Information about special risks

Electrical system
• If the electrical system is faulty, always turn off the machine and eliminate
the fault.
• Work on the electrical system must be done only in accordance with
electrical engineering standards by a specialist trained for this work.
• Regularly inspect/check the electrical system. Defects such as loose
connections, loose nuts of electrified bolts, electrical components or
damaged cables must be eliminated immediately.
• Only use original fuses with the specified current. If stronger fuses are
used, the electrical system can be destroyed and there can be fires.
Batteries
• Observe the operating manuals and safety instructions provided by the
battery manufacturer.
• Never connect or disconnect batteries when the machine is turned on.
• Make sure the batteries are never fully discharged; recharge them as
quickly as possible.
• Only instructed maintenance personnel must handle and replace batteries.
• Only batteries approved by Hako may be used at the intended position.
• Danger! Make sure that the insulation of the battery cables is not damaged.
The battery cables should not rub against anything. If the insulation is
defective, no longer use the machine and have the battery cables replaced
by the Hako customer service immediately.
• Caution! Always make sure that the batteries are clean and dry to avoid
creeping currents and corrosion damage. Protect the batteries, in
particular, against conductive contamination, e. g. metal dust.
• Risk of short circuits and spark formation! Never place tools or other electri-
cally conductive objects on the battery!
• Do not remove insulating caps and covers, if necessary re-install them after
carrying out work on the battery cables.
• Caution! Explosive gases may develop when charging the batteries.
Avoid smoking, fire or naked light in the vicinity of batteries. Ensure suffi-
cient ventilation when charging the batteries.
