Safety Information
the necessary daily and weekly
maintenance work. All other mainte-
nance work must be completed at
your nearest authorized Hako ser-
vice center.
• Before starting any cleaning and
maintenance work or replacing
parts, switch off the motors, remove
the key from the key switch and pull
out the battery plug. This is particu-
larly important in respect of work on
the electrical system!
• Before working on the brushes,
switch off the scrubbing unit, set the
key switch to position 0 and remove
the key.
• The scrubbing unit may only be dis-
assembled and installed by service
personnel.
• Suitable tools must be used for
cleaning and maintenance work.
• Spare parts must comply with the
minimum technical requirements
stipulated by the manufacturer! This
is ensured by the use of original
spare parts.
• When working in the area of the
raised seat console, it must be pivot-
ed up fully to prevent it accidentally
closing or suddenly slamming shut.
• It is not permitted to clean the vehicle
with a pressure washer or steam
blaster.
• Clean the recovery tank regularly to
protect it from the accumulation of
dirt, viruses, bacteria, etc.
• It is not permitted to use aggressive
and corrosive cleaning agents.
• Allow the machine to dry after being
cleaned, e.g. over the weekend.
• The vehicle must be checked by a
recognized technical expert in re-
spect of operational safety at rea-
sonable intervals (we recommend at
least once a year), particularly with
regard to protective equipment and
locks and following modifications or
repair.
• Only start the machine up when all
the safety equipment has been in-
stalled, is functional and brought to
its protecting position.
• The vehicle has been set up for op-
eration using low-maintenance
trough batteries. If other battery
types are to be used, the vehicle
must be adjusted for them by an au-
thorized Hako service center.
• Observe the information in the oper-
ating manual provided by the battery
manufacturer. These must be avail-
able to operating and maintenance
personnel at all times.
• Batteries may only be handled and
changed by properly skilled mainte-
nance personnel.
• When installing the trough battery,
use appropriate lifting gear.
• Only use the batteries prescribed by
us and original chargers to charge
the battery. The full terms of warran-
ty can only be accepted when these
units are used.
• Pay attention that the insulation on
the charger is not initially damaged
and not damaged during the charg-
ing process. The cable must not rub
against anything. Do not use the
charger if the insulation is damaged.
• Always wear appropriate protective
clothing when handling the battery
(e.g. protective gloves, finger stalls,
protective goggles).
• The seat console must be pivoted
open during the battery charging
process to prevent the development
of explosive oxyhydrogen!
• Never leave the batteries in a dis-
charged state but recharge them as
soon as possible.
