PD-110, PD-140, and PD-200 Post Drivers are
designed to drive many types of post and other like items into the
ground. (See Chart on left) Uses, other than those intended, can
result in injury to the operator, others near by, or 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 untrained personnel or 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 hazards
are described in the following text, along with the best method
to protect yourself and others. If you or any operator doesn’t
understand any of the instructions, call Rhino at (309) 853-
5555 or toll free 866-707-1808. In Europe contact Eurogate Int.
(0031) (0) 523 638286 or (0031) (0) 610 502607. It is
VERY
IMPORTANT
to understand that your driver is a very powerful
machine.
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH,
READ BEFORE USING YOUR POST
DRIVER!
UNDERGROUND UTILITIES:
Be
absolutely sure you know location of all
underground utilities before driving so you
can avoid hitting them while driving a post into the ground.
Utilities include but are not limited to Electric, Gas, Telephone,
Water, Sewer, TV Cable, Lawn Sprinklers, Etc. Hitting an
underground utility could be
EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
for
the operator and others.
AIR PRESSURE:
It is strongly
recommended that you use a Filter-
Regulator-Lubricator combination with your
Rhino Air Operated Post Driver. The use of the pressure regulator
is required for safety. Set the pressure regulator at 100 PSI (7 kg/
cm
2
). Higher air pressures will not make your driver perform
better. High air pressure could cause your post driver to lift off
and fall from the post causing serious injury or death.
DO NOT
tie down the throttle valve so it will not shut off when released.
If the throttle valve does not stop the unit immediately when
released, repair or replace it.
Slowly squeeze the air throttle
valve lever to start the driver
. Opening the throttle valve slowly
will prevent a violent start of the driver. Never use anything to
keep the throttle valve lever in the open position other than the
operator’s hand. For safety, the valve must close, stopping the
drive, when the operator releases the valve lever.
CHUCK SIZING:
A chuck or chuck adapter
that is too large for the post being driven
may contribute to a condition which would
allow the post driver to fall from the post causing serious injury
or death. Do not use a chuck or chuck adapter that is too large
for the post being driven. The post should be loose in the chuck
