3.4.3 Useful cleaning tips
Sweep the floor before carrying out wet cleaning. This not only enhances the cleaning effect but also reduces wear of the machine's working tools.
If the floors are really dirty or wax needs to be removed, treat the floor twice. In the first step, scrub the floor with a detergent suitable for the degree of soiling; the squeegee remains raised for this.
Leave the detergent for approx. 5 to 10 minutes; subsequently scrub the floor again and work with a lowered squeegee.
- Only use detergents suitable for automatic machines (foam retarded). We recommend use of our detergents and care agents specifically developed for the machine. These products meet the requirements of the German Detergent and Cleaning Agent Act (WRMG).
- Observe correct dosing of the detergent. Correct dosing saves money and protects the environment. Strong foam formation is a sign of excessive dosing and impairs machine operation.
3.4.4 Handling and braking the vehicle
- Danger of tilting over when driving on excessively steep slopes
Transport journeys on slopes of up to 10 % must only take place for a limited period of time and with special caution. - Risk of skidding when driving on wet surfaces.
Drive very carefully into the bend when driving downhill.
Observe the following points when driving:
- Driving speed and braking of the machine are controlled via the accelerator pedal.
- The engine brake is automatically applied when the accelerator pedal is released. This also applies when ascending or descending.
- Stop the machine: Release the accelerator pedal. Operate the operating brake for maximum deceleration.
- When the machine is at standstill, the parking brake is activated audibly.
It is no longer possible to push the machine, see section 3.4.5.
Overload protection
In case of an overload, e.g. excessively steep slopes, the drive motor is switched off after a certain period of time.
- Let the machine cool down for approx. 15 minutes.
- Restart the machine.
3.4.5 Pushing the machine
Only push the machine on a level surface!
After pushing the machine, do not re-start until the lever(s) has (have) been positioned and the cover has been fitted.
If the machine stops on an uphill or downhill gradient, call the towing service or Hako service!

In order to push the machine, carry out the following steps:
