1 Preface

1.1 Operator’s manual

Information on this Operator’s Manual

This operator’s manual describes how to operate and perform

maintenance on the machine. It conveys to the operating and

maintenance personnel the necessary knowledge of the functional

relationships for the safe handling, proper maintenance/inspection,

cleaning and care as well as compliance with the technical safety

provisions of the vehicle.

Your own safety, as well as the safety of others, depends to a great extent

on how the machine is moved and operated. Therefore, carefully read and

understand this Operator’s Manual prior to the first drive. By reading the

Operator’s Manual, the operator familiarizes himself more quickly with the

machine, and uses it more safely and efficiently.

If required, the user/owner of the machine must supplement the operator’s

manual with instructions and regulations regarding environmental

protection and national accident prevention regulations.

The operational safety and readiness of the vehicle to be used do not only

depend on the operator’s skills, but also on maintenance and servicing of

the vehicle. This is why regular maintenance and servicing is absolutely

necessary. An overview of the maintenance and service work can be

found in chapter Information on cleaning and maintenance on page 7-14.

An inspection booklet is also supplied with the machine.

Information

The maintenance and repair work that is not specified in this Operator’s

Manual may only be performed by an authorized service center.

The operator's manual is to be read and applied by all people who work

with or on the vehicle, such as for:

• Operation, including setting up, rectifying malfunctions during

operation, maintenance, disposal of auxiliary and operating material,

and disposal of the entire machine.

• Repairs (inspection, maintenance).

• Transportation.

Your dealer and the Wacker Neuson service team will be happy to answer

any questions you may have on this Operator’s Manual.

All technical indications in this Operator’s Manual refer to series models

tested under standard operating conditions for Central Europe and

describe the standard functions of these series models. The equipment

and its functional modes and accessories depend on the relevant model

and the product options, as well as on the national requirements.

Illustrations may show optional/additional equipment that is not mentioned

in the text or not supplied as standard.

2.3 Conduct

Prerequisites for operation

• The vehicle has been designed and built in accordance with state-of-

the-art standards and the recognized safety regulations.

Nevertheless its use can cause danger to the operator or other

persons, or damage to the vehicle.

• Store this operator’s manual in the place provided for this in or on the

vehicle. Immediately replace a damaged or illegible operator’s manual

and any supplements to it.

• The vehicle must only be operated in accordance with its designated

use and the instructions set forth in this operator’s manual.

• The operator and owner are obligated not to put into operation or

operate a damaged or malfunctioning vehicle.

- If a damage or malfunction occurs during operation, put the machine

out of operation immediately and secure it against restart.

- Have all malfunctions jeopardizing the safety of the operator or other

persons immediately repaired by an authorized service center.

• Do not put the vehicle into operation or operate it after an accident;

have it inspected for damage by an authorized service center.

- Have the seat belt replaced by an authorized service center after an

accident, even if there is no visible damage.

- Cabin and protective structures

2.4 Operating

Preparatory measures

• Operation is only allowed with correctly installed and intact protective

structures.

• Keep the vehicle clean. This reduces injury, accident and fire hazards.

• Securely stow carried objects in the designated places (e.g. storage

compartment, drink container).

• Do not carry objects with you that protrude into the operator’s work

space. They can create another danger in case of an accident.

• Observe all safety, warning and information labels.

Safety 2

Job site

• The operator is responsible for other persons.

• Before starting work, familiarize yourself with the job site. This applies

to, for example:

- Obstacles in the job site and vehicle travel area

- Any barriers separating the job site from public roads

- Soil weight-bearing capacity

- Existing overhead and underground lines

- Special operating conditions (for example dust, steam, smoke,

asbestos)

• The operator must know the maximum dimensions of the vehicle and

the attachment – see “Technical data”.

• Maintain a sufficient distance when required (e.g. building, edge of

excavation).

• During work in buildings or in enclosed areas, look out for:

- Height of the ceiling/clearances

- Width of entries/passages

- Maximum load of ceilings and floors

- Sufficient room ventilation (e.g. danger of carbon monoxide

poisoning)

• Use existing visual aids to stay aware of the danger zone.

• In conditions of darkness and poor visibility, switch on existing work

lights and ensure that motorists are not blinded by these lights.

• If the existing lights of the vehicle are not sufficient for performing work

safely, ensure additional lighting of the job site.

• Maintain a sufficient distance to easily flammable substances due to

the hot vehicle parts (e.g. hay, dry leaves).

Danger zone

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

movements of the vehicle, attachment and/or load.

• The danger zone also includes the area that can be affected by falling

material, equipment or by parts that are thrown out.

• Extend the danger zone sufficiently in the immediate vicinity of

buildings, scaffolds or other elements of construction.

• Seal off the danger zone should it not be possible to keep a sufficient

safety distance.

• Stop vehicle operation immediately if persons do not stay clear of the

danger zone.

- Avoid vehicle travel across a slope, observe the vehicle’s permissible

inclination (and of the trailer if necessary).

- Keep loads on the uphill side of the vehicle and as close as possible

to it.

- Keep attachments/work equipment close to the ground.

• Adjust the travel speed to the conditions (e.g. ground conditions,

weather conditions).

• There is increased danger during backward vehicle travel. Persons in

the blind spot of the vehicle cannot be seen by the operator.

- Ensure that nobody is in the danger zone when you change the

travel direction.

• Never get on a moving vehicle and never jump off the vehicle.

parts. Loads must be fastened so as to prevent them from slipping or

falling.

• Move loads only on horizontal, level and firm ground.

• Move loads close to the ground.

• In order to avoid oscillating movements of loads:

- Perform smooth, slow movements with the vehicle.

- Use cables to guide the load (do not use hands to guide).

- Note the weather conditions (e.g. wind strength).

- Keep a minimum safety distance from objects.

• The operator may allow the load to be fastened and removed only if

the vehicle and its work equipment are not being moved.

• Danger zones must not overlap with the work zones of other vehicles.
