tuate the parking brake when leaving
the machine unattended.
• Mind rotating parts when opening
the engine compartment.
• Start machine only with all units
being off and engine speed switch
set to idle position.
1.4 Maintenance Instructions
• Observe the maintenance activities
and intervals set out in the instruc-
tion manual.
• Have the machine checked for safe
condition by an expert at regular in-
tervals (recommendation: at least
once yearly) as well as after modifi-
cations or repair (Check CO-value of
the exhaust gas every six months at
least).
• Spare parts have to equal the techni-
cal requirements as specified by the
manufacturer! Genuine spare parts
guarantee compliance with these re-
quirements.
• Stop engine before proceeding to in-
spection and maintenance work.
• If the Hakomatic 1800 is jacked,
have it additionally supported accor-
ding to prescriptions.
• Nobody is allowed to stay on a jak-
ked or lifted Hakomatic 1800.
• Before working at the tyres, make
sure to have the Hakomatic 1800
safely parked and protected against

Safety information
• Do not clean the electrical parts by
means of high-pressure cleaning
equipment.
• Do not proceed to welding, boring,
sewing and grinding of the frame and
parts of it. A qualified Hako work-
shop only is authorised to replace
damaged parts.
• Handle battery acid with utmost care
- caustic
• Before proceeding to electro-welding
at the Hakomatic 1800 disconnect

escaping under high pressure and
penetrating the skin may cause se-
vere injuries. Immediately contact a
doctor to preclude infections.
• Proceed to draining of hot oil with ut-
most care - burning hazard.
• Check function of steering and bra-
kes before daily work and at a safe
place.
• Submit brake systems to thorough
inspection at regular intervals! Quali-
fied Hako workshops only are autho-
rised to proceed to setting and repair
works at the brake system.

vention regulation BGV D 34 directi-
ve Handling of LPG, the following
safety provisions have to be com-
plied with:
• Scrubber-driers may be operated
only by appropriate persons who
have been trained in operating and
in handling LPG systems, who have
testified their capability to the owner
of the unit or his authorised repre-
sentative, and who have been orde-
red explicitly by him to operate the
machine.
• Use the LPG system only if it is in
proper condition.
• Only use replacement cylinder ac-
cording to labelling i.e. collar ope-
ning pointing down because of
discharge from liquid phase.
• Discharge from liquid phase by e.g.
overturning the collar opening is not
admitted.
• The operator has to use the machine
within its design limits and has to
take notice of local conditions during
riding.
• Change the LPG reservoir after
standstill of engine only.
• Smoking and handling open flames
are prohibited during change of gas
reservoir. Operate machine from one
gas reservoir only! Connecting re-
servoirs is prohibited. Use blind plug

• If stored in garages or halls, do not
park the vehicle in direct vicinity of
heating elements. When parking the
vehicle immediately close discharge
valves of the tanks and ride until li-
nes are empty.
• Gas cylinder change in garages or
below ground level is prohibited.
Check the gas system for leakage at
regular intervals. Provide for safe
placement of vehicles equipped with
LPG systems (e.g. provide for suf-
ficient ventilation; park above ground
level; keep clear of openings, pits,
wells and other; close outlet valve).

9. Adjust brush ground pressure by re-
gulator (Fig. 8/7).
10.If required, switch on lighting
11.Slowly depress accelerator pedal
and clean desired surface (accelera-
tor pedal activates water supply and
the brushes of the scrubbing unit).
2.7 After Work
1. Ride vehicle to suitable site for cle-
aning.
Proceed to eco-friendly dispo-
sal of dirt and soiled water!
2. Empty dirt hopper
3. Empty soiled water tank.
4. Empty clear water tank.
5. Check clear water filter.
6. Check seals and suction hose.
7. Check operating media levels,
function and setting, see chapter
Maintenance.
8. Turn off engine, engage parking bra-
ke and pull ignition key.
2.8 Load
1. Park machine on a transport vehicle
or trailer and engage parking brake.
2. Secure machine by straps.
Fasten straps at the chassis
only and not at the engine
swing frame.

First Operation
2.9 Tie-down points
The front sides of both wheel housings
are equipped with an opening (Fig. 2/2)
for tying down the front part of the ma-
chine. Secure the rear part of the ma-
chine with a hook or an eye (Fig. 2/3).
Fig.2
2.10 Towing
Do not tow the vehicle for a di-
stance of 800 metres and more
and do not exceed a towing
velocity of 1.5 km/h. If these li-
mit values are not adhered to,
the hydraulic system may be
damaged. If the above mentio-
ned values are exceeded lift-
up the rear wheel or place it on
a roll board.
Actuate the bypass valve before towing.
1. Open engine hood, siehe Abschnitt
5.5.1.
2. The bypass valve is located at the
front wall of the hydraulic tank.
3. Turn lever (Fig. 2/1) of the bypass
valve clockwise by 90°.
4. The vehicle then can be pushed or
towed.
Generally tow the vehicle with the rear
wheel lifted!
2.11 Support Points
Safely jack the vehicle. Do not
rely on stands alone.
Place stands under the front border of
the wheel housing at the chassis. Sup-
port the rear vehicle part by placing
jacks under the chassis next to the rear
lights.

3.1 Method of Operation
3.1.1 General
The Hakomatic 1800 is an automatic
large-surface scrubbing machine with
integrated sweeping system for efficient
dry and wet cleaning of hard floorings.
3.1.2 Sweeping Unit
The sweeping unit collects the dirt into
a hopper. But before, two side brushes
(Fig. 3/1) sweep the dirt and direct it into
the track of the cylindrical broom (Fig. 3/
2). The suction fan then takes it into the
dirt hopper (Fig. 3/3). A dust filter sepa-
rates fine dusts.
3.1.3 Water Tank
A flexible pane separates the water
tank into two chambers: soiled water
tank (Fig. 3/5) and clean water tank
(Fig. 3/4). to make optimal use of the
tank capacity holding soiled and clean
water. A pump delivers the clean water
to the scrubbing unit.

Operation
3.1.4 Scrubbing Unit
The suspended scrubbing unit (Fig. 4/1)
comprises three hydraulically driven
scrubbing brushes, the lateral wipers
and a water supply system.
3.1.5 Squeegee
The suspended squeegee (Fig. 4/2)
comprises the squeegee lift-out system,
suction turbine and sealing strips. The-
se sealing strips wipe the soiled water
off the floor by and a suction turbine
takes it into the soiled water tank. In re-
verse ride, the squeegee is automati-
cally lifted out.
3.1.6 Travel Drive and Work Hy-
draulics
The combustion engine (Fig. 4/3) provi-
des for direct drive of the drive pump
and the hydraulic pumps for steering/
sweeping unit and scrubbing unit. Tra-
vel drive assembly and work hydraulics
are protected by oil cooler and corre-
sponding filters.
