HAKO Sweepmaster P900 R Operating Manual page 9

Safety information
• Turn the machine off for cleaning
and maintaining the machine as well
as before replacing parts.
Remove the key.
• The dirt hopper must be cleaned at
regular intervals to prevent the accu-
mulation of bacteria.
• The machine is protected against
spray water (IPX3).
Cleaning the machine with a high-
pressure cleaner or steam jet is not
allowed.
• If the Sweepmaster is jacked up with
a jack, it must be additionally sup-
ported appropriately.
• There must be no persons on a
jacked up or raised Sweepmaster.
• When changing wheels, use wheel
chocks to additionally secure the ve-
hicle against rolling away. If possi-
ble, always change wheels on firm
and level ground.
• Do not remove or mount tyres or re-
pair them on a rim. When working on
the tyres and the rim, always go to an
authorised workshop that employs
specifically trained personnel and
has special safety tools. Never undo
the bolts of two-piece rims while the
wheel is mounted on the vehicle and
there is air in the tyres. Risk of seri-
ous injury!
• Do not perform any welding, drilling,
sawing or grinding work on parts of
the frame. Damaged parts may be
replaced only by an authorised Hako
workshop.
• Use only original fuses. If stronger
fuses are used, the electrical system
can be destroyed and there can be
fires.
• Always disconnect the minus pole of
the battery when working on the
electrical system.
• Never leave batteries discharged,
always recharge them as quickly as
possible.
• Only refill distilled water.
Never top up battery acid when the
cells are in perfect condition.
• To avoid leakage currents, always
keep the battery clean and dry and
protect it from contamination such as
metal dust.
• Battery acid is highly corrosive (keep
away from children).
Wear safety goggles when checking
the acid level. In case of acid splash-
es into the eye, rinse with water for
approx. 15 minutes and consult a
doctor immediately.
When handling the battery, use suit-
able protective means (e.g. protec-
tive gloves, protective finger guards).
Do not use naked flames (risk of
explosion).
• There is a risk of crushing and shear-
ing when installing, removing and
replacing the battery.
• Fluids (fuel, hydraulic oil) escaping
under high pressure can penetrate
the skin and cause severe injuries. If
coming into contact, consult a doctor
immediately to prevent infections.
Caution when draining hot oil – risk
of burns.
• Thoroughly check the brake systems
at regular intervals! Adjustment and
repair work at the brake system must
only be carried out by authorised
Hako workshops or approved brake
services.
• Thoroughly check the hydraulic sys-
tems at regular intervals. Adjustment
and repair work at the hydraulic sys-
tem must only be carried out by au-
thorised Hako workshops.
• Check hydraulic lines and hoses for
damage and leaks at regular inter-
vals. Replace damaged lines and
hoses immediately.
