Starting Up
Pay attention to persons in the
vicinity of the vehicle when
completing any work.
2.1
Instruction
Operators must receive instruction be-
fore the vehicle is put into service. Only
technicians from your local authorized
Hako dealer are allowed to provide ini-
tial instruction on the vehicle. The man-
ufacturing plant will notify the dealer
immediately after delivering the vehicle
and the dealer will contact you to ar-
range a date.
2.2
Initial battery charge
An initial battery charge must be per-
formed on the batteries in order for
them to provide an optimum perfor-
mance and service life. A battery char-
ger is available which is specially
adapted to the batteries.
Only use batteries and char-
gers recommended by us. The
full terms of warranty can only
be accepted when these units
are used.
Before starting the vehicle up
for the first time, the batteries
to be used must be fully
charged, properly, by imple-
menting the initial battery
charge routine. Hako assumes
no liability for damage to the
battery caused by a fault when
the battery is charged for the
first time.
The seat console must be piv-
oted open during the battery
charging process to prevent
the development of explosive
oxyhydrogen!
Only use the original charger!
Pay attention that the insula-
tion is not initially damaged
and not damaged during the
charging process. The cable
must not rub against anything.
Do not use the charger if the in-
sulation is damaged.
Do not inhale battery gases.
Please pay attention to the operating
manual provided with the charging unit
as well as the manual from the battery
manufacturer. Powering up the batter-
ies is described in such detail in the
manufacturer's documents that further
information on the subject is considered
unnecessary for this manual.
