Operating information
• Before starting the vehicle up for the
first time, the battery to be used must
be fully charged, properly, by imple-
menting the initial battery charge
routine. Please pay attention to the
operating manual provided with the
charging unit as well as the manual
from the battery manufacturer. Pow-
erBoss assumes no liability for dam-
age to the battery caused by a fault
when the battery is charged for the
first time.
• Before starting the vehicle up, al-
ways check it is in a proper condition
and that it is safe to drive and oper-
ate. Clear up any faults and defects
immediately! Never operate the vehi-
cle without functional safety equip-
ment.
• Warning: Do not use the vehicle
without a protective roof structure
(refer to “Accessories”, “Cab safety
roof”) in areas in which the driver is
at risk of being hit by falling objects
(e.g. warehouses). Contact the trade
association responsible for you as to
whether obligations exist in this re-
spect.
• The scrubber drier must be subject-
ed to an inspection in respect of its
operationally safe condition at least
once a year by an authorized techni-
cal expert. The results of the inspec-
tion must be documented in writing
and kept safe at least until the next
inspection.
• Floor cleaning machines may only
be operated by suitable personnel
who have been trained to operate
the equipment, have proven their ca-
pability to operate the vehicle to the
contractor or person appointed by
him and have been explicitly
charged by him to operate the vehi-
cle.
• Before starting work, operating per-
sonnel must be fully familiar with all
adjustment, operating and control el-
ements as well as their respective
function! It is too late to do this when
the vehicle is actually in operation!
• The warning labels attached to the
scrubber drier provide important in-
formation concerning safe operation.
• Wet floors are a potential risk for slip-
ping! Ensure to provide the corre-
sponding information and warning
signs.
• If the floor is excessively wet, check
the vehicle for leaks and that the
sealing strips are in a good condi-
tion. If the sealing strips are dam-
aged, change them immediately.
• Only use cleaning agents suitable for
the vendor (non-foaming) and ob-
serve all the use, disposal and warn-
ing information provided by the
cleaning agent manufacturer.
• It is forbidden to use the vehicle in
potentially explosive atmospheres.
• The vehicle is not suitable for clear-
ing up health-hazardous, inflamma-
ble or explosive fluids or dusts and
substances with similar properties.
• Ride-on equipment may only be set
into motion from the seat (seat con-
tact switch).
• The seat contact switch must never
be bypassed or the function immobi-
lized in any way (e.g. by placing a
heavy load on the seat).
• It is forbidden to transport people on
the vehicle!
• Always wear heavy duty, non-slip
footwear when working with the vehi-
cle.
• Start driving immediately after
switching on the brush head drive
