2.4 Functional description:

In short This section describes the Scrubmaster B260 R as a ride-on scrubber-drier for wet cleaning of hard floors, and explains how it cleans and picks up water. It also covers the solution tank: it is filled through the filling opening, holds 260 litres, and warns when the level drops below 10 litres.‌‌​⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​‌‍⁠​‍‍⁠‌‍​​​​​‍⁠​​​​‌​⁠​​⁠⁠‍​​‌​‍‌‍‍‌​‍⁠⁠​‌​​‍‍‌⁠

Scrubmaster B260 R is a ride-on scrubber-drier for wet cleaning hard floor surfaces. The Scrubmaster B260 R is intended for economical cleaning of large operational areas.‌‌​⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​‌‍⁠​‍‍⁠‌‍​​​​​‍⁠​​​​‌​⁠​​⁠⁠‍​​‌​‍‌‍‍‌​‍⁠⁠​‌​​‍‍‌⁠

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.

A seat contact ensures that the machine can only be operated when the operator is sitting on the seat.

Red and grey ride-on scrubber-drier Scrubmaster B260 R seen from the front left, with callouts 39 at the filling opening at the top rear, 24 on the side of the body, 22 and 28 near the front wheel and brush area, and 14 at the bottom of the machine

2.4.8 Travel drive

In short This part describes how the machine drives, brakes and steers, and mentions the optional X-AC drive. It also covers how the operator slows the machine and which batteries and battery management system are used.‌‌​⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​‌‍⁠​‍‍⁠‌‍​​​​​‍⁠⁠​​​‌​⁠​​‌​⁠‍​​‌‌‍‍‍‍⁠‌​⁠⁠⁠‍‌​⁠‌⁠

Standard‌‌​⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​‌‍⁠​‍‍⁠‌‍​​​​​‍⁠⁠​​​‌​⁠​​‌​⁠‍​​‌‌‍‍‍‍⁠‌​⁠⁠⁠‍‌​⁠‌⁠

The travel drive consists of an electric machine and a gearbox, and fulfils the functions of driving, braking and steering. Driving and braking are carried out using the electric machine. Steering is carried out using a connected steering rod. The gearbox does not require an oil change.

X-AC drive (option)

The X-AC drive is an electrical machine with a gearbox on the rear axle which acts as a drive and deceleration aid for the travel drive on the front axle.

2.4.9 Brakes

The operator slows down the machine by releasing the accelerator pedal. A greater braking effect is achieved by operating the brake. When the machine comes to a standstill, the parking brake is automatically applied.

2.4.10 Batteries

The machine variants may be equipped with different battery types.

  • Trough battery 36 V/480 Ah PzS, 320 A wet
  • Trough battery 36 V/420 Ah PzV, 320 A maintenance free

Battery management system (BMS)

The Scrubmaster B260 R is fitted with a BMS. The BMS ensures that the battery system is monitored. The BMS is responsible for:

  • determining the battery charging state during operation
  • switching off the cleaning functions when the discharge limit has been reached to protect the battery against total discharge
Attention 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!

3.4.3 Useful cleaning tips

In short This section gives tips for wet cleaning: sweep the floor first, and treat very dirty or waxed floors twice. Leave the detergent on for about 5 to 10 minutes before scrubbing again with the squeegee lowered.‌‌​⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​‌‍⁠​‍‍⁠‌‍​​​​​⁠‌⁠​​​‌​⁠​​‌⁠​⁠​⁠⁠‌‌⁠‌‌⁠‌​⁠‍​​⁠​​⁠​

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.

Note
  • 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.

    Transport journeys on slopes of up to 10 % must only take place for a limited period of time 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.
  • The engine brake is automatically applied when the accelerator pedal is released. This also applies when ascending or descending.
  • Stop the machine: Release the accelerator pedal. Operate the operating brake for maximum deceleration.
  • When the machine is at standstill, the parking brake is activated audibly.
    It is no longer possible to push the machine, see section 3.4.5.

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.

3.4.5 Pushing the machine

In short This section explains how to move the machine by pushing it, for example when it cannot be driven. You remove the drive cover, move the pin to the ring, and pull the pin up to release the parking brake. Machines with an X-AC drive also need the rear wheel brake released.‌‌​⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​‌‍⁠​‍‍⁠‌‍​​​​​⁠‍‌​​​‌​⁠​​‍⁠⁠⁠‌​‌⁠‌​‌‌⁠⁠⁠​‌​​⁠​​​‍
Danger Risk of accident! When pushing the machine, it does not have any braking effect.
Only push the machine on a level surface!
After pushing the machine, do not re-start until the lever(s) has (have) been positioned and the cover has been fitted.
If the machine stops on an uphill or downhill gradient, call the towing service or Hako service!
Three views of the machine's drive area for pushing: left, the open drive compartment with the pin A and ring B and callout C; middle, a hand pulling the pin upwards with an arrow; right, the rear right of the machine with a lever (D) and arrow showing the right-to-left movement, plus the parking brake warning symbol on the display (E)
Fig. 22:

