1. Keep cigarettes, matches and all other flame sources
away from the sweeper. Gasoline, LP gas and diesel
fuel are highly flammable. Lead acid batteries are
equally dangerous due to the highly explosive
hydrogen gas they emit.
1. 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.
2. During operation:
٭
Keep your hands and body clear of moving parts,
expecially 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.
3. When leaving the sweeper unattended:
٭
Place the controls in the OFF position.
٭
Set the parking brake.
٭
Shut off the engine.
Operation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting
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 malfuntions. Malfunctioning equipment
should be removed from service.

4. During cleaning and maintenance:
٭
Always stop the engine and set the parking brake
before servicing.
٭
Never use detergents or cleansers that are flammable
or combustible.
٭
Never inflate a pneumatic tire without using a safety
cage.
٭
Do not attempt any impeller adjustment unless you have
shut off the engine. Never place your hands near
the intake hoses or inlet when the engine is running.
٭
Always engage the safety arm before servicing the
hopper. Do not rely on the hydraulic cylinder to
keep the hopper raised.
٭
Never test for hydraulic hose leaks using your hand or
any other part of your body. High pressure leaks can be
very dangerous and should only be checked using a piece
or paper.
5. When servicing or repairing the fuel system:
٭
Work in a properly ventilated area, do not smoke or
allow an open flame near the fuel system.
٭
Never bypass safety components unless you are testing
them.
٭
Never bypass the fuel filter lock, except when testing
them (and always reconnect them after testing).
٭
Wear gloves to disconnect the tank coupling.
6. Do not operate an LPG powered sweeper when any
component in the fuel system is malfunctioning or leaking.
7. Replace any defective safety components before operating
the sweeper.
1. Do not drive with the hopper in the raised position except
the few feet necessary to position the hopper over the
dumpster or receptacle. Driving with the hopper raised
reduces visibility and creates conditions for striking over-
head objects, throwing the machine off-balance and other
hazards.

maintenance of the sweeper, as outlined in this manual.
6. Remain alert at all times to people and equipment in and
around your area of operation.
1. Do not operate the #2 RTR lever before the #1 light
illuminates.
2. Never push or tow a machine faster than 6 mph.

The machine has a four position key switch used to turn the machine’s
electric power on and off.
To start gasoline powered machines, turn the key clockwise to the Start
position When the engine starts, release the key. To stop the engine, turn
the key to OFF.
To start diesel engines, turn the ignition key counterclockwise to the Glow
Plug warming position for 20 seconds. After 20 seconds turn ignition key
clockwise to the Start position. When engine starts release
key.
If the engine does not start after 10 seconds, release the key,
wait 1 minute and repeat the procedure.
The horn is activated by pressing the horn button located on the right side
of the operator.
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
The Voltmeter used on gas & LP units or Amp Gauge used on diesel
units indicates the charging current which is being sent to the battery by
the alternator. It also indicates a drop in voltage when the alternator is not
charging.
The hour meter records the number of hours the machine has been oper-
ated, providing a helpful guide for performing routine maintenance tasks.
The engine oil pressure gauge ranges from 0 psi to 60 psi. A reading be-
low 7 psi indicates problems which may result in damage to the engine.
The engine coolant temperature gauge registers the temperature of the
engine coolant. Temperatures above 220°F indicate an overheating en-
gine.

THROTTLE
DIRECTIONAL
CONTROL PEDAL
PARKING BRAKE
The throttle adjusts the engine speed from idle to the operating
speed.
• The throttle should be in the IDLE position when starting the
engine and immediately before shutdown.
• Full throttle position should be used during operation to en-
sure proper broom speed and dust control.
The directional control pedal controls the speed and direction of
the machine. It is also used for slowing the machine or stopping.
• To propel the machine forward, apply pressure to the front of
the pedal, increasing pressure to increase speed.
• To propel the machine backward, apply pressure to the rear of
the pedal.
• To slow or stop the machine, move the foot pedal into neutral.
• For emergency stops, move the foot pedal past neutral and
into the opposite position.
Use for emergency stops only! Constant use of this braking
method may result in damage to the drive components.
The sweeper is equipped with a speed limiter. A stop is mounted
under the directional control pedal and can be raised to reduce the
maximum speed.
The hydraulic drum brakes on the two front wheels are operated
by pressing on the brake pedal. The parking brake is cable acti-
vated. To engage the parking brake pull upward on the hand
brake lever located on the left side of the front wall of the opera-
tor’s compartment.

The broom control lever activates the brooms. (“Side Broom
OFF” position activates the main broom only.)
The main broom and side broom may be lowered independ-
ently.
The “OFF” position is achieved by placing the broom control
lever in the center of the slot. Both broom motors (main &
side) are de-activated by taking this action.
The main broom handle to the immediate left of the driver raises
and lowers the main broom. For normal sweeping, position the
handle at the LOWER position on the handle slot.
• For extremely uneven floor, position the handle at the
FLOAT position on the handle slot.
Extensive use of the FLOAT position reduces broom life.
• When not sweeping, position and lock the handle to the
RAISE position on the handle slot.
The side broom handle to the immediate left of the driver raises
and lowers the side broom.
• When not sweeping, the side broom should remain in the
RAISE position.
• To lower the side broom, position the handle to the LOWER
position in the handle slot.

ROTARY TRASH
RELOCATOR
(RTR™)
This button is used to activate the filter shakers prior to dumping
or as needed during sweeping operation. It is located to the left
hand side of the instrument panel.
To shake the filter:
1. Bring the machine to a complete stop.
2. Place the broom control lever in the OFF position.
3. Press and hold the filter shaker button for 20 to 30 seconds.
4. Place the broom control lever in the ON position and resume
sweeping.
Do not leave the hopper in the RAISE position for an extended
period of time.
The two far left levers on the front of the control panel are used to
raise the hopper to any height up to 60” (1.52 m) and dump it.
• To raise the hopper, pull back Lever 1 to the RAISE position
and hold until the hopper raises to the proper height for the
dumpster or container.
• To empty debris, pull back Lever 2 to the DUMP position to
rotate the hopper forward and empty the debris.
• To rotate the hopper back, push Lever 2 forward to the
RETURN position until the hopper rotates and stops.
• To lower the hopper, push Lever 1 forward to the LOWER
position until the hopper stops.
Rotary Trash Relocator (RTR™) is a standard feature on high-
dump models. Its purpose is to increase the holding capacity of
the debris hopper to make dumping the hopper necessary less fre-
quently.
