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

work. Such work should be carried out by Wacker Neuson service or authorized

specialists.

The safety of the operator was one of the most important aspects taken into con-

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.

No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form or by any means, elec-

tronic or mechanical, including photocopying, without the expressed written per-

form not authorized by Wacker Neuson represents an infringement of copyright

and will be prosecuted.

We expressly reserve the right to make technical modifications – even without

special notice – which aim at further improving our machines or their safety stan-

dards.

Electric power supply for electrical appliances of class rating II

Note: The rated voltage is indicated on the nameplate of your machine.

The machine may only be connected to an electric power supply with all machine

parts in proper working condition. Take special notice of the following compo-

nents:

 Plug.

 Power cable over the entire length.

 Switch diaphragm of the ON/OFF switch, if there is one.

 Plug receptacles.

Electrical appliances of class rating II have a strengthened or double insulation

(protective insulation). They have no connection to the grounded conductor.

There must be at least one of the following safety devices if connected to a sta-

tionary or mobile generator:

 Fault current protective switch.

 Isolation (earth leakage) monitor.

 IT-net.

Note: Observe the respective national safety regulations!

Extension cable

The machine may only be operated with undamaged and tested extension ca-

bles!

Only use extension cables with grounded conductor and correct connection of

the grounded conductor to the plug and coupling (only for machines of class rat-

ing I, see chapter Technical data).

Only use tested extension cables which are suitable for use at construction sites:

Average rubber hose H05RN-F or better – Wacker Neuson recommends

H07RN-F, an SOOW cable, or a country-specific equivalent design.

Immediately replace damaged extension cables (e.g. tears in the sheathing) or

loose plugs and couplings.

Cable drums and multiple plug receptacles must fulfill the same requirements as

the extension cable.

Protect extension cables, multiple plug receptacles, cable drums and connection

couplings against rain, snow or any other forms of moisture.

Uncoil the cable drum completely

Danger of fire due to wound cable drum.

Uncoil the cable drum completely before operation.

3 Safety

18 Operator's manual

Do not unplug the power cable by pulling on the cable.

Protect the power cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.

If the power cable is damaged or the plug is loose, have it replaced immediately

by your Wacker Neuson representative.

Protecting from moisture

Protect the machine against rain, snow or any other forms of moisture. This could

cause damage or other malfunctions.

Protecting against extreme high or low temperatures

Do not expose the machine to extreme high or low temperatures. Otherwise the

insulation current conducting parts can be damaged.
