GENERAL OPERATION SAFETY INFORMATION
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG or propane) is stored under pressure and must be handled in the
proper mannerto be safe. Observe the following safety messages toget 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).
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 testthe machinefor CO 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.
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 anyopen flames,and
contact a repair professional.
Never change or alter the propane control equipment. It is precisely tuned
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. Propane will vent clear when correct tank level has been achieved.
All Aztec propane powered machines are
designed specifically for use with a 20 lb
(5 gallon) vertical vapor withdrawal
propane cylinder. Use of a different
configuration cylinder or liquid withdrawal
cylinder is dangerous and could cause fire or explosion, and will void
the warranty.

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.
Avoid use in areas with floor obstruction such as thresholds and floor outlet
boxes. Avoid use in areas with loose debris or small objects that may become caught in the rotating
pad.
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 3-9.
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.
5.) Address all of the above issues before proceeding.
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 8 hours of use.
2.) Check the air filter element (see pg 32). 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 must 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 19).

LOWRIDER OWNER’S MANUAL PAGE 11
01-2018
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. If the oillevel is belowthe full mark, add just enough oil tothe 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 GENERAL OPERATION SAFETY INFORMATION on pgs
3-9. 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 GENERAL OPERATION SAFETY INFORMATION on pgs 3-9.
G. INSTALL FRESH PADS OR BRUSHES
1.) Never tilt back machine while engine isrunning. Turn off engineand shut off propanetank.
Do not tilt machine on its side; damage can occur to the machine, furniture, buildings
and/or personal injury. Machine should only be tipped back to transport or for service, if
properly turned OFF, in a safe environment and positioned on a flat surface.
2.) To install a fresh pad, lean the machine back and safely secure. Unscrew and remove the
pad-centering ring. Remove the old pad and center the new pad onto the pad driver.
Reinstall the pad-centering ring. Never “flip” a pad.
Keep the pad with the same side down throughout the life of the pad. Even after a pad is
cleaned, you can tell the down side by the centering ring indentation. This practice will
increase the pad life and help maintain a properly functioning pad driver.

Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However, we cannot warn you of every
conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not
you should perform a given task.
Consistent maintenance is essential for safe, economical and trouble-free operation. It will also help
reduce pollution.
Follow the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE on pg 22. Remember that this schedule is based on the
assumption that your machine will be used for its designed purpose. Sustained high-load or high-
temperature operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, will require more frequent
service.
Failure to following maintenance instructions andprecautions can cause you
to be seriously hurt or killed. Always follow the procedures and precautions in this Owner’s Manual
and the Engine Manufacturer’s Manual.
Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before operation, can
cause a malfunction in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Always follow the inspection and
maintenance recommendations and schedules in this Owner’s Manual.
To properly care for and maintain your machine and its engine, follow the recommended engine
maintenance schedule, routine inspection procedures and simple maintenance procedures using
basic hand tools. Other service tasks that are more difficult, or require special tools, are best handled
by professionals and are normally performed by an authorized technician or other qualified mechanic.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions. If you operate your engine under
severe conditions, such as sustained high-load or high temperature operation, or use in unusually
wet or dusty conditions, consult an authorized service center for recommendations applicable to your
individual needs and use.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be performed
by an engine repair establishment or individual, using parts that are “certified” to EPA standards.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE METER
This multi-function meter acts as a preventive maintenance tool, which benefits you with increased
fuel economy, less down-time and longer engine life.
The meter displays are:
•Hour Meter: Displays total run hours when machine is off.
