Filling opening fresh water Fig. 8-20
The solution tank is filled via the filling opening.
Optionally, the solution tank can be filled via the automatic filling unit, see section 5.4.2.
2.3 General principle of operation
Scrubmaster B120 R is a ride-on scrubber-drier for wet cleaning hard floor surfaces.
In cleaning mode, the cleaning solution is supplied from the solution tank to the rotating brushes in the brush unit. When the machine is moving forwards, the used waste water is absorbed by the squeegee and conveyed into the waste water tank.

2.3.1 Solution tank
The solution tank Fig. 9-6 is filled via the filling opening Fig. 4-20. The solution tank has a capacity of 120 litres. The level can be determined via a transparent hose Fig. 10-30. If there are only 10 litres of fresh water left in the tank, the ball cock symbol flashes in the display panel and a warning sound (approx. 30 seconds) requests refilling.
2.3.2 Brush unit
The brushes in the brush unit Fig. 9-8 are driven by two electric motors. The brush unit is lowered with the brush unit button Fig. 5-36. When actuating the accelerator pedal, the brush motors and the water supply are switched on. The floor is cleaned by the rotating brushes and the supply of cleaning solution.
For maintenance purposes, the brushes in the rotating brush unit can be decoupled via the foot lever brush decoupler Fig. 8-7.
2.3.3 Squeegee
The movable, hinged squeegee Fig. 9-26 is lowered and switched on with the squeegee button Fig. 5-37. The squeegee withdraws the waste water from the floor using a sealing strip. The suction turbine vacuums the waste water from the floor. If the machine passes through narrow sections, e.g. checkout areas, the squeegee can be removed by loosening the star-shaped handle and hooked into the cover Fig. 10-A of the waste water tank.

2.3.4 Waste water tank
The waste water vacuumed by the squeegee is conveyed via a suction hose Fig. 10-28 from the squeegee into the waste water tank Fig. 10-17.
A manual suction tool or manual spray suction tool Fig. 9-5 is optionally available for cleaning and water absorption in difficult-to-reach positions.
2.3.5 Drain hose waste water
The waste water is drained from the waste water tank with the drain hose Fig. 10-27.
2.3.6 Tray (option)
The tray Fig. 9-4 is used to transport cleaning utensils.

3.4.6 Useful cleaning tips
Sweep the floor before carrying out wet cleaning. This not only enhances the cleaning effect but also reduces wear of the machine's working tools.
If the floors are really dirty or wax needs to be removed, treat the floor twice. In the first step, scrub the floor with a detergent suitable for the degree of soiling; the squeegee remains raised for this.
Leave the detergent for approx. 5 to 10 minutes; subsequently scrub the floor again and work with a lowered squeegee.
- Only use detergents suitable for automatic machines (foam retarded). We recommend use of our detergents and care agents specifically developed for the machine. These products meet the requirements of the German Detergent and Cleaning Agent Act (WRMG).
- Observe correct dosing of the detergent. Correct dosing saves money and protects the environment. Strong foam formation is a sign of excessive dosing and impairs machine operation.
3.4.7 Handling and braking the vehicle
- Danger of tilting over when driving on excessively steep slopes
Transport journeys on slopes of up to 10 % must only be executed for 1 minute and with special caution. - Risk of skidding when driving on wet surfaces.
Drive very carefully into the bend when driving downhill.
Observe the following points when driving:
- Driving speed and braking of the machine are controlled via the accelerator pedal.
- When releasing the accelerator pedal, the engine brake is activated automatically. This also applies to slopes and when driving downhill.
- Stop the machine: Release the accelerator pedal.
- When the machine is at standstill, the parking brake is activated audibly. It is no longer possible to push the machine, see section 3.4.8.
Overload protection
In case of an overload, e.g. excessively steep slopes, the drive motor is switched off after a certain period of time.
- Let the machine cool down for approx. 15 minutes.
- Restart the machine.
3.4.8 Pushing the machine
After pushing the machine, only re-start it if the lever has been positioned and the cover installed.

Charging the batteries with the on-board charger
Batteries and chargers: make sure your charger is compatible with your batteries, and set its charging algorithm to your battery pack before you use it.
The batteries are charged via the integrated on-board charger. The batteries can be charged if two fields of the charging state indicator Fig. 21-57 have gone out, at the latest, however, after the cleaning functions have been switched off (one field flashes).
- Place the machine on a level surface and turn it off.
- Remove the mains plug Fig. 3-2 from the tray and plug it into a 230 V socket.
- The charging process now starts automatically.
Only park unused machines when switched off and in a dry location.
Checking the charging process

During the charging process, the charging progress is displayed in the display panel Fig. 22-57:
- Field 1 permanently ON, running light in fields 2, 3 and 4:
Main charge <50 % charged battery capacity - Fields 1 and 2 permanently ON, running lights in fields 3 and 4:
Main charge >50 % charged battery capacity - Fields 1, 2 and 3 permanently ON, field 4 flashes: Recharge
- All fields permanently ON: End of charging process / trickle charge
Charging the battery with a stationary charger
Batteries and chargers: make sure your charger is compatible with your batteries, and set its charging algorithm to your battery pack before you use it.

Charge the batteries with a stationary charger as, for example, shown in Fig. 23-A. The batteries can be charged when two fields in the charging status indicator Fig. 22-57 have gone out.
- Place the machine on a level surface and turn it off.

5.3.6 Checking the acid level
Batteries and chargers: make sure your charger is compatible with your batteries, and set its charging algorithm to your battery pack before you use it.
- Observe the information in the operating manual of the battery manufacturer!
- Refilling must only take place once the battery charging process has been terminated.

The customer has to check the acid level of the battery weekly, demineralised water (according to DIN 43530-4) must be refilled if necessary.
If the trough battery is equipped with an aquamatic system Fig. 24-A, each individual cell features a sealing plug with float indicator. The white dot must be located at the top and must be clearly visible. If this is not the case, refill demineralised water.
To do so, connect the end piece of the aquamatic system Fig. 24-B to a container with demineralised water. Observe sufficient gradient, ensuring the water can flow into the cells. If the required level has been reached, the plugs automatically seal the cells and indicate “full”.
5.3.7 Replacing the batteries
- Only use batteries approved by Hako at the intended position!
- Use suitable lifting equipment when inserting/replacing batteries.
- When changing the type of battery, the battery holder in the battery compartment might have to be adjusted to prevent slipping.
- The batteries should only be replaced by qualified service personnel!
For reasons of safety, we recommend that an authorised Hako workshop carries out these tasks. - When using other batteries which have been approved by Hako, the BMS must be reset to protect the battery against total discharge. The settings of the BMS should only be carried out by a workshop authorised by Hako!
