Maintenance information
Properly completed vehicle mainte-
nance is an important protective
measure for preventing accidents.
• The maintenance work and mainte-
nance intervals prescribed in the
operating manual must be adhered
to.
• Operating personnel must complete
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 engine and mo-
tors, remove the key from the key
switch and pull out the battery plug.
This is particularly important in re-
spect of work on the electrical sy-
stem!
• 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 di-
sassembled and installed by service
personnel.
• Suitable tools must be used for
cleaning and maintenance work.
• Spare parts must comply with the mi-
nimum technical requirements stipu-
lated by the manufacturer! This is
ensured by the use of original spare
parts.
• When working in the area of the rai-
sed seat console, it must be pivoted
up fully to prevent it accidentally clo-
sing or suddenly slamming shut.
• It is not permitted to clean the vehicle
with a pressure washer or steam bla-

• 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 vehicle 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 reaso-
nable intervals (we recommend at
least one a year), particularly with re-
gard to protective equipment and
locks and following modifications or
repair.
• Only start the vehicle up when all the
safety equipment has been installed,
is functional and brought to its pro-
tecting position.
• The vehicle has been set up for ope-
ration using low-maintenance trough
batteries. If other battery types are to
be used, the vehicle must be adju-
sted for them at an authorized Hako
service center.
• Observe the information in the ope-
rating manual provided by the batte-
ry manufacturer. It must be available
to operating and maintenance per-
sonnel 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
them. The full terms of warranty 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 char-
ging process. The cable must not rub

charger if the insulation is damaged.
