wc_tx004256gb_FM10.fm 2-17

2

• Recognition of possible risk situations.

• Safe working by making the correct decisions for man, machine and

the environment.

The operator is at risk if the machine is not operated correctly.

Follow the operating procedures and instructions described for the

machine.

Application area

Be aware of the application area.

• Keep unauthorized personnel, children, and pets away from the

machine.

• Remain aware of changing positions and the movement of other

equipment and personnel in the application area/job site.

• Remain aware of changing surface conditions and use extra care when

operating over uneven ground, on hills, or over soft or coarse material.

The machine could shift or slide unexpectedly.

• Use caution when operating the machine near the edges of pits,

trenches or platforms. Check to be sure that ground surface is stable

enough to support the weight of the machine with operator and that

there is no danger of the machine sliding, falling or tipping.

• Do not operate the machine in areas that contain flammable objects,

fuels, or products that produce flammable vapors.

• Keep the area around the muffler free of debris such as leaves, paper,

cartons, etc. A hot muffler could ignite the debris and start a fire.

• When operating the machine in contaminated areas, take appropriate

measures to protect the operator and the machine.

2-18 wc_tx004256gb_FM10.fm

2

Avoid the following risks:

• Risk of cave-in – do not drive up to the edge of an unsecured pit.

• Risk of collapse – do not undermine the foundations of walls.

• Risk of falling stones, earth and debris – do not load under projecting

earth.

• Risk of tipping over – do not excavate deeply under the front side of the

machine. The earth under the machine could collapse.

• Risk of tipping over – do not perform demolition work under the

machine.

Demolition or excavation work

• When working on roofs or similar structures, check the resistance and

the structure itself before starting work. The building can collapse,

causing serious injury, death and damage.

• Do not place the machine directly under the workplace during

demolition. Parts can fall onto the machine or the building can

collapse, causing serious injury, death and damage.

• Do not use the impact force of the attachment to perform demolition

work. This can cause serious injury, death and damage.

• The machine can lose its balance and tip over if heavy attachments

(demolition hammers, for example) are used. Proceed as follows when

performing such work:

- Never lower, turn or set down the attachment abruptly.

- Do not extend or retract the bucket cylinder abruptly, otherwise the

machine can tip over.

• Do not raise the loader unit and the attachment over the heads of other

workers or over the seats of trucks or of other means of transport. The

material can tip over, or the attachment can knock against the truck

and cause serious injury, death or damage.

• Unauthorized persons are not allowed to operate the machine.

• Look out for high-voltage lines, underground cables, gas and water

pipes, etc., during excavation work.

Risk zone awareness

• The risk zone is the area in which persons are at risk due to the

movements of the machine, work equipment, additional equipment, or

material.

• The risk zone also includes areas affected by falling material,

equipment, or constructions debris. The risk zone must be extended in

the immediate vicinity of buildings, scaffolds, or other elements of

construction.

• Seal off the risk zone if it is not possible to keep a safe distance. Stop

work immediately if persons do not leave the risk zone in spite of

or inoperative.

• Do not modify or defeat the safety devices.

• Only use accessories or attachments that are approved by Wacker

Neuson.

Safe operating practices

When operating this machine, do:

• Remain aware of the machine’s moving parts. Keep hands, feet, and

loose clothing away from the machine’s moving parts.

• Always remain seated and wear the seat belt at all times while

operating the machine.

• Know the machine’s lifting capacity. Do not exceed the Rated

Operating Capacity (ROC) for the machine. See chapter Technical

Data.

When operating this machine:

• Do not operate a machine in need of repair.

• Do not attempt to start the machine when standing alongside it. Only

start the engine when seated in the driver's seat, with the seat belt

fastened and with the controls in the neutral position.

• Do not leave the machine running unattended.

• Do not use a mobile device while operating this machine.

• Do not consume the operating fluids used in this machine.

• Do not use the machine as a crane. Compact loaders are not approved

for craning applications. These craning applications include raising,

transporting, and lowering point loads with the help of slings and load-

securing devices (for example, ropes and chains). This applies, for

example, to lifting and lowering pipes, shaft rings or containers.

Preparing for use

• Keep the machine clean. This reduces the risk of fire hazards, such as

combustible material around the engine, and reduces the risk of injury

or operational accidents that can be caused by dirt build-up on the

accelerator pedal, mirrors (if equipped) or foot rests and steps.

• Follow all safety, warning, and information signs and labels on the

machine.

Before machine operation

• The operator must sit in the seat, fasten and adjust the seat belt, and

check if all mirrors (if equipped) are adjusted correctly before putting

the machine into operation.

• Inspect the seat belt for any damage. Replace worn or damaged

components.

• Always adjust the seat position before starting work. Do not change the

seat position during machine operation or machine travel.

• Make sure that all safety devices are properly installed and functional

before starting work.

• Make sure the brakes, all controls, and the signalling and lighting

systems are functional before machine operation, and also before

restarting after an interruption of work.

• Before putting the machine/attachment into operation (starting/

moving), make sure that no one in the immediate vicinity will be at risk.

Machine operation

• When entering and exiting the machine, face the machine and use

three points of contact with the handholds and steps.

• Start and operate the machine only when you are seated and you have

fastened your seat belt. Stop the engine before releasing the seat belt.

• During operation on slopes, move or work uphill or downhill. If traveling

across a slope cannot be avoided, bear in mind the tilting limit of the

machine and the ground conditions. Always keep the attachments or

work equipment close to the ground. Keeping the load low applies to all

movements on slope, up, down and across. When traveling or

operating on a slope, the load must be on the uphill side of the

machine.

• On sloping terrain, always adapt your travel speed to the prevailing

ground conditions.

• Never get on or off a moving machine, and do not jump off the

machine.

• The machine’s controls require practice before an operator becomes

familiar with their responses. Therefore, adjust travel speed to your

abilities and the surroundings.

• The machine may have selectable ground drive and loader controls.

Make sure to understand how the machine will operate with the

selected control pattern.

• Do not allow anyone underneath a raised load.

• Do not operate the machine before it has reached it‘s operating

temperature.

Mechanical integrity

• Take the necessary precautions to make sure the machine is used

only when in a safe and serviceable condition.

• Operate the machine only if all protective and safety-oriented devices

(rollover protection structure [ROPS], removable safety devices,

soundproofing elements, mufflers, etc.) are in place and fully

functional.

• Do not modify the ROPS or falling object protective structure (FOPS) in

any way unless instructed by the manufacturer. Unauthorized modifi-

cations such as welding, drilling, cutting, or adding attachments could

weaken the structure. If they become damaged or if a rollover occurs,

replace the ROPS or FOPS. Do not attempt to repair them.

• Check the machine for visible damage and defects. Report any

changes, including changes in the machine's function and response, to

your supervisor immediately.

• If the machine is functioning unpredictably or in event of malfunctions,

turn off the machine immediately, remove the starting key, lock the

front door (if equipped) and report the malfunction to a qualified

technician or supervisor. Safety-relevant damage or malfunctions of

the machine must be repaired immediately.
