General information
• In addition to the information provid-
ed in this operating manual, all the
legally applicable health and safety
provisions must be observed.
• Before starting up the vehicle for the
first time, read the operating manual
supplied with it thoroughly as well as
any separate manuals provided with
additional or attachment devices and
observe all the information during
work.
• The vehicle may only be operated,
serviced and repaired by personnel
trained by Hako technical experts.
• Particular attention should be paid to
the information regarding safety.
Technical expertise is the key to pre-
venting errors when operating the
equipment and ensuring trouble-free
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 trans-
ferred to the new owner/operator.
The transfer should be confirmed!
• The warning labels attached to the
equipment provide important infor-
mation concerning safe operation.
Labels which are illegible or missing
must be replaced.

Operating information
• Before starting the vehicle up for the
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
operating manual provided with the
charging unit as well as the manual
from the battery manufacturer. Hako
assumes no liability for damage to
the battery caused by a fault when
the battery is charged for the first
time.
• Check the operational safety of the
vehicle each time before starting it
up! Clear any faults immediately!
• Before starting work, the operator
must be fully familiar with all adjust-
ment, operating and control ele-
ments as well as their respective
function! It is too late to do this when
the vehicle is actually in operation!
• Always wear heavy duty, non-slip
footwear when working with the vehi-
cle.
• The vehicle may only be driven and
the equipment used on those surfac-
es which have been approved by the
