loctite
243 read Locker to the bolt threads and install the specialty
chuck. e large chucks for wood post will
require an adapter plate to be installed be-
tween the driver and large chuck.
Starting the Engine: Move the Choke lever
to the closed position. Press the primer
repeatedly until fuel can be seen in the clear
return line. Switch the throttle switch to the
ON position. Holding the driver upright
slowly pull the starter grip until you ll a re-
sistance, then with a swi motion pull the starter grip to start the unit. Gradually move the choke
lever to the open position as the engine warms up. Do not throttle the driver when not seated
on a post as it will damage the unit. continued on back...

IMPORTANT
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
UNDERGROUND
UTILITIES: Best
practices are to contact utility or your
municipality office to determine if area is
safe to drive post. Driving a post into an
underground utility can be EXTREMELY
DANGEROUS, exposing the operator
and those around to potentially life threat-
ening danger. Damage to surrounding
property can also occur as a result of a
post being driven into an underground
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 certified locating service
has identified 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 HIGH-
LY 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 reproduc-
tive harm.
HEARING
PROTECTION
IS REQUIRED as the post driver emits
noise over 85 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.
SURROUNDINGS:
This power tool
emits noise at 100 Db, which may be dis-
turbing to animals and livestock. Ensure
prior to operation, that any livestock are
cleared from the operational area to pre-
vent a situation in which startled livestock
become a safety hazard.

Driving a Post
1.) Start with the unit on the ground running
and with the opposite end of the post lined up
with where it will be driven into the ground.
2.) Raise the chuck tube and insert the post
fully into the chuck tube. Raise the driver and
post together.
3.) Holding the post driver with your left hand
on the foam grip and your right hand on the
throttle will position the driver to direct the
engine exhaust away from the operator.
4.) Position the driver aligned centered
to the post. Do not allow the driver to tilt
forward, back or to the side. If not aligned
properly, damage could be caused to the
driver or the post.
5.) Apply steady downward pressure to
the handles and apply enough throttle to
engage the clutch and hammer.
6.) Once you are confi dent that the post
is driving straight, apply full throttle to
the driver until the post is driven to the
desired depth.
7.) Release the trigger dropping the
engine RPM back to idle before
removing from the post. When the
engine has returned to idle, proceed
to the next post repeating the previ-
ous method of driving a post.
When driving tall post, follow safe
working practices by having a second
person as a helper and work from a
safe elevated height. Do not attempt
to drive a tall post if the operator is
not in the proper position to operate
the post driver safely.
Storage
Improper storage can reduce post
driving effi ciency and cause the
engine to run sluggish. When storing
your Multi-Pro XA, DO NOT lay
it horizontally on the driver side
or resting on the engine. If the unit
cannot be stored securely in an
upright position, place the chuck
with locking nut installed on the fl at
surface, lean it toward the engine side
until it is supported by the shroud and
chuck. This will position the driver
on an angle with the top handle at the
topmost point.
