The Nexus NXT-90 Power Trowel is equipped with safety guards in accordance with North
American and International standards. The main safety ring protects the blades from
collisions with solid objects, but more importantly protects the operator from the blades.
The belt guard protects the operator from the main drive belt. The handle is equipped with
a “double-deadman” operator presence system as standard equipment. The use and
function of this system is covered in the next section.

90 safety devices have been tampered with, do not use the Power Trowel.
Immediately contact your sales representative to obtain replacement parts
or return the trowel to your dealer for repairs.
