SAFE START UP & SHUT DOWN
NOTICE
• NEVER start or stop a generator with a RhinoBond tool plugged in.
• ALWAYS start the generator first and confirm that the generator is running at full speed and delivering stable power before plugging in the
RhinoBond tool.
• Start portable generator and allow it to warm up for two (2) minutes. The Auto-Throttle, Auto-Idle and/or Eco-Idle switches must all be in
the OFF position.
• WHEN NOT IN USE, unplug the tool.
• Simply unplug the RhinoBond tool to shut down.
• ALWAYS unplug the RhinoBond tool BEFORE TURNING OFF/ POWERING DOWN the generator.
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 or 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 at 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.

RhinoBond Plates must be protected from prolonged UV (ultra-violet) sun exposure for best results. Installed RhinoBond plates
must be covered with membrane by the end of each workday. Keep RhinoBond buckets covered when not retrieving plates.
