Suction turbines (suction)
(Fig. 13/3)
The two suction turbines are located on
the rear panel of the solution tank and
can be accessed after opening the rear
doors. The suction turbines are
switched on and off automatically when
lowering and raising the squeegee, re-
spectively. A float switch in the recovery
tank switches the suction turbine off au-
tomatically on reaching the maximum
fill height.
3.1.4
Solution tank
(Fig. 13/2)
The solution tank is located behind the
driver's seat, on the right-hand side
(when facing the front). It has a capacity
of approx. 174 liters. Pivot the gray tank
cap open and lock to fill. Fill water, max.
50 °C, and add the cleaning agent in ac-
cordance with the manufacturer's in-
structions. Pivot the tank cap back
down.
Only use cleaning agents (non-
foaming) suitable for the vehi-
cle's vendor.
We recommend using our clean and
care products which are specially bal-
anced for the Hakomatic B 1050 W.
These products meet the requirements
stipulated in the washing and cleaning
agent directive (WRMG - Wasch- und
Reinigungsmittelgesetzes). Observe
the correct dosage of the cleaning
agent. The correct dosage helps to re-
duce costs and protect the environ-
ment. The development of excessive
foam impairs the machine's function. It
indicates overdosage of the cleaning
agent; components of the cleaning
agent which are fed back to the waste
water cause foaming. Information on
dosage is provided on the cleaning
agent container. Use the manufactur-
er's information as an initial guideline.
Practical experience will ensure that
you quickly find out which is the right
cleaning agent and the optimum dos-
age to suit your needs. The solution
feed to the brushes is automatically
opened when the scrubbing program is
activated. If necessary, the feed can be
stopped manually by means of the ball
cock.
Operating times with one tankful:
• at 2 l/min. approx. 87 minutes
• at 4 l/min. approx. 43 minutes
• at 7 l/min. approx. 24 minutes
3.1.5 Recovery tank
(Fig. 13/1)
The recovery tank is located behind the
driver's seat, on the left-hand side
(when facing the front). It has a capacity
of approx. 174 liters. The waste water is
fed to the recovery tank via the squee-
gee by means of a vacuum. A float
switch at the top of the recovery tank
switches the suction turbine off auto-
matically as soon as the maximum tank
fill level is reached. In this case, the
control lamp (Fig. 15/2) on the left oper-
ating panel lights up. An acoustic signal
is also issued. A vacuuming tool (refer
to Section 4), which can be connected
to the vehicle, is optionally available
with which to clean and vacuum up wa-
ter from areas difficult to access.
