The Rhino®Pro-Series™gas powered
drivers are designed to drive fence post,
ground rod, delineator post, grape stake,
form pin, tent stake and other like items
into the ground depending on the Pro-
Series model used for post driving.
Uses, other than those
intended, can result
in injury to the operator as well as those
around the operator. Damage to the driver,
extended handles and to the surrounding
area may result as well.
This post driver, and extended handles, are
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,
on the post driver, and on the extened
handles. The most common hazards 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.
POWER LINES:
DO NOT use the post
driver with the extended handle attach-
ment near any overhead obstructions such
as electrical, cable, or telephone lines.
Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 feet
(3 meters) from all power lines.
GASOLINE: Gaso-
line is HIGHLY
FLAMMABLE and EXPLOSIVE. You
can be burned or seriously injured when
handling fuel.
EXHAUST: The ex-
haust from the engine
contains poisonous carbon monoxide 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-operation inspection of the
driving mechanism before each use and
correct any problem.
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.
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 regu-
latory agency, 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 50
feet (15 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:
• This Pro-Series™post driver has been
designed with Rhino®CIS™anti-vibra-
tion handles to reduce the transmission

of vibrations created by the machine to
the operator’s hands. An anti-vibration
system is recommended for those per-
sons 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.
• Ensure that the EPDM foam and the
spring dampening system are in good
working condition.
• Ensure the post driver has no loose com-
ponents. 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
other than a post into
the chuck on the driver.
DO NOT operate your
post driver unless it
is on a post to be driven. Operation of the
driver without it driving on a post could
damage the power tool.
SURROUNDINGS:
This power tool emits
noise at 100 Db, which may be disturbing
to animals and livestock. Ensure prior to
operation, that any livestock are cleared
from the operational area to prevent a situ-
ation in which startled livestock become a
safety hazard.

If any of your post driver or extended
handle's warning labels are marred or
destroyed, replace it immediately. Please
send a request indicating which label is
needed, and Rhino Tool Company will
send you a new warning label at no ex-
pense to you.

Your Rhino®Pro-Series™Gas Powered
Driver is an ecient and eective power
tool designed and developed to tackle a
dicult and time consuming task; driving
posts. The extended handle accessory is
intended to make driving tall posts easier.
Safe operating practices must be followed
while operating the post driver with the
extended handles. It is very important to
understand that your post driver is a very
powerful machine; it has to be to do the
very dicult job it is designed to perform.
You must read and understand your post
driver and extended handle operating
instructions before using the post driver.
It is also very important that you make
sure all operators are trained to operate
your post driver safely with the extended

AVOID SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH
READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE
USING YOUR POST DRIVER
Visually inspect your Multi-Pro™Post
Driver before use. The interior of the
chuck tube should be checked for obstruc-
tions, damage or wear to the chuck tube
and anvil inside. The outer surfaces of the
driver should also be inspected for any
defects. Do not use the Multi-Pro™if there
is any damage or wear until the damage or
wear is corrected and repaired.
Check all uid levels, i.e. engine oil and
fuel and ll as needed as per manufac-
turer’s specications. (Fig. 1)
Proper oil level is essential to
the operation of the post driver.
Overlling of the oil will result in loss of
power and may cause permanent damage
to the engine.
USE ALL
RECOMMENDED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
Rest the driver on a solid surface, i.e.
tailgate, bench, or clear, solid ground and
posture your body in a safe position. DO
NOT start the driver anywhere but an
open, well-ventilated area. It is recom-
mended that the Multi-Pro™only be used
outdoors and never inside an enclosed

not engage the clutch.
Hot Restart
If the engine is operated at higher ambient
temperatures, then turned o and allowed
to sit for a short time, it may not restart on
the rst pull. If necessary, use the follow-
ing procedure:
Failure to follow instructions can result in
personal injury
IMPORTANT
SAFETY
PRECAUTION
Turn the engine switch to the OFF
position before performing the following
procedure. This will prevent the engine
from starting and running at maximum
speed when the throttle is in the MAX.
speed position. If the engine starts with
the throttle in the MAX. speed position,
the post driver will operate at maximum
power. This may result in personal injury
and damage to the post driver.
1. Turn the engine switch on the post
driver to the OFF position.
2. Move the choke lever to the OPEN
position.
3. Hold the throttle in the MAX speed
position.
4. Pull the starter grip 3 to 5 times.
Follow the STARTING THE ENGINE
procedure on the previous page and start
the engine with the choke lever in the
OPEN position.
Driving a Post
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 (Fig 6). (See Exhaust Warning)
Insert a post into the Multi-Pro™making
sure the end of the post to be driven is in
the correct location on the ground. (Fig. 7)
Position the driver aligned centered to the
post. If not aligned properly, damage could
be caused to the driver or the post.
Apply steady downward pressure to the
handles and apply enough throttle to en-
gage the clutch and hammer.

