IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ and UNDERSTAND all instructions and safety messages before operating this machine.
Follow the instructions given in this Owner’s Manual and the training given by your supervisor for the
safe operation of this machine. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or damage to the
machine or property.
GENERAL OPERATION SAFETY INFORMATION
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG or propane) is stored under pressure and must be handled in the
proper manner to be safe. Observe the following safety messages to get the best performance,
lowest emissions, and longest life out of your equipment.
The EPA has rated the PurePower by Aztec 603cc engine cleanest in the
industry for CO (carbon monoxide) emissions. (Source: https://www.epa.gov/compliance-and-fuel-economy-data/engine-certification-data#small-nrsi).
No smoking, no sparks, no flames near machine, engine or LPG tank. Do
not operate this machine in an environment with a potential ignition
source.
If you smell gas: immediately stop the unit, check for leaks, open
windows, don’t touch electrical switches, extinguish any open flames, and
contact a repair professional.
Never change or alter the propane controlequipment.It is preciselytuned
to power machinery with minimal levels of carbon monoxide. Altering the
control equipment could cause dangerous levels of engine emissions.
Effective January 1, 2016, all Aztec Products, Inc. machinery is shipped
with propane tank equipped with Overfill Protection Device (OPD). If you
have an older LPG cylinder that is overfilled, always vent outdoors, away
from closed areas where gas may accumulate, and away from any fire,
flame, or spark-producing device. Use a screwdriver to vent excess propane, which escapes as a
white mist until at proper level in tank. Propane will vent clear when correct tank level has been
achieved.
Because CO is always a byproduct of internal combustion engines, it is
important to know the symptoms of CO exposure, which may include
drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, confusion, collapse, loss of
consciousness and muscle weakness. If such symptoms occur during
operation with this machine, immediately shut off the machine and go outside for fresh air. Have a
qualified service technician test themachine forCO emissions before using again. Call for emergency
medical attention and DO NOT operate this machine or other propane powered equipment until
cleared by a physician. For more info on CO exposure effects, see
http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/carbon-monoxide/basics/symptoms/con-20025444.

Operate only in well ventilated areas. Buildings must be provided with:
A. A continuous mechanical ventilation that removes the products of combustion to the outdoors of not less than 300
CFM for each 10,000 BTUH or fraction thereof; or
B. Natural ventilation of not less than 300 CFM for each 10,000 BTUH input or fraction thereof, based on a maximum
of one-quarter air exchange per hour for the net building volume.
Although this machinery utilizes a catalytic muffler to treat and minimize all engine emissions,
the exhaust may still contain trace amounts of carbon monoxide gas and chemicals known in the state of California tocause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Never let an untrained or irresponsible person operate the machine. They may hurt themselves
and/or damage the floor or other property.
Always check oil before attempting to start engine. Low oil may result in serious and expensive
engine damage.
Never complete theconnection of the propane tank to themachine by using a tool; always tighten
and loosen by hand. Use of tools to tighten or loosen tank connection may result in damage to tank valve and insecure
connection. Listen for the rush of fuel to the lock-out device when you open the tank valve. If you hear this, it will indicate
that a good connection has been made at the tank.
Muffler is HOT. Keep all heat sensitive objects away from the exhaust system during and after
operation. Damage can occur to the machine, furniture, buildings and/or personal injury.
Do not leave this machine unattended while the engine is running. Damage to floor surface or
other property may occur and fumes may accumulate.
Keep machine moving to avoid floor damage. Do not operate machine in a stationery spot for
more than a few seconds. Machine is designed to be moved continuously forward at a measured pace. Stationary operation
will result in damage to floor surface.
When the LPG tank is attached to the machine and not running, the tank valve must be in closed
position.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY INFORMATION
Before attempting any service or maintenance, the engine switch must be
in the OFF position and the propane tank valve must be in CLOSED position.
Because of the extended nose on the Edgewinder, which is designed to reach
under racks, the machine should never be tilted back from the operator’s position. Tilting the
machine back will result in a very unstable and dangerous situation. In order to service or clean the
Edgewinder, while standing in operator’s position, gently tilt and lay down the machine on its RIGHT
side.
DO NOT tip machine on its LEFT side to avoid damage to the engine.
The manufacturer’s warranty will be voided if the machine is not maintained in
accordance with the recommended maintenance instructions within this Owner’s Manual, and the
engine manufacturer’s recommended maintenance procedures. Failure to do so may cause
damage to the machine, equipment, furniture, buildings, and/or personal injury.
An abbreviated, quick reference schedule of the manufacturer’s suggested
maintenance is on the underside of the operating handle. This abbreviated schedule is for quick
reference only and is not intended to replace the full maintenance schedule in the Owner’s Manual.
A maintenance record must be kept, indicating all dates of service, hours on
engine at time of service, and service performed in order to maintain manufacturer’s warranty
coverage. Perfect record keeping does not guarantee warranty coverage if the damage to the
machine is non-warrantable. See warranty coverage policy details at the end of this Owner’s
Manual. The maintenance record must be kept with the machine and transferred to the new owner
if resold.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that will promote
rust and corrosion.
With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover a properly cooled down engine to keep out dust. A
hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt some materials. Do not use sheet plastic as a
dust cover. A nonporous cover will trap moisture around the engine, promoting rust and corrosion.
If equipped with a battery, recharge the battery once a month while the engine is in storage. This
will help extend the service life of the battery.

