Safety
To avoid Loss-of-control, Tip-over, and Rollover
Loss-of-control, tip-over or rollover may cause death or serious injury. This machine has a high center of gravity and turf conditions affect
stability. Slopes are a major factor in loss-of-control, tip-over, and rollover accidents.
• Never shift gears while the machine is moving as this may cause a rapid slowdown or stop the front wheels causing loss-of -control or a forward tip over.
Instead, bring the machine to a complete stop before shifting gears.
• Study the terrain before beginning work and plan a safe operating pattern. If the area at issue will not accommodate a safe operating pattern, Do Not attempt
to drive the RS7200 in that area.
• Do Not operate on slopes or inclines where traction and stability are doubtful.
• Do Not ride on slopes exceeding 15 Degrees. Read Machine Safety Label and Safe, Balance Zone, sections for details on estimating 15 degree slopes before
starting or operating the RS7200.
• Never operate on wet slopes.
• Look for holes, ruts, rocks, and other hidden hazards in the work area before starting work. Uneven terrain can overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide
hazards.
• Do Not operate near drop-offs, ditches, or bodies of water.
• Keep a rm grip of the handlebars with both hands at all times.
• Slow down and lean into turns for better balance and to transfer your weight to the inside wheels to prevent loss-of-control, tip over, or rollover.
• Tires with excessively worn tire tread are dangerous on slopes or inclines. Replace tire(s) with less than 1/4” of tread remaining. Only use liquid lled tires
supplied by Turfex. Maintain tire pressure at 12 PSI. Higher pressures will cause the tires to lose traction and under inated tires will cause instability.
• Do Not attempt to climb over curbs and parking blocks while operating the RS7200 at a high speed as this may cause a forward tip-over.
• To help avoid Loss-of-control, tip over, and rollover, use extreme caution on inclines, and slopes and:
• Use 1st Gear to provide improved traction and a slower ground speed.
• Travel across the grade. Begin at the bottom of the slope and work your way up.
• Avoid traveling straight down a slope. When descending a slope, zigzag or slalom across the grade gradually downwards using the brakes to slow the
machine.
• Lean uphill at all times to provide better balance and to transfer weight to the uphill tires.
• Slow down and avoid sharp turns and sudden starts and stops.
• Reduce the amount of granular and liquid products carried.
• Apply rear brakes rst and then front brakes.
Operate the RS7200 as a walk-behind unit in situations where loss -of-control, tip-over, or rollover is possible.
When traveling up a slope, be aware that the drive tires have reduced traction and there is greater risk that the machine could tip backwards.
Recommendations for driving up an incline or slope:
• Lean forwards to provide better balance and to transfer more weight to the front drive wheels. Refer to the driver’s position illustrations in Driver’s Training
and Operation section of this Manual for details.
• Accelerate gently. Accelerate slowly. Accelerating too quickly may result in a loss of traction.
• Do Not make sharp or quick turns. Making sharp or quick turns may cause you to lose your balance and be thrown off the machine or cause a side rollover.
• In areas of poor traction, operate the machine as a walk behind unit.
• If you experience a loss of control while driving the machine on an upward slope, lower the handlebars as you step backwards off the operator’s platform and
apply the brakes. Once the brakes are applied, take corrective action.
• Backing down a slope is a hazardous maneuver which should be avoided. To avoid backing down a slope; stop the machine, apply the brakes, step off the
Driver’s platform, steer the front of the machine across the grade, and gradually engage the Throttle/Clutch. If backing down a slope is unavoidable (such as
when unloading the machine from a trailer), use extreme caution. Read Safety Manual Warning 13, Reverse Operation, for details on backing up.
When pointing downhill, the weight and traction is transferred to the front drive wheels. Avoid driving the machine at this angle as the machine
may tip over.
Recommendations for driving downhill:
• Lean backwards as you travel downhill to provide better balance for you and transfer more weight to the rear wheels. If necessary, extend your arms and
squat down backwards with arms extended to transfer more weight further to the rear.
• Do not change speed suddenly. Do Not accelerate. Decelerate gently by applying the rear brakes rst followed by the front brakes.
• Use extreme caution when turning. Do Not make sharp turns as you may lose your balance and/or be thrown from the machine or lose control. When making
turns, slow down and make gradual turns.
• Zigzag or slalom slowly and gradually downhill traveling across the grade using both brakes to slow your speed. The steeper the slope the more gradual the
slaloms should be between the switchbacks.
• Avoid any obstacles that could suddenly stop the front wheels causing a tip over.
• If you ever lose control while driving down a slope, let go of the handles and jump off to the rear, if necessary.
• Backing uphill is a risky maneuver which should be avoided. To avoid backing uphill; stop the machine, apply the brakes, step off the Driver’s platform, steer
the front of the machine across the grade, and gradually engage the Throttle. When backing uphill is unavoidable, use caution. Read Safety Manual Warning
“Reverse Operation”, for details on backing up.

Safety
To avoid Loss-of-control, Tip-over, and Rollover (con’t)
When pointing across an incline, slope or hill sideways, the weight distribution between the front drive wheels and the rear wheels is similar
to level ground. However, more weight is transferred to the lower wheels which may cause the machine to rollover towards the downhill side.
