1 Foreword

1Foreword

This operator's manual contains information and procedures for the safe opera-

tion and maintenance of your Wacker Neuson machine. In the interest of your

own safety and to prevent accidents, you should carefully read through the safety

information, familiarize yourself with it and observe it at all times.

This operator's manual is not a manual for extensive maintenance and repair

sideration when this machine was designed. Nevertheless, improper use or in-

correct maintenance can pose a risk. Please operate and maintain your Wacker

Neuson machine in accordance with the instructions in this operator's manual.

Your reward will be troublefree operation and a high degree of availability.

Defective machine parts must be replaced immediately!

Please contact your Wacker Neuson representative if you have any questions

concerning operation or maintenance.

2.3 Protective gear

Work clothing

Clothing should be appropriate, i.e. should be close-fitting but not restrict your

movement.

When on construction sites, do not wear long hair loosely, loose clothing or jew-

elry including rings. These objects can easily get caught or be drawn in by mov-

ing machine parts.

Only wear clothing made of material that is not easily flammable.

Personal protective gear

Wear personal protective gear to avoid injuries or health hazards:

Non-skid, hard-toed shoes.

Work gloves made of durable material.

Overalls made of durable material.

Hard hat.

Ear protection.

Ear protection

This machine generates noise that exceeds the country-specific permissible

noise levels (individual rating level). It may therefore be necessary to wear ear

protection. You can find the exact value in the chapter Technical Data.

When wearing ear protection while working, you must pay attention and exercise

caution because your hearing is limited, e.g. in case someone screams or a sig-

nal tone sounds.

Wacker Neuson recommends that you always wear ear protection.

2.4 Transport

Switching off the machine

Before you transport the machine, it must be switched off, and the engine must

be given sufficient time to cool down.

Center pole in transport position

Before commencing transport, move the center pole to the transport position. Let

the center pole latch into its lock.

Observing hazardous materials regulations

Observe the national safety guidelines and the hazardous materials regulations

that apply to the respective means of transportation.
