Starting up
3.1 Instruction
Instruction is required before the first start-up.

a specialist of your authorised Hako dealer.
This person will be notified immediately after delivery of the vehicle from
the factory and will contact you to make an instruction appointment.
3.2 Before start-up of the vehicle
Danger
•
Risk of accident! If the steering column is unlocked while driving, it can come unexpectedly out of
adjustment. You can then lose control over the vehicle.
•
Risk of accident! Adjust the driver's seat only when the vehicle is stationary. You will otherwise be
diverted from the traffic and could lose control over the vehicle by moving the seat. You could
cause an accident by this.
•
Risk of accident! A dirty, damaged seat belt or one stressed or changed in an accident may not
offer the intended protection. You could therefore suffer severe injuries or death in an accident.
Please check regularly that the seat belts are not damaged and not contaminated. Always have
damaged seat belts or those stressed in an accident renewed by an authorised workshop.
•
Risk of accident! Good viewing conditions contributing to traffic safety are guaranteed only if all
windows are free of ice, snow and condensation. Make yourself familiar with the correct operation
of the heating and ventilation system as well as de-moisturising/defrosting the windows. Maximum
heating power and fast thawing of the windows can be achieved only if the engine has reached its
operating temperature.
•
There is a risk of accidents when driving with open doors! The doors must remain closed when
driving on public roads and when working.
Warning
•
Check the vehicle for its correct condition and operating safety before using it. The vehicle must
not be used if it is not in order.

actuating elements as well as with their function. It is too late to do this during operation!

operation.
•
Sturdy and slip-proof shoes must be worn when working with the vehicle.
