LIMITED WARRANTY and LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Allen Engineering Corporation (“Allen”) warrants its products to be free of defects in material or workmanship for the following
periods:
A. New Machines and Parts............................................................................................One Year
Warranty period begins on first day of use by End User. This first day of use is established by the date of a completed Allen
Warranty Card or a Bill of Sale to the End User. All warranty is based on the following limited warranty terms and conditions,
including the disclaimer of implied warranties and consequential damages.
1. Allen’s obligation and liability under this warranty is limited to repairing or replacing parts if, after Allen’s inspection, there is
determined to be a defect in material or workmanship. Allen reserves the choice to repair or replace.
2. If Allen chooses to replace the part, it will be at no cost to the customer and will be made available to the Allen Distributor,
Dealer, or Rental Center from whom the End User purchased the product.
3. Replacement or repair parts, installed in the product, are warranted only for the remainder of warranty period of the product
as though they were the original parts.
4. Allen does not warranty engines. Engine warranty claims should be made directly to an authorized factory service center
for the particular engine manufacturer.
5. Allen’s warranty does not cover the normal maintenance of products or its components (such as engine tune-ups and oil &
filter changes). The warranty also does not cover normal wear and tear items (such as belts and consumables).
6. Allen’s warranty will be void if it is determined that the defect resulted from operator abuse, failure to perform normal main-
tenance on the product, modification to product, alterations or repairs made to the product without the written approval of
Allen. Allen specifically excludes from warranty any damage to any trowels resulting from an impact to the rotors.
7. Impact damage is not covered under the Allen Gear Box warranty.
8. Allen will pay shop labor on warranty items at the Allen Shop Labor Rate in existence on the date of the warranty claim.
An Allen Labor Chart will determine the time allowed to complete a repair and will govern the shop labor hours that will be
allowed.
9. Allen will pay freight on warranty replacement parts at worldwide standard ground rates. No warranty replacement parts
will be shipped air freight at the expense of Allen. Allen only pays outbound freight charges when sending warranty replace-
ment parts to the customer via ground service. Allen does not pay any inbound freight. However, if Allen determines this to be
a warranted item, only then will Allen reimburse the customer for inbound freight at standard ground rates.
10. ALLEN ENGINEERING CORPORATION’S WARRANTY POLICY WILL NOT COVER THE FOLLOWING: TAXES;
SHOP SUPPLIES; ENVIRONMENTAL SURCHARGES; AIR FREIGHT; TRAVEL TIME; LOSS OF TIME; INCONVENIENCE;
LOSS OF RENTAL REVENUE; RENTAL COSTS OF EQUIPMENT USED TO REPLACE THE PRODUCT BEING REPAIRED;

TIES FOR DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE OR DELAY.

WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS. THERE ARE NO OTHER
WARRANTIES THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION ON THIS DOCUMENT.

The Allen AT-16 Track Drive Power Buggies, are intended for the transportation of concrete and ma-
terial handling. The Track Buggy is equipped with a low dump height which provides clearance and
enables the operator to maneuver over any form height. In addition the Track Buggy has a unique tub
design that reduces concrete splatter outside the polyethylene tub (bucket).
A low center of gravity has been added into the Track Buggy’s design which will provide safety when
maneuvering the buggy in tight areas. A 6-gallon fuel tank allows for extended uninterrupted use. Maxi-
mum speed of the Track Buggy is rated at 6 MPH.
All Track Buggy operators must have training instructions before operating the buggy. For your safety,
warnings are on the buggy and in this manual. Failure to obey these warning can cause severe injury
or even death.
Understand the operation and features of the Track Buggy and what conditions it will be operated in.
Know the rated load capacity, speed range, braking and steering characteristics, turning radius and
operating clearances. Remember that the rain, snow, ice, loose gravel, soft ground, etc., can change
the operating characteristics and capabilities of the Track Buggy.
Inspect the surface over which you will travel. Look for holes, drop offs and obstacles. Look for rough
spots. Look for weak spots on docks, ramps or floor. Look for oil spills, wet spots and slippery surfaces.
Look for soft soil, deep mud and standing water. Watch for anything that might make you lose control or
cause the buggy to tip over.
If, during pre-operation inspection or operation, the buggy is found to be in need of repair or in any way
unsafe, or contributes to an unsafe condition to the operator, the matter shall be reported immediately
to the designated authority, and the buggy shall not be operated until it has been restored to proper
operating condition. DO NOT make repairs or adjustments unless specifically authorized to do so.
