Changing Pneumatic Tires

PowerBoss, Inc. recommends that you have 

these tires changed by a professional tire 

dealer. (They are to be inflated to 110 psi.)

MISCELLANEOUS ADJUSTMENTS
Anti-Static Chain Adjustment

Each machine is equipped with an anti-static 

chain bolted to the back wall of the broom 

chamber. This should remain in contact with 

the floor at all times. Inspect the chain every 

200 operating hours. Replace if at least one link 

does not drag the surface of the floor.

Latch and Hinge Maintenance

Latches and hinges should be inspected after 

every 500 hours of use. Retighten and oil if 

necessary.

Cables

Inspect all cables for wear every 500 hours.
