Why is my HAKO PowerBoss Nautilus Scrubber engine overheating?
K
Katherine LoganAug 22, 2025
If your HAKO Scrubber's engine overheats, it could be due to several reasons. The coolant level might be low, so you should supply coolant. The fan blade could be installed incorrectly and needs reinstalling as a pusher type fan. A clogged radiator should be flushed. A loose fan belt needs tightening, or the thermostat might be defective and requires replacement.

kelly73Aug 25, 2025
If the HAKO Nautilus® machine moves slowly or does not move, check the following: Ensure the parking brake is released. Clear any jams or adjust the linkage if the directional control pedal is jammed, damaged, or not adjusted properly. Make sure the tow valve is in the drive position, not the tow position. Add hydraulic fluid if the level is low. If the hydraulic fluid temperature is too high and too thin, use the proper weight oil for the operating conditions and check the pump. Replace the Hayes coupler if it has failed. Ensure the tow valve is correctly set.

Why is HAKO Scrubber's water pick-up poor?
K
kirkkatherineAug 27, 2025
If your HAKO Scrubber experiences poor water pick-up, the recovery tank might be full, requiring you to empty it and change the detergent if it's foaming badly. The squeegee could be worn and needs replacement. Debris caught in the squeegee or pick-up tube should be removed. A leak or clog in the hose from the impeller needs repairing, clearing, or hose replacement. The squeegee might be out of adjustment and needs adjusting. Ensure the engine is operating at high speed by checking the throttle switch position. Also, check and repair any impeller failure.

If the HAKO Scrubber is leaving debris, the hopper might be full, requiring you to dump it. The brushes could be out of adjustment and need adjusting. Check the brush bristles for wear and adjust them as needed. Also, check for any jams in the broom chamber if the brush drive mechanism has poor performance. Replace or adjust the clearance of damaged or missing hopper flaps.

Jimmy StanleyAug 31, 2025
If solution is not being delivered by your HAKO Scrubber, the solution tank might be empty, so fill it. The solution flow valve might not be functioning, so check the broom switch and pressure switches at the main pump. Clear any clogs in the delivery lines. Ensure the forward/reverse pedal is depressed. Clean the clogged solution filter element. Also, clean any clogs in the solution bar discharge holes.

Why is the hydraulic system of my HAKO Scrubber noisy?
J
Joel HerreraSep 2, 2025
If the hydraulic system of your HAKO is noisy, it could be due to air in the system; check the fluid level in the reservoir and look for loose connections or leaks. The relief valve might be dirty or damaged, requiring cleaning or replacement. Tighten the fittings if the suction line is loose. Replace the filter and clear the line if the section filter or pump inlet line is clogged; change the fluid in the reservoir if it's dirty and flush the system. Inspect and repair any internal pump or motor damage.
