Introduction
Intended use
The Citymaster 1600 is a multi-purpose machine intended for commercial and municipal use throughout the year
and with the attachments approved by Hako it is suitable for use in agriculture and forestry, mowing and sweep-
ing, marketplaces and car parks and for snow clearing. Any use extending beyond this is not intended use. The
manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from this and the user alone bears the risk. Intended use also
includes compliance with the operating, maintenance and servicing conditions specified by the manufacturer.
The vehicle may be used, maintained and repaired only by persons who are familiar with this work and instructed
about the dangers. The vehicle and its attachments correspond by virtue of their design and construction as well
as in the version distributed by us to the usual health and safety requirements of the EC Directives (see Declara-
tion of Conformity and CoC documents). These documents lose their validity in the event of a modification not
authorised by us. The manufacturer is not deemed liable for any damage resulting from unauthorised modifica-
tions to the machine.
Notes on warranty
The terms defined in the purchase agreement apply. Claims for compensation in relation to damage are excluded
from the terms of the warranty when the damage is the result of the failure to observe rules concerning servicing
and maintenance. Maintenance work must be carried out by authorised Hako dealers and confirmed in the “Main-
tenance Report”, which serves as a warranty logbook. The following are excluded from the terms of warranty:
wear and tear through overuse, defective fuses, improper handling and use and unauthorised modifications.
Claims under the terms of the warranty are also annulled when damage occurs to the vehicle resulting from the
use of parts or accessories not explicitly approved of by us or from failure to observe maintenance rules.
Acceptance of the vehicle
Inspect the vehicle immediately on delivery for signs of transport damage. You will be compensated if the dam-
age is immediately confirmed by the haulage contractor and the damage report is sent to our authorised Hako
dealer together with the consignment note.
Conditions for approval
The Citymaster 1600 is a multi-purpose machine (tractor for use in agriculture or forestry) in terms of the EC
Directive 2003/37/EC. The manufacturer provides an EC Certificate of Conformity and an EC Declaration of Con-
formity. Based on the EC Certificate of Conformity, the local licensing authorities will produce the registration cer-
tificate part 2 (vehicle registration) and part 1 (vehicle registration). For use on public roads, paths and areas the
Citymaster 1600 has to be licensed and display an official license plate. In accordance with the StVZO, in Ger-
many the vehicle must carry a first aid kit, warning triangle and the vehicle type approval when used on public
roads, paths and pedestrian precincts. In Germany the Citymaster 1600 is subject to regular general inspection
according to § 29 StVZO (every 24 months).
To acquire a new registration certificate, the vehicle must be presented to an officially accepted expert to produce
a new report. The modifications have to be included in the registration certificate by the registration authorities. In
the EC Declaration of Conformity the manufacturer declares that the attachments approved by Hako adhere to
the rulings in the EC Directive 2006/42/EC.
In other countries, the corresponding national regulations must be complied with.
Warning
If any modifications or additions are made to the Citymaster 1600, which affect the contents and are
not contained in the registration certificate, it will become void. In consequence the insurance cover
and the vehicle tax will also become void.

