The Zirocco-M50 has an A-weighed max sound power level of 96 dBA around the machine and 90 dBA at the operators’ position, at its max performance. The LWA is here not directly related to an environmental noise level as weighted average of the different work steps during machine operation.

TWA exposiure Operator Working hours Work exposure dB(A) (100% Machine performance level) TWA dose dB(A) NRR protection rating dBA reduction (NRR-7)/2 Requirement dB(A) In this table the LWA value is used in the calculation of the TWA dose as a “worst case”, although the operator normally would operate the machine at lower performance level because the marking equipment often is limiting the overall operation.
• To read and understand the operating section of the operating manual. • To use the required personal protective equipment, when working with the Zirocco-M50. • To read the section "Warning symbols and other labels on the machine" in this operating manual, and to follow the safety instructions represented by the warning symbols, when operating the machine.
Misuse The product Zirocco-M50 should not be used indoor, since the jet turbine is using diesel fuel and the exhaust emission could be toxic. As soon as the turbine engine is warming up or running the machine needs to be moved in order not to leave unintended hot spot marks on the ground.
WARNING Personal injury / mortal danger A usage situation of a technical nature or similar that may cause personal injury or mortal danger. CAUTION Damage to machine or accessories A usage situation of a technical nature or similar that may cause damage to the machine or its accessories.
• The Zirocco-M50 is equipped with a gas turbine which operates on standard diesel type EN590 mixed with 5% ATT turbine oil. The Zirocco-M50 does not use LPG, which makes its use possible also in populated areas. • Only hot air - no open flames (a requirement for operations many airports etc.) •...

Display “Page 1” 1) Operating symbol 2) Battery voltage 3) Fuel level 4) Pre-heater 5) “Run” and “Running” indicate that the machine is ready for operation 6) Cooling 7) Safety stop indicates red when the safety stop is enabled. 8) Start-up/Wait. Flashes when the turbine is heating up.
CAUTION Fuel Use Diesel EN 590 along with 5 % ATT Turbine oil (7000-80) in the mixing ratio 1 to 20. (20 litres of fuel to 1 litre of ATT Turbine oil). When utilizing US Gallons, the mixing ratio is 1 litre ATT Turbine Oil to 5 US Gallons of Diesel. In areas where low smoke emission is needed, then use odourless and smokeless petroleum (use Exxsol D 80 or Shellsol D70 petroleum corresponding to Diesel EN 590).
Before start up Set the adjusting lever to the correct working height: 1) Pull or push the lever. 2) Set the handlebar to the desired position. 3) Release the lever. Figure 1 Safety Stop Operating the machine 1) The safety wire is connected to a stop switch. The wire is attached to the operator during operation.
Power-Up 1) Press the green start button to turn the display on. Figure 4 2) To engage the turbine, turn the key switch to the right (to position 2) and hold for app. 5 seconds. The clutch will engage with a mechanical sound.

6) Once the machine has warmed up, the” Running” indication will indicate steady green (30-60 seconds). 7) The temperature can vary from app. 400-460 °C Figure 7 8) Press the button 2 to get on page 2 Figure 8 9) Press + to increase the airflow (button 4) or – to decrease the airflow (button 3).
Shut down and Cooling 1) Turn the key switch from position”1” to position ”0”. The Zirocco-M50 will immediately slow down to 0 % (idle), idle for 30 seconds, and then start a cooling program (will cool down until below app.
Re-fuelling 1) Refuel either when prompted or for preparation of the next utilisation of the Zirocco-M50. Premix turbine oil and fuel in a separate canister (plastic canisters are recommended). Refill by removing the Fuel Tank Cap. Avoid spilling of fuel by utilising e.g. a funnel. After refuelling ensure proper installing of the Fuel Tank Cap.
10 hours of operation or when worn out. 2) Switch off the machine before replacing the filter. Use only filter type ATT 5000-60. Then change the filter and turn the key to the left to reset the warning.
Air filter setup 1) The filter in position 1 is a spare filter and can be covered by the Spare Filter Cover P/N: 5000-390 to always have a new filter available 2) The filter in position 2 is to be replaced when worn out (app.

6) Pull out and remove the filter frame. 7) Remove the air filter. 8) Check the air filter(s) for dirt, penetration or any damage. Replace if worn out. 8) Check for air bubbles in the fuel hose. 9) Air out the system.
Turbine Module Box Ensure completion of the service check of the turbine module box after maximum 100 hours or once a year. ATT has the only authorised workshop for repair and service checks. Air filter Inspect the air filters daily. Replace the air filter(s) if they are soiled or blocked or in any way unserviceable.
12V Battery and Charging Standard battery (See specification in the section “Technical Data”). If the Zirocco-M50 is being shipped by air freight, then the 12V battery due to air safety regulations, will not be included. Then you must buy a standard 12V battery locally.
3) Install the new battery and battery brackets. Wheels The Zirocco-M50 wheels are subject to extensive heat and wear. It is recommended that they are replaced, as soon as they show signs of damage. New wheels and other spares and accessories can be ordered via our distributors (see more on our website: https://zirocco.dk/en/distributors...
3) Dismantle the swivel wheels on the Zirocco-M50 back end (Ø125 mm). Each wheel is installed with four nuts. Install the new wheels. Igniter Replacement Guide: Remove the cyclone, unlock the red machine cover and remove it to get access to the machine’s turbine box.

Find the white electric wire and pull gently on it to open the spring mechanism allowing you to lift the connector from the igniter. Next, unscrew the blue sealing nut by hand and gently pull of the fuel tube from the igniter. Next, unscrew the igniter by hand.
If the Zirocco-M50 is not utilised for more than three months, dismantle the battery and empty the machine’s fuel tank. Store the Zirocco-M50 in a place with low air humidity and do not expose to dust, dirt, rain, snow and vibrations. If possible, the Zirocco-M50 should be stored in the relevant packaging box from ATT.