BEFORE OPERATION CHECKLIST
For your safety, to ensure compliance with environmental regulations, and to maximize the service
life of your equipment, it is very important to take a few minutes before you operate this machine to
check its condition. Be sure to take care of any problem you find, or have your service dealer correct
it before you operate this machine.
Improperly maintaining this machine and its engine, or failure to correct a
problem before operation, may cause a malfunction in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always perform a pre-operation inspection before each use, and correct any problem.
Before beginning your pre-operation checklist, the machine and engine must be on a level surface,
with the engine switch in the OFF position, and the propane tank valve is in the CLOSED position.
Always check the following items before you start the engine:
A. READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL SAFETY MESSAGES
Carefully read and understand all SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on pgs 3-8.
B. CHECK THE GENERAL CONDITION OF THE MACHINE
1.) Look around and underneath the machine and engine for signs of oil leaks.
2.) Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the muffler and recoil starter.
3.) Look for signs of damage.
4.) Check that all shields and covers are in place, and all nuts, bolts and screws are tightened.
C. CHECK THE ENGINE
1.) Check the engine oil level and filters. Running the engine with a low oil level can cause
engine damage. Your first oil change should be after the first 5 hours of use.
2.) If equipped, the “Oil Alert” buzzer will warn you when the engine oil needs to be added to
the crankcase. If the buzzer sounds, stop the engine and add oil.
3.) Check the air filter element (see pg 20). A dirty air filter element will restrict air flow to the
carburetor, reducing engine performance.
D. CHECK THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Review the maintenance log that should always be kept with the machine. Perform any
maintenance necessary before proceeding. All machines are equipped with a multi-function
maintenance meter. The functions include the following: hour meter, service alert and
tachometer. (See ENGINE MAINTENANCE METER instructions on pg 22).

E. CHECK THE ENGINE OIL
Make sure the machine is level when checking the oil. Always take two (2) readings of the
dipstick before adding oil. Ifthe oil level is below the full mark, add just enough oilto the engine
to bring the oil level up to the full mark. Never over fill. Check for foreign material on the
dipstick.
F. CHECK THE PROPANE/LPG TANK AND LINES
1.) Every tank has been pressure and leak tested. However, every time a tank is filled and/or
connected to the machine it should be soap tested. All LPG lines must be pressurized and
every inch of line and connections must be sprayed. If you find a leak, make the proper
repairs before operating the machine.
2.) Never overfill the LPG tank. The LPG tank is designed to hold a maximum of 20 pounds
of propane. Make sure to weigh the tank as it is being filled. The gross weight of a full tank
should not exceed 48 pounds. If, while operating the machine, you notice frost forming on
the LPG lines or the regulator, your tank has been over filled. If you continue to operate
the machine in this condition, damage will occur. The excess propane in the tank must be
removed before normal operations resume. The bleeding of a propane tank must be done
in a safe manner; refer to the SAFETY INFORMATION on pgs 3-8. In some cases, the
regulator must defrost before restarting the engine.
3.) To connect the high pressure hose to the LPG tank, make sure the couplers are in line
and screwed together, hand tight. If this is not done properly, fuel will not pass through to
the regulator. Never complete the connection of the tanks to the machine by using a tool;
refer to the SAFETY INFORMATION on pgs 3-8.

PAPER AIR FILTER ELEMENT: Tap the
filter element several times on a hard surface
to remove dirt, or blow compressed air (not exceeding 207 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm2,
30 psi) through the filter element from the inside. Never try to brush off dirt;
brushing will force dirt into the fibers.
FOAM AIR FILTER ELEMENT: Clean in warm, soapy water, rinse, and allow
to dry thoroughly. Or clean in nonflammable solvent and allow to dry. Dip the
filter element in clean engine oil, then squeeze out all excess oil. The engine
will smoke when started if too much oil is left in the foam.
6.) Wipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner base and cover, using a moist rag. Be
careful to prevent dirt from entering the air duct that leads to the carburetor.
7.) Place the foam air filter element over the paper element, and reinstall the assembled
air filter.
8.) Install the air cleaner cover, and tighten the wing nut securely.