Safety Instructions
1.2 General safety instructions
•Apart from the instructions in this operating manual, the general safety and accident prevention regulations of
the legislation must be taken into account.
•Before the vehicle is put into service, please read carefully the operating manual you receive as well as further
separate instructions for additional implements or attachments and observe them in all aspects in your work.
•The vehicle may be used, maintained and repaired only by persons who have been instructed by Hako
experts.
•This device may not be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical or mental abilities or by
persons without sufficient experience and skills.
•You should pay special attention to the safety instructions. For errors in operating the vehicle can be avoided
and trouble-free operation can be guaranteed only with precise factual knowledge.
•Please hand over these documents as well as the approval documents to the new owner/operator on sale or
rental of the vehicle. Have the hand-over confirmed!
•The labels attached to the vehicle provide important information for safe operation. Renew labels that are no
longer legible or present.
•The approval certificate (Part 1), valid driver's license of the vehicle driver and the operating manual must be
present constantly at the place of use of the vehicle and should therefore be kept carefully in the driver's cab.
•Spare parts must be original spare parts to guarantee safety.
•The Citymaster 1600 is equipped with a safety cab (ROPS – roll-over protection system) according to
86/298/EEC.
1.3 Operating safety instructions
Before putting into service
•Risk of accident! If the steering column is unlocked while driving, it can come unexpectedly out of adjustment.
You can then lose control over the vehicle.
•Risk of accident! Adjust the driver's seat only when the vehicle is stationary. You will otherwise be diverted
from the traffic and could lose control over the vehicle by moving the seat. You could cause an accident by
this.
•Risk of accident! A dirty, damaged seat belt or one stressed or changed in an accident may not offer the
intended protection. You could therefore suffer severe injuries or death in an accident. Please check regularly
that the seat belts are not damaged and not contaminated. Always have damaged seat belts or those stressed
in an accident renewed by an authorised workshop.
•Risk of accident! Good viewing conditions contributing to traffic safety are guaranteed only if all windows are
free of ice, snow and condensation. Make yourself familiar with the correct operation of the heating and venti-
lation system as well as de-moisturising/defrosting the windows. Maximum heating power and fast thawing of
the windows can be achieved only if the engine has reached its operating temperature.
•There is a risk of accidents when driving with open doors! The doors must remain closed when driving on
public roads and when working.
•Check the vehicle for its correct condition and operating safety before using it. The vehicle must not be used if
it is not in order.
•Before starting work, the operator must familiarize himself with all equipment, operating and actuating
elements as well as with their function. It is too late to do this during operation!
•A warning triangle, a warning light, a warning vest and a first aid kit must be in the vehicle during operation.
•Sturdy and slip-proof shoes must be worn when working with the vehicle.
•This device may not be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical or mental abilities or by
persons without sufficient experience and skills.
•Carrying persons is not permitted!
•Only those surfaces approved by the contractor or its authorised representative for use of the vehicle may be
driven on.
•The vehicle is not suitable for removing dangerous, combustible or explosive liquids, dusts or materials.
•Observe the maximum gradability of the vehicle, see Technical data.

Safety Instructions
During operation
•Toxic engine exhaust gases! Inhaling exhaust gases is injurious to health and can lead to unconsciousness
and to death! Never let the engine run in enclosed spaces.
•Danger to life in the danger area of the vehicle! Special caution is required in the area of the articulated
steering, under the raised tipper, in the area of the front and rear attachment and in the area of the trailer.
•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 accident! Note that there is a risk of skidding on unpaved ground or snow and ice. This can lead to
uncontrolled behaviour of the vehicle. Drive correspondingly carefully!
•Risk of accident! Use the cruise control and the speed limiter only when the traffic situation allows!
•For reasons of safety, the vehicle is equipped with a seat contact switch and the function of the seat contact
switch must not be bypassed.
•In the case of restricted vision, especially when reversing the vehicle, it is necessary to have a second person
who gives the driver appropriate signals. The second person must always be in the field of view of the driver.
•When working with the vehicle, pay special attention to third persons, especially children.
•In transport journeys on public roads the working spotlights must be switched off.
Shutting down the vehicle
•Risk of accident! Adopt measures against erroneous starting and unwanted movement. Operate the parking
brake. Switch the engine off and pull out the ignition key.
•Risk of accident! The vehicle must be parked on firm ground. On inclinations secure the vehicle additionally
against rolling away with a wheel chock.
Transporting and towing the vehicle
•Danger to life! Start driving slowly! Make sure that there are no persons in the towing area.
•Risk of injury! The vehicle may be loaded only using suitable loading aids, such as a loading ramp or drive-up
planks.
•Risk of injury! After loading, make sure that the vehicle is secured according to regulations against rolling off
and tilting. Use the wheels for securing the vehicle.
•Tow the vehicle using only suitable towing gear!
•The vehicle may be towed with a towing rope only if the brakes and steering are functioning!
•When the engine is still the steering has only emergency steering properties!
•Secure the vehicle against unintended movement! Lock the parking brake and insert the locking bolt on the
articulated joint. Note that the steering is then blocked!
1.4 Safety instructions for attachments
General
•Danger to life in the danger area of the vehicle! Special caution is required under the raised tipper, in the area
of the front and rear attachment and in the area of 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 axle loads and total weights are complied with.

Safety Instructions
•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
