1 Introduction
1.1 Notes on this Operation and Maintenance Manual
This operation and maintenance manual contains important information
on how to work safely, correctly and economically with your Citymaster.
Therefore, it aims not only at new operators, but is also a reference for
experienced ones. It helps to avoid dangerous situations, and reduce
repair costs and downtimes. Furthermore, the reliability and the service
life of the vehicle will be increased by following the instructions in the ope-
ration manual. For these reasons, the operation and maintenance manual
must always be kept at hand in the vehicle.
Your own safety, as well as the safety of others, depends to a great extent
on how the vehicle is moved and operated. Therefore, carefully read and
understand this operation and maintenance manual prior to the first drive.
This operation and maintenance manual will help to familiarise yourself
more easily with the vehicle, thereby enabling you to use it more safely
and efficiently.
Prior to the first drive, carefully read Section 2 "Safety Instructions” as
well, in order to be prepared for possible dangerous situations, as it will be
too late for it during operation. As a rule, keep the following in mind:
Careful and prudent working is the best way to avoid accidents!
Operational safety and readiness of the vehicle do not only depend on
your skill, but also on maintenance and service of the vehicle. This is why
regular maintenance and service work is absolutely necessary. Extensive
maintenance and repair work should always be carried out by an expert
with appropriate training. Insist on using original spare parts when perfor-
ming maintenance and repair work. This ensures operating safety and
readiness and condition in accordance with the regulations of your vehicle
and maintains its value.
Your authorised Hako dealer will be pleased to answer further questions
regarding the vehicle or the operation and maintenance manual.
We urgently recommend to read this manual!

Safety instructions
2.3 Designated use and exemption from liability
•The Hako-Citymaster 2000 is used as tool carrier / machine for
industrial and municipality work around the year. This implies outdoor
cleaning by use of the sweeping unit, the suction port and the dirt
hopper as well as the optional winter service by use of a snow blade, a
sand or salt spreader and a pre-sweeper.
Every other application is regarded as not designated for the use of the
vehicle.
Hako-Werke GmbH will not be liable for damage resulting from use
other than mentioned above. The user alone will bear the risk.
Designated use also includes observing the instructions in the opera-
tion manual and observing the conditions of maintenance and service.
•Observe the pertinent regulations relevant to accident prevention, other
generally acknowledged regulations regarding safety and occupational
medicine, as well as the regulations and standards relevant to motor
vehicles and traffic which are valid in your country. Hako-Werke GmbH
will not be liable for damage resulting from the failure to observe these
regulations.
•The safety of the vehicle can be negatively affected by carrying out
vehicle modifications without proper authority and by using spare parts,
equipment, implements and optional equipment which have not been
checked and released by Hako-Werke GmbH. Hako-Werke GmbH will
not be liable for damage resulting from this.
Any unauthorised modification invalidates the Type Approval according
to §19(2) StVZO. The vehicle no longer complies with the model
described in the manufacturer documentation. This entitles the
manufacturer to refuse any warranty claims of the operator against the
manufacturer.
•Hako-Werke GmbH will not be liable when:
•Other implements are used than those checked and approved by
Hako-Werke GmbH
•The service and maintenance work specified in the operation and
maintenance manual has not been performed correctly or not at all
•Hako-Werke GmbH will not be liable for personal injury and/or damage
to property caused by failure to observe the safety instructions and the
operation manual, and by the negligence of the duty to exercise due
care when:
•Handling
•Operation
•Servicing and carrying out maintenance work
•Repairing
the vehicle.

2.4 General conduct and safety instructions
Organisational measures •The vehicle has been designed and built in accordance with state-of-
the-art standards and the recognised safety regulations. Nevertheless,
its use may constitute a risk to life and limb of the user or of third
parties, or cause damage to the vehicle and to other material property.
•The vehicle must only be used in technically perfect condition in accor-
dance with its designated use and the instructions set out in the
operation manual, and only by safety-conscious persons who are fully
aware of the risks involved in operating the vehicle. Any functional
disorders, especially those affecting the safety of the vehicle, should
therefore be rectified immediately!
Basic rule:
Before starting up the vehicle, inspect the vehicle for safety in work and
road operation!
•Careful and prudent working is the best way to avoid accidents!
•The operating instructions must always be at hand at the place of use
of the vehicle, and must therefore be kept in the storage compartment
provided for in the cab.
Immediately complete or replace an incomplete or illegible operation
manual.
•Also read carefully all additional instructions which may have been
handed out to you before carrying out activities with which you are not
familiar!
•When implements and superstructures are used, also pay attention to
the operation manual of the respective manufacturer
•In addition to the operating instructions, observe the operator in all
other generally applicable legal and other mandatory regulations
