Safety instructions for attachments

General
•
Danger to life in the danger area of the vehicle! Special caution is required in the vicinity of the articulated
steering, under the raised tipper, in the vicinity of the front tool carrier, in the vicinity of the front and rear-
mounted equipment and in the area between the towing vehicle and the trailer.
•
Risk of injury! Put the attachment into service only if all protective devices are attached and in protection
position.
•
Risk of injury! Make sure that the attachments are suitable for the set oil volume. An oil volume set too high
can lead to injuries due to a defect of the attachment!
•
Risk of injury! High-pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for equipment safety. Use only high-
pressure hoses, fittings and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.
•
Risk of accident! When connecting attachments to the hydraulic system, ensure that the hydraulic hoses are
connected correctly. Swapping the connections can lead to reverse functioning of the attachment, e.g.
movement to the right rather than the left.
•
Risk of accident! Front attachments not correctly fastened to the front tool carrier can drop down while driving.
Always secure the front attachment with the locking devices.
•
Risk of accident! You must consult Hako before attaching other attachments not approved by Hako! Check in
the individual case that the relevant axial loads and total weights are complied with.
•
Risk of accident! Handling, steering and braking as well as stability are influenced by attachments, trailers and
the vehicle payload (e.g. full dirt hopper). For this reason, pay attention to adequate steering and braking
capability as well as stability.
•
Risk of accident! In Germany, if attachments extend beyond the outer lighting equipment of the vehicle or if the
maximum distances of the outer lighting equipment specified according to StVZO are exceeded, the lighting
equipment of the vehicle must be repeated (see Merkblatt StVZO § 30, explanations 11 and 12).
Ballast
•
Risk of accident! When attaching other devices not approved by Hako, check in the individual case whether
the relevant axle loads and total weights are complied with!
•
Risk of accident! The front axle of the working machine must always be loaded with at least 21 % of the empty
weight and the rear axle with at least 42 % of the empty weight of the working machine.
•
Risk of accident! The front and rear attachments must not lead to exceeding the permissible total weight, the
permissible axle load and the tyre load capacity of the working machine!
•
Make sure before purchasing the attachment that these requirements are fulfilled by weighing the working
machine attachment combination!
Vacuum sweeping system
•
Danger to life in the danger area of the vehicle! Special caution is required under the raised tipper and in the
area of the sweeping unit.
•
Danger of tilting over when driving uphill or downhill and transversely to a slope! Avoid sudden turns when
driving uphill or downhill or across slopes. There is a risk of tilting over in an inclined position! The vehicle
speed must always be adapted to the surrounding conditions and the load condition.
•
Danger of tilting due to wrong steering! Note that the steering behaviour of an articulated steered vehicle
differs essentially from that of a car. Sudden steering movements at high speed or too high speeds when
turning can cause the vehicle to tilt over.
•
Risk of injury! Frequently check the filling level of the dirt hopper. Switch the suction fan off for this! The lid and
the side doors of the dirt hopper must not be opened when the suction fan is running.
•
Risk of accident! Make transport journeys only with the sweeping unit raised and secured in the transport
position.
•
Risk of accident! Make transport journeys only with a completely lowered dirt hopper!
•
Risk of accident! The stability of the vehicle is influenced by a filled dirt hopper. Handling of the vehicle must be
adapted accordingly.
•
Risk of accident! Do not exceed the permissible total weight of the vehicle!
•
Risk of accident! When the dirt hopper is emptied, the Citymaster 650 must be on a sufficiently load bearing,
horizontal surface. Driving with the dirt hopper tilted is not permitted.
•
When removing blockages in the suction hose or attaching the hand suction hose (optional), switch off the
engine and wait for the suction fan to come to a standstill.
•
The vacuum sweeping system may be operated only in connection with the Citymaster 650. The safety regula-
tions for the Citymaster 650 must be complied with absolutely.
