These are the Original Instructions for the PowerBoss® Armadillo 6X & PowerBoss® AM7D-III machines.
This manual covers all standard Armadillo 6X & AM7D-III variations beginning, August 2014.
We believe this machine will provide excellent service for many years. Best results can be obtained if:
• The machine is operated with reasonable care.
• The machine is maintained regularly per the maintenance schedule provided in this User Manual.
• The machine is maintained with PowerBoss® supplied or equivalent parts.
All right side and left side references to the machine (except for engine) are determined by facing the direction
of forward travel. The front of the engine or engine fan faces the rear of the machine. Some hardware
considered to be common or locally available has been omitted from the parts section to make this manual
clear. Be sure to use equivalent hardware when replacement becomes necessary.
The Model and Serial Number of your machine is shown on the I.D. name plate. This information is needed
when contacting Technical Support or when ordering parts. The I.D. plate is mounted on the console of the
machine left of the operator and adjacent the main broom adjustment access door.
Parts may be ordered by phone, fax or email from any PowerBoss® parts and service center. Before
ordering parts or supplies, be sure to have your machine model number and serial number handy. For your
convenience Fill out the Machine Data block on the next page for future reference.

BASIC POWERBOSS® SAFETY
PowerBoss® sweepers should never be operated
unless:
1. The operator is trained and authorized to
operate the equipment and,
2. The equipment is free of malfunctions.
Malfunctioning equipment should be removed
from service.
DANGER
Keep cigarettes, matches and all other fl ame
sources away from the sweeper. Gasoline, LP
gas and diesel fuel are highly fl ammable. Lead
acid batteries are equally dangerous due to the
highly explosive hydrogen gas they emit.
WARNING
Before starting the engine, make sure that:
* You are securely seated in the operator’s seat.
* The parking brake is locked.
* The directional control pedal is in neutral.
* The throttle is in idle.
* Hydraulic controls are in the OFF position.
WARNING
During operation:
* Keep your hands and body clear of moving
parts, especially when the hopper or lift arms
are partially or fully raised.
* Make sure others in the area stay clear of the
equipment and moving parts.
* Never attempt to dump debris from a dock or
mezzanine. Dump from ground level only.
