PREFACE

This is the User Manual for the PowerBoss® Atlas Rider Sweeper.

This manual covers all Standard Atlas machine variations beginning May 2015.

We believe this machine will provide excellent service for many years.

However, the best results will 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 left side 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 left side wall of the operator seating area.

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 functioning correctly.

Malfunctioning equipment should be removed from service.

DANGER

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.

WARNING

Do not operate an LPG powered sweeper when any component in the fuel system is malfunctioning or leaking.

WARNING

Before starting the engine, make sure that:

* You have read and understand the User Manual.

* You are securely seated in the operator’s seat.

* The parking brake is engaged.

* 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.



Page 21

WARNING

When leaving the sweeper unattended:

* Place the controls in the OFF position.

* Set the parking brake.

* Shut off the engine.

* Remove the key.

WARNING

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.


WARNING

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.

Page 22



MACHINE OPERATION

WARNING

Replace any defective safety components before operating the sweeper.

CAUTION

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.

CAUTION

Travel slowly on grades.

CAUTION

Place a block or chock behind the wheels when parking on inclines.

CAUTION

Use special care when traveling on wet surfaces.

CAUTION

Observe all proper procedures for operation and maintenance of the unit, as outlined in this manual.

CAUTION

Remain alert at all times to people and equipment in and around your area of operation.

ATTENTION!

Never push or tow a machine faster than 6 mph.