In order to push the machine, carry out the following steps:‌‌​⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​‌‍⁠​‍‍⁠‌‍​​​​​⁠‍‌​​​‌​⁠​​‍⁠⁠⁠‌​‌⁠‌​‌‌⁠⁠⁠​‌​​⁠​​​‍

  1. Loosen the bolts of the cover to the drive using the supplied socket wrench and remove the cover.
  2. Remove the pin Fig. 22-A from the holder and screw it into the ring Fig. 22-B.
  3. In order to unlock the parking brake, pull the pin upwards slightly Fig. 22-C and simultaneously push the machine.

If the machine has an X-AC drive, the rear wheel brake must also be unlocked. To do so, push the lever at the rear on the right side of the machine Fig. 22-D from right to left until it engages.

Indication appears on the multifunction display when the rear wheel brake is taken out of service Fig. 22-E. The machine can no longer be driven!

Disassembly is in reverse order.

Operation

3.4.6 Turning off the machine

In short This section explains how to stop and switch off the machine: bring the accelerator pedal to zero, let the parking brake engage, switch off the cleaning functions, then switch off with the key switch.‌‌​⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​‌‍⁠​‍‍⁠‌‍​​​​​⁠‍‍​​​‌​⁠​​​⁠⁠⁠​​​‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠‍‌​⁠‌⁠‍​⁠⁠⁠
  1. Slowly bring the accelerator pedal to the zero position. The machine slows down to standstill. A better braking effect is achieved when the machine is slowed down by applying the brake.
  2. When the machine is at standstill, the parking brake is activated audibly.
  3. Switch off the cleaning functions.
  4. Switch off the machine using the key switch.
Note Remove the key when leaving the machine to prevent unauthorised use.

3.4.7 Check list: after cleaning

In short This checklist lists what to do after cleaning: move to a maintenance location, switch off, empty and check the tanks, filter and sealing strips, charge the battery and clean the machine.

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.

Environmental danger Observe the applicable laws and local regulations when disposing of detergents.
Attention Do not use a high-pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to clean the machine.

Height adjustment

In short The supporting rollers are set at the factory to a distance (X) of 7 mm from the floor. If striping continues after the inclination has been adjusted, change this distance to suit the floor surface by loosening the nuts, adjusting, and tightening them again.‌‌​⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​‌‍⁠​‍‍⁠‌‍​​​​‌‌⁠‌​​​‌​⁠​​‍​‍​‍‍‍‌‌‌‌​​‍‍‍⁠‍⁠‌⁠‌​​

The height adjustment (X) of the supporting rollers Fig. 55-A has been set to 7 mm in the factory. If striping still occurs despite optimum inclination adjustment, readjust the distance between the supporting rollers and the lower edge of the sealing strip.‌‌​⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​‌‍⁠​‍‍⁠‌‍​​​​‌‌⁠‌​​​‌​⁠​​‍​‍​‍‍‍‌‌‌‌​​‍‍‍⁠‍⁠‌⁠‌​​

6.4.2 Check and correct settings

In short This section explains how to check that the pre-sweep suction unit frame sits parallel to the floor when the lever is in the sweeping position. If it does not, the unit is disconnected and the swivel bracket is unscrewed so the washers can be added or removed to change the tilt.‌‌​⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​‌‍⁠​‍‍⁠‌‍​​​​‌‍‍​​​​‌​⁠​​​‍‍‌‍⁠‌⁠⁠​‍‌⁠‌⁠‍‌‍​​⁠⁠‍‍
Side view of the machine with the pre-sweep suction unit and the area marked A circled, with an equal-distance marker (=) showing the frame parallel to the floor. Below are two views of the front linkage and bumper, one with overhead guard and one without overhead guard.
Fig. 66:

If the pre-sweep suction unit is attached to the machine and the lever is in the sweeping position (Pos. 1) Fig. 65-A, the frame must be aligned parallel to the floor.‌‌​⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​‌‍⁠​‍‍⁠‌‍​​​​‌‍‍​​​​‌​⁠​​​‍‍‌‍⁠‌⁠⁠​‍‌⁠‌⁠‍‌‍​​⁠⁠‍‍

If this is not the case, the following steps must be taken:

  1. Disconnect the pre-sweep suction unit.
  2. Unscrew the swivel bracket Fig. 65-B from the machine. The tilt angle of the frame is determined by adding or removing the washers Fig. 65-C. The following applies: the more the washers are used, the more the frame will tilt downwards at the front.
