Suction Turbines (Suction); Solution Tank; Recovery Tank - HAKO Hakomatic B1050 Instruction Manual

Operation

3.1.3 Suction turbines (suction)

(Fig. 12/3)
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. 12/2)
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 to fill and secure. Fill water,
max. 50 °C, and add the cleaning agent
in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions. 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-
22
anced for the Hakomatic B1050. These
products meet the requirements stipu-
lated in the washing and cleaning agent
directive (WRMG - Wasch- und Reini-
gungsmittelgesetzes). Observe the cor-
rect dosage of the cleaning agent. The
correct dosage helps to reduce costs
and protect the environment. The de-
velopment of excessive foam impairs
the machine's function. It indicates
overdosage of the cleaning agent; com-
ponents of the cleaning agent which are
fed back to the waste water cause
foaming. Information on dosage is pro-
vided on the cleaning agent container.
Use the manufacturer's information as
an initial guideline. Practical experience
will ensure that you quickly find out
which is the right cleaning agent and
the optimum dosage to suit your needs.
The solution feed to the brushes is au-
tomatically 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. 12/1)
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, control
lamp 2 on the left operating panel lights
up. An acoustic signal is also issued. A
vacuuming tool, which can be connect-
ed to the vehicle, is optionally available
with which to clean and vacuum up wa-
ter from areas difficult to access.
