installation, switch the vehicle off im-
mediately and clear the fault.
• Work on the electrical equipment
may only be carried out by electrici-
ans who have received the necessa-
ry training and in accordance with
the electrical engineering regulati-
ons.

must be inspected/checked at regu-
lar intervals. Defects, such as loose
connections and cable damage,
must be rectified immediately.
• Only use original fuses with the spe-
cified amperage.
Batteries
• Observe the information in the ope-
rating manual provided by the batte-
ry manufacturer.
• Before charging the batteries, read
and take heed of the safety informa-
tion regarding the charging area/
charging station.
• The Quick Charge Technology tem-
porarily provokes extremely high
battery currents. Check that the
charge cables and battery connec-
tors are properly and firmly attached
at all times - risk of fire! Always have
a licensed Hako workshop remove
any defects.
• Batteries may only be handled and
replaced by qualified service person-
nel.
• Operate the equipment on mainte-
nance-free high-performance batte-
ries (AGM batteries) approved by
Hako only.

vity,onlybatteriesapprovedbyHako
may be installed at the intended po-
sition.
• Never lay any metallic objects or
tools on batteries - risk of short cir-
cuit!
• Ensure sufficient ventilation in the
charging area when charging the
batteries – risk of explosion!

First Operation
2First Operation
2.1 Instruction
Instruction is required before first ope-
ration. First instruction into handling of
the machine must be held by a qualified
person sent by your local PowerBoss
contract dealer. Your PowerBoss dea-
ler will be informed by the manufacturer
upon delivery of the vehicle and will
contact you to make a date for instruc-
tion.
2.2 Initial charging procedure
Before first operation of the
machine, fully charge the
battery with an initial charging
procedure and comply with the
operating instructions of the
chargeraswellaswiththoseof
the battery manufacturer. Po-
werBoss cannot be held liable
for damages resulting from an
insufficient initial charge.
2.3 Before Putting into Operation
Complete the following inspections be-
fore taking the machine into operation:
1. Check the area around the machine
for signs of leakage. Hoses, lines
and tanks must be free from any lea-
kage or damage.
2. Install brushes and squeegee, see
maintenance chapter.
3. Install batteries and connect battery
plug, see maintenance chapter.
4. Check battery charge and proceed
tore-chargingofbatteriesifrequired.
Generally proceed to initial charging
before first operation of the machine.
5. Empty recovery tank and clean it if
required, see maintenance chapter.
6. Re-fillsolutiontank and addcleaning
agent according to the manufactu-
rer's recommendations.
Use only cleaning agents sui-
table for automatic machines
(low-foaming) and comply with
the instructions for use, dispo-
sal and with the warning infor-
mation specified by the clea-
ning agent's manufacturer.
2.4 Switching the machine on
Before switching the machine
on, please read the safety in-
formation in Chapter 1.
Switch the machine on by actuating the
switch (Fig. 3/1) from position (0) to po-
sition (1).

First Operation
2.5 Operation
1. Switch the machine on using the key
switch. All the units are in Standby
2. Lower the squeegee using the
squeegee lever. The suction turbine
is switched on.
3. Lower the brush head using the foot
pedal.
4. Pull the bar on the bail system. The
brush head drive is switched on.
5. Set the solution quantity using the
button on the operating panel.
6. Set the driving direction and speed
using the bar on the bail system.
7. To alter the cleaning intensity of the
cleaningprocess,use thebuttons on
the operating panel to change the
solution quantity and switch the solu-
tion supply on and off.
Start driving immediately after
switching on the brush head
drive otherwise imprints of the
brush could be produced on
the floor. Raise the brush head
when driving over thresholds.
2.5.1 Useful tips
Before beginning wet cleaning, sweep
the floor. This not only improves the
cleaning effect but also reduces the ma-
chine's liability to wear.
The floor should be treated twice in the
case of particularly dirty floors or to re-
move wax (thorough cleaning). During
the first cleaning process, the floor is
scrubbed with a cleaning agent dosage
appropriate to the degree of soiling,
whereby the squeegee is raised.
The cleaning agent is left to act on the
floor for approx. 5 to 10 minutes accor-
ding to the manufacturer's instructions,
then scrub the floor again and, after
that, treat it with the squeegee lowered.
Pay attention to the correct do-
sage of the cleaning agent.
The correct dosage helps to re-
duce costs and protect the en-
vironment. The development
of excessive foam impairs the
machine's function. It indicates
there is too much cleaning
agent or the wrong one has
been selected for the cleaning
process being completed.
Unused component parts of a
cleaning agent which endupin
the waste water lead to the de-
velopment of foam. Informati-
on on dosage is provided on
the cleaning agent container.
Use the manufacturer's infor-
mation as an initial basis. Prac-
tical experience will ensure
that you quickly find out which
is the right Hako cleaning
agentandtheoptimumdosage
to suit your needs.

3.1 Method of operation
General information
The Hakomatic B45 CL DTC is a scrub-
ber dryer for the wet cleaning of hard
floors.
3.1.1 Brush head
Thebrushin the brush head (Fig.5/1)is
driven by an electric motor. The brush
head is lowered by means of the brush
pedal. The floor is cleaned by the rotary
brush and cleaning agent. The brush
can be removed for maintenance pur-
poses by pressing a button.
3.1.2 Solution tank
The solution tank (Fig. 5/2) is filled
through a detachable filling neck. The
Hakomatic B45 CL DTC solution tank
has a volume of approx. 45 liters. The

Operation
3.1.3 Squeegee
The squeegee (Fig. 6/1), which is
hooked in and can move, is lowered by
means of a hand lever and adapts per-
fectly to the floor through the sealing
strips. The suction turbine vacuums up
the waste water from the floor.
3.1.4 Recovery tank
The waste water which is vacuumed up
is fed from the squeegee to the recove-
ry tank (Fig. 6/2) via a suction hose. A
hand-held suction hose is available as
an option to clean and vacuum up solu-
tion from inaccessible areas.
3.1.5 Traction drive
