The trimmer line should be no longer than 6” per side of the trimmer head. Longer lengths will cause excessive power 
consumption and reduce the efficiency of the trimmer. 

Note:

 

Always operate the Z-Trimmer with the mower or tractor at full throttle.

The breakaway action of the Z-Trimmer is intended to provide relief  when hitting objects. Many zero turn radius 
mowers travel at speeds of 8+ MPH. At speeds greater than 2 MPH, hitting objects with the Z-Trimmer 

will

 cause 

damage to the unit. The trimmer is intended to trim at a speed of 1 MPH, depending on the material that is being 
trimmed. Trimming at faster speeds will decrease performance of the trimmer. 

Thank you for purchasing the newly re-designed PECO Z-Trimmer model number ZT-3000. We took all the great 
features our customers have grown to love, and improved them for greater durability and performance. 

The Z-Trimmer is an attachment for your riding mower, zero-turn mower or tractor, that allows you to trim and mow at 
the same time. Your productivity and efficiency will improve and you will save time and labor. 

The Z-Trimmer is designed for light duty trimming, and is equipped with a thermal circuit breaker. If the breaker trips 
while in operation, your electric motor is operating at a higher temperature than recommended. Use of the Z-Trimmer 
in heavy duty applications may create excessive draw from the electrical system for the machine on which the trimmer 
is mounted, resulting in incomplete charging of the machines battery. For optimum performance, alternating use of the 
Z-Trimmer and normal mowing is recommended.
