Before Operation

Before Operation Safety

Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories
and attachments are needed to properly and
safely perform the job. Only use accessories and
attachments approved by Z Turf Equipment.

Inspect the area where the machine is to be used
and remove all rocks, toys, sticks, wires, bones,
and other foreign objects. These can be thrown
or interfere with the operation of the machine
and may cause personal injury to the operator or
bystanders.

Prior to use, evaluate surfaces to be cleaned to
ensure proper footing or traction on slippery or
wet surfaces.

This machine was designed for one operator only.
Do Not carry passengers.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment
such as safety glasses, long pants, substantial
slip-resistant footwear, and hearing protection.
Tie back long hair and avoid loose clothing and
loose jewelry which may get tangled in moving
parts.

This machine produces sound levels in excess of
85 dBA at the operator’s ear and can cause hearing
loss through extended periods of exposure. Wear
hearing protection when operating this machine.

Check that the following items are in place and in
proper working condition: the operator presence
controls, safety switches, guards, and shields. Do
Not operate the machine unless they are in proper
working condition. Replace worn or deteriorated
parts with genuine Z Turf Equipment parts when
necessary.

Do Not operate the machine when people,
especially children, or pets are in the area. Shut

off the machine and attachment(s) if anyone
enters the area.

Do Not operate the machine without the safety
devices in place and in proper working condition.
Components are subject to wear, damage and
deterioration, which could expose moving parts
or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check
for worn or deteriorating components and replace
them with the manufacturer’s recommended parts
when necessary.

Fuel Safety

Use extreme care when handling fuel.

DANGER

Gasoline is extremely flammable and vapors are
explosive.

A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you,
others, and cause property damage.

Fill the fuel tank outdoors on level ground,
in an open area, when the engine is cold. If
fuel is spilled, Do Not attempt to start the
engine. Move away from the area of the spill
and avoid creating any source of ignition until
fuel vapors have dissipated.

Do Not refill the fuel tank or drain the
machine indoors or inside an enclosed trailer.

Never smoke when handling gasoline, and
stay away from an open flame or where
gasoline fumes may be ignited by spark.

Add fuel before starting the engine. Never
remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel
when engine is running or when the engine
is hot.

Store gasoline in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children.

Do Not operate without entire exhaust system
in place and in proper working condition.

In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released causing a spark which
can ignite gasoline vapors.

– Do not fill containers inside a vehicle or on a

truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always
place containers on the ground and away from
your vehicle before filling.