Once you are condent that the post is
driving straight, apply full throttle to the
driver until the post is driven to the desired
depth.
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
previous method of driving a post.
Installing a Chuck Adapter
CHUCK SIZE: A
chuck or chuck adapter
that is too large for the post being driven
may damage the driver and may damage
the end of the post. Using a the appropri-
ate chuck or chuck with adapter will align
the post to optimum striking position and
prevent damage to the driver. See the chart
in the operating manual that came with
your post driver to specify the appropriate
adapter for your application. Chucks and
chuck adapters wear out and should be
replaced as needed. Inspect your driver’s
chuck and chuck adapters frequently.
Some Pro-Series™drivers are equipped
with the Rhino®Chuck-Lok™Adapter Sys-
tem. It is comprised of the master chuck,
the locking nut and two-piece adapters.
ALWAYS HAVE THE
LOCKING NUT IN
PLACE WHEN DRIVING POSTS:
The Chuck-Lok™locking nut should
always be tightened onto the master chuck
to protect the chuck threads, even when
not using an adapter. Failure to do so ex-
poses the chuck to possible damage.
The two-piece adapter design is a solu-
tion for the occasional flared post. Should
a post flare and lodge inside the chuck
when using the adapter, in most cases the
operator can loosen the locking nut letting
it slide down the post, then lift the driver
off the post. The operator can quickly
re-insert the adapter, secure them with the
locking nut and resume driving posts.
See Fig. 8 for steps for installing Chuck-
Lok™adapters.

POST DRIVER & EXTENDED HANDLE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Installing an Alternative Chuck
Some of the Pro-Series™drivers have a
quick change design that allows the opera-
tor to quickly remove the standard master
chuck and install an alternative chuck
configuration for the post driving applica-
tion. Please refer to the manual that came
with your Pro-Series™post driver model
for instructions on changing the standard
master chuck. If you need a chuck option
for a specific post, contact your Rhino
Tool Company representative to inquire if
there is an option available.
NEVER REFUEL
WITH THE ENGINE
HOT OR RUNNING: Never refuel your
Multi-Pro™with the engine hot or run-
ning as there is a possibility the ammable
fumes from the gasoline can ignite, caus-
ing severe injury and/or damage to your
Multi-Pro™and surrounding area. Follow
engine manufacturer’s instructions for the
refueling of the engine.
DO NOT OPEN
CRANKCASE COV-
ER WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING.

POST DRIVER & EXTENDED HANDLE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

11
DRESS PROPERLY
When operating the
post driver with the
Rhino®Pro-Series™Extended Handles
wear a hard hat, boots and gloves. Wear
eye and hearing protection.
KEEP
BYSTANDERS AT
A SAFE DISTANCE
Keep all bystanders at least 50 ft (15 m)
from the operating area during usage.
Keep animals and children away from the
area when using the extended handles.
MAINTAIN
BALANCE
When operating the
post driver with the extended handle ac-
cessory, lay all posts down on the ground
and insert into the post driver master
chuck from the side. Once the post is
inserted have another operator guide the
post to a standing position, while the other
operator raises the post driver by rmly
holding the extended handles with both
hands until the post driver and the post
are in a vertical position. It is important
to lift properly with the knees, maintain
good footing, proper grip and stance. Be
sure the operator running the post driver
is capable of lifting a minimum weight of
45 lbs. Avoid all usage which the operator
feels to be beyond their capability. One
operator will continue to hold the post in
place until the other operator has driven
the post securely into the ground.
When removing the driver from the post,
make sure both hands are rmly on both
side handles. Lift with the knees with
feet rmly planted shoulder width apart
to maintain stability. Keep elbows bent
and close to the body while lifting the
driver. Never swing or reach too far with
the post driver while it is being used with
the extended handle accessory. Using the
post driver with extended handles while
standing on ladders, lifts or other raised,
unsecured surfaces is not advised.
The design of the
Rhino®Pro-Series™
Extended Handles should not be modi-
ed without the permission of the manu-
facturer. Always use genuine Rhino®
Pro-Series™ Accessories. Non-authorized
modications and/or accessories can result
in serious personal injury to the operator
or others.
GENERAL
MAINTENANCE
All Rhino®Pro-Series™Post Drivers and
Accessories should be maintained and
repaired by qualied technicians using
identical replacement parts. If you notice
any bent or broken parts on your post
driver or extended handles, contact your
local dealer or Rhino Tool Company to or-
der replacement parts. Do not operate with
damaged or missing parts. Visit www.
