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.

Example I.D. Plate:

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 ame sources

away from the sweeper. Gasoline, LP gas and diesel

fuel are highly ammable. 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
