SAFE START UP & SHUT DOWN
Unstable generator power during start-up increases the risk of damage to RhinoBond Tools.
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions may cause damage
to your RhinoBond tool.
NEVER
start generator with tool plugged in.
ALWAYS
start generator first, then plug in tool.
WHEN NOT IN USE,
unplug the tool.
Start portable generator and allow to warm up for 2 minutes.
Auto-Throttle, Auto-Idle and/or Eco-Idle switches must be in OFF position.
Simply unplug the RhinoBond tool to shut down. When resuming work, confirm that generator is running at full speed and delivering stable power before plugging in
the RhinoBond tool.
INSULATION COMPATIBILITY
RhinoBond is compatible with polyisocyanurate, mineral wool and hard cover boards as well as any insulation that will not melt by the induction welding process.
When using RhinoBond over XPS, EPS, use a minimum 1/4-in. (6 mm) thick cover board or 4-in. (102 mm) diameter cardboard discs under each plate to protect the
insulation from melting. On foil faced insulation, the recommended minimum cover board is 1½-in. (38 mm).
Metal Deck
A minimum of 1½-inches (38 mm) of insulation over a metal deck is required for proper tool operation.
PROPER FASTENER INSTALLATION
Always follow the roof system manufacturer’s fastening patterns for field, perimeter, and corner areas needed to achieve desired wind ratings (i.e.: FM 1-90, FM
1-120, etc.).
Fasteners installed in a straight row in a least one direction with even spacing makes locating fasteners under the membrane easier and speeds installation.
Snap chalk lines to lay-out fastener grid pattern for field, perimeters, and corners.
Fasteners must not be overdriven. Plates should be tight enough that you cannot turn them with your hand. Overdriven fasteners are harder to find and may result
in a poor or partial bond.
UV EXPOSURE
RhinoBond Plates must be protected from prolonged UV (ultra violet) sun exposure. Installed RhinoBond plates must be covered with membrane by the end of each
workday. Keep RhinoBond buckets covered when not retrieving plates.
