the applicable safety and health re-
quirements stipulated in the EU di-
rectives with regard to its planning,
constructional design and final con-
struction as introduced by us onto

ded in this operating manual, all le-
gally applicable health and safety

observe all the information during
work.
• The vehicle may only be operated,
maintained and repaired by persons
trained by Hako or authorized to do
so by Hako.

the information regarding safety.
Technical expertise is the key to pre-
venting errors when operating the

operation.
• The operating manual must always
be kept at the operating location of
the vehicle and, as a result, should
kept in a safe place on the vehicle.
• If the equipment is sold or rented out,
these documents should be transfer-

equipment provide important infor-
mation concerning safe operation.
Labels which are illegible or missing
must be replaced.

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

assumes no liability for damage to
the battery caused by a fault when
the battery is charged for the first ti-
me.

hout a protective roof structure (refer

sociation responsible for you as to
whether obligations exist in this re-
spect.
