(LIMITED) PRODUCT WARRANTY

PowerBoss, Inc. (hereafter known as PowerBoss) warrants that these PowerBoss machines will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of 24 months or 2,000 operating hours from date of installation, whichever comes first. Poly components are warranted for five (5) years unless used with a cleaning solution in excess of 130°F (54°C), which would void the solution and recovery tank warranty. Written notice of any claimed defect must be given to PowerBoss within the warranty period and within thirty (30) days after such defect is discovered. Liability under this warranty is limited to either replacing or repairing, at PowerBoss’s election, any part or parts deemed defective after examination by PowerBoss or an Authorized Service Representative.

For one hundred eighty (180) days from date of installation, PowerBoss will provide repair labor, at no charge, solely through an Authorized Service Representative. Thereafter, labor will be charged. Labor coverage is extended only to those items on which service was performed, and which failed as a result of defects in materials or workmanship. Normal preventative maintenance or adjustments, wearable parts, such as but not limited to flaps, filters, seals, points, plugs or similar items are not eligible for warranty coverage; parts or labor. Brushes are prorated against defects in materials or workmanship for twelve (12) months; hoses are warranted for six (6) months.

Travel is eligible for warranty consideration the first thirty (90) days after installation. The same provisions and exclusions apply to travel coverage as to labor and part eligibility.

This warranty does not extend to the PowerBoss machine, or its parts, that have been subject to misuse, accident or improper handling, installation, maintenance or application, nor does it extend to PowerBoss machine and/or parts which have been repaired or altered outside PowerBoss’s plant or the facility of Authorized Service Representative.

Only authorized PowerBoss replacement parts purchased from PowerBoss are eligible for warranty consideration and are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for the duration of the unit’s warranty or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer. (Exception being wearable parts, such as but not limited to flaps, filters, seals, points, plugs or similar items. These items are to be free of defects in materials and workmanship when received and are not eligible for additional warranty consideration.) Damage to the unit, or that incurred as a result of utilization of parts not authorized by or purchased from PowerBoss, is not eligible for warranty reimbursement; parts or labor.

THE WARRANTY SET FORTH HEREIN IS IN LIEU OF AND EXCLUDES ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND CUSTOMER WAIVES ANY OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY OR POWERBOSS ARISING IN TORT OR STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT, OR FOR LOSS OR USE, REVENUE OR PROFIT WITH RESPECT TO POWERBOSS MACHINE AND/OR PARTS FOR ANY LIABILITY OF CUSTOMER TO ANY THIRD PARTY, OR FOR OTHER DIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

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. ! The throttle should be in the RUN position during normal operation to ensure proper broom speed.

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.

On Optional and Deluxe models, the hand brake is engaged by lifting up on the lever. The parking brake operates the mechanical drum brakes on the front two wheels and is engaged by the brake pedal.

! Diesel units equipped with a handbrake is standard. ! Hydraulic brakes are optional and includes a

handbrake