This is the preferred angle for driving on gentle slopes.
Recommendations for driving across a hillside:
• Lean uphill to provide better balance for you and transfer more weight to the uphill wheels.
• Do Not change speed suddenly.
• Do Not make sharp turns as you may lose your balance and be thrown off the machine or loose control. When making turns, slow down and make gradual
turns. The machine also has a tendency to rollover when performing this maneuver.
• Avoid making downhill turns as the machine will accelerate through the turn making it more difcult for you to keep your balance and control over the
machine so as to prevent rollover.
• Avoid any obstacles that could suddenly pitch the front uphill wheel upwards causing a rollover towards the downhill side.
• If you ever loose control while driving across a slope let go of the handles and jump off to the uphill side of the machine, if necessary.
Backing up across the grade is a maneuver which in should be avoided. To avoid backing up; stop the machine, apply the brakes, step off the
Driver’s platform, steer the front of the machine in the desired direction, and gradually engage the Throttle. When backing up is unavoidable, use
caution. Read Safety Manual Warning “Reverse Operation”, for details on backing up.
Transporting
Driving up and down ramps is hazardous. The risks include tipover, rollover, loss-of-control, and back-over.
Use extreme caution when driving the RS7200 onto and off of aTransport, (such as a vehicle, carrying rack, or trailer).
• When loading and unloading, park the Transport on level pavement well away from puddles, obstacles, and curbs that may cause the operator to lose his
footing or become entrapped. Allow adequate room for the ramps to be deployed and the machine and operator to come straight on or off the Transport
platform and ramps.
• To prevent a ramp from slipping out from under the machine, make sure the ramp is securely fastened to the Transport platform and the ramp and machine
wheels are properly aligned with each other.
• Never unload a RS7200 by shifting it into Neutral and allowing it to freewheel backwards down a ramp. Rather, the driver must start the RS7200 while on
the Transport platform, shift the engine into Reverse, and inch the machine down the ramp under power using the brakes as necessary. Read Safety Manual
Warning “Reverse Operation”, for required precautions while operating the RS-7200 in reverse.
• If there is not adequate standing room for the operator on the Transport platform, the machine should be started while the operator is standing on the ground.
• If an enclosed Transport is used, use extra caution starting and operating the RS7200 inside the enclosure.
Transporting the machine over the road can be hazardous. The risks include but not limited to trafc accidents, failure of Transport system, and
ejection of the machine from the Transport.
Transporting the RS7200 requires a heavy duty Transport capable of safely carrying a fully loaded RS7200 weighing 700 lbs plus the weight of all
materials carried on the transport.
• Follow other Transport manufacturer’s precautions and always use all safety devices provided.
• DO NOT overload or unbalance the Transport or hitch.
• Use only heavy duty ramps with a minimum width of 8.5 inches and an anti-slip surface capable of supporting 1000 lbs. or the combined weight of the
machine and driver whichever is greater. The ramp angle must be 15 degrees or less.
• To prevent the machine from being thrown from the transport, always secure the machine to the Transport’s platform. Use securing devices provided by the
manufacturer or securing devices each securing device or all securing devices together must have a minimum load rating of 1,400 lbs. Elastic straps and
similar devices are NOT to be used.
• Check Transport, ramps, hitch, and securing devices each time they are used.
• Check carefully for cracked welds or cracked parts, loose or missing hardware, excessive wear or damage, or missing or nonworking safety and securing
devices.
• When a carrying rack is used, check for damage caused by the rear edge dragging or bottoming out on the pavement. This can result in structural failure of
the rack, hitch and vehicle frame or hardware.
• Do Not use the Transport if it is not in good working condition. Make necessary repairs or replacements before using.
Check wheel Fasteners
If wheel fasteners are not tight, a serious accident may occur.
• Check wheel fastener tightness frequently during the rst 10 hours of operation.
• After loosening any wheel fasteners, frequently check their tightness for the next 10 hours of operation.

Calibration Disclaimer
It is the responsibilty of the person using this equipment to make sure that every type of material is properly calibrated to perform
as expected. This process should take place on a solid at surface away from drains and livestock areas in order to achieve a safe
and accurate reading for proper material distribution. Failure to do so may cause an over/under application that could damage
turf areas or give an ineffective pest control treatment. Any calibration charts contained in this manual are given as a reference
point only and should not be used as an absolute condition. Spending a few extra minutes to properly calibrate will not only save
on wasted materials and time but also protect turf and other vegetation. Below are several points to be aware of before operating
your spreader in the eld.
• . Flow rates of material can change for many reasons
1. Formualtions vary within the same brand or even between brands
2. Formulations vary between batches or dates of manufacture
3. Humidy can cause the material to clump and ow poorly
4. Poor spreader maintenance can cause ow changes
5. Slide stop has moved or calibrated to another type of material
6. Human error can cause rate miscalculation
• Items needed for calibriation
1. A way to catch the material for weighing
2. A device to measure distance
3. A scale to weigh your product
4. A stop watch or other means to measure time
! IMPORTANT PLEASE READ CALIBRATION DISCLAIMER BEFORE USE !
