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. 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.

2 Safety Lifting When lifting the machine, observe the following instructions: Designate a skilled person to guide you for the lifting procedure. You must be able to see or hear this person. Use only suitable and certified hoisting gear, lifting tackle and load-bearing equipment with sufficient lifting capacities.
Page 16
2 Safety Work environment Familiarize yourself with your work environment before you start work. This in- cludes e.g. the following items: Obstacles in the work and traffic area. Load-bearing capacity of the ground. The measures needed to cordon off the construction site from public traffic in particular.
Page 17
2 Safety Switching off the machine Switch off the engine in the following situations: Before breaks. If you are not using the machine. Store the machine in such a way that it cannot tilt, fall or slip. Storage location After operation, allow the machine to cool and then store it in a sealed-off, clean and dry location protected against frost and inaccessible to children.

The foundation must also have sufficient load-bearing capacity to withstand the compaction energy. In case of doubt involve a soil mechanics specialist in the evaluation. Wacker Neuson is not liable for any structural damage. Safety during the operation of combustion engines Checking for signs of damage Check the engine while switched off for leaks and cracks in the fuel line, tank and fuel cap at least once per work shift.

2 Safety Dangers during operation Combustion engines can be dangerous, particularly during operation and when refueling. Read and follow all safety instructions. Otherwise there is a risk of personal injury and/or damage to property! Do not start the engine near spilt fuel or if you smell fuel – this may cause an ex- plosion! Remove the machine from such areas.

This machine is equipped with an EPA-certified engine. Modifying the motor speed influences the EPA certification and emission. The motor may only be set by a skilled technician. For more detailed information, contact your nearest motor or Wacker Neuson representative. Health hazard due to exhaust fumes...

Maintenance work Service and maintenance work must only be carried out to the extent described in these operating instructions. All other procedures must be performed by your Wacker Neuson representative. For further information, refer to chapter Maintenance. Switching off the engine Before carrying out care or maintenance work, switch off the engine and allow it to cool down.
Page 22
In particular, avoid contact with hot operating fluids. Burn and scalding haz- ard. Dispose of replaced or spilled operating fluids according to the applicable regulations for environmental protection. If operating fluids escape from the machine, cease operation of the machine and have it repaired immediately by your Wacker Neuson representative.

Description Description Max. admissible inclination Description of function 2.2.1 The vibration required for compaction is produced by the exciter (13) which is firmly joined to the lower mass (5). This exciter (13) is designed as a central vibrator with aligned vibrations. Such a principle permits the direction of vibration to be changed by turning the eccentric weights (15).
Page 26
Description Forwards On the spot Reverse 2.2.2 The drive engine (1) anchored to the upper mass (4) drives the exciter (13). The torque is transmitted by means of a friction connection through the centrifugal clutch (11) and the exciter V-belt (12). 2.2.3 The centrifugal clutch (11) interrupts flow of power to the exciter (13) at low engine speeds and thus permits perfect idling of the drive engine...
Transport to work site/Recommendations on compaction Transport to work site/Recommendations on compaction Transport to work site Conditions: To transport the vibration plate, use only suitable lifting equipment with a minimum load-bearing capacity of 400 kg. Always switch off engine before transporting the machine! Vertically set guide handle head and lock into place.
Page 28
Transport to work site/Recommendations on compaction Recommendations on compaction 3.2.1 Ground conditions The max. compaction depth depends on several factors relating to the ground condition, such as moisture, grain distribution etc, it is therefore not possible to specify exact values. Recommendation: In each case determine the max.
Operation Operation Starting 1. Oil level check Insert dipstick in oil filler neck, but without screwing in. If oil level is low, fill to the top of the oil filler neck with high grade Fuchs Titan Unic 10W40 MC oil. 2.
Operation Starting the engine Once these points have been observed, you can start the engine as follows: 1. Turn the fuel valve to the ON position. 2. Move the choke lever to the CLOSE position. Take notice: If the engine is warm or the air temperature is high, move the control lever away from the CHOKE postion as soon as the engine starts.
Page 31
Operation Handling As the engine warms up, gradually move the choke lever to the OPEN position. Position the throttle lever for the desired engine speed. Oil alert system The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase.
Operation Stopping the engine To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the engine switch to the OFF position. Under normal conditions, use the following procedure: 1 Move the throttle lever fully to the right. 2 Turn the engine switch to the OFF position. 3 Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
Maintenance Maintenance Maintenance schedule Parts Maintenance jobs Maintenance interval Check for external damage and tight fit. Check filter Air filter cartridge, clean or replace if necessary. Fuel tank Check tank lid for tight fit, replace if necessary. daily Drive engine Check oil level, top up if necessary.
Maintenance Engine oil 5.2.1 Oil change: Drain the oil while the engine is still warm to assure rapid and complete draining. 1. Remove the oil filler cap and the drain plug to drain the oil. 2. Install the drain plug, and tighten it securely. 3.
Maintenance Dual type air filter 5.4.1 Remove the wing nut and the air filter cover. Remove the elements and separate them. Carefully check both elements for holes or tears and replace if damaged. 5.4.2 Foam element: Wash the element in a solution of household detergent and warm water, then rinse thoroughly, or wash in nonflammable or high flash point solvent.

Maintenance 3. Measure the plug gap with a feeler gauge. The gap should be 0,7 mm. Correct as necessary by bending the side electrode. 4. Check that the spark plug washer is in good condition, and thread the spark plug in by hand to prevent cross-threading. 5.

Maintenance 5.8.1 Adjusting the V-belt tension Remove belt guard. Loosen nuts situated on the motor V-belt pulley and remove outer V-belt pulley half. Remove necessary number of shims (the removal of one shim is usually suffecient). Install the remo- ved shims on the outside of the V-belt pulley. (If one shim is removed, install it on the outer half of the pulley, if two, one on the outer and one on the inner V-belt pulley half, etc.).

Maintenance 5.10 Mounting instruction 5.10.1 Exciter When disassembling exciter components, always remove eccentric weights first. When assembling, the eccentric weights have to be installed last of all. When installing exciter shafts mind marking of toothed gears. Assembly of exciter shaft is correct when all eccentric weights point down while piston is at half stroke.
Page 39
Maintenance 4. Slowly push the control handle (6) in forward direction until hydraulic oil emerges bubblefree at the connection screw. 5. Tighten connecting screw (18), mount apron (17). 6. Replenish hydraulic oil (see technical Specifications) as required, then close filler bore (15). 5.10.4 Centre pole head When disassembling the centre pole head, please mind that the piston is installed under spring tension.
Engine Engine Maschineneinsatz in größeren Höhen 6.1.1 Air is rarer at greater altitudes and the main jet of the standard carburettor supplies the engine with an extremely rich fuel-air mixture. This, in turn, leads to a loss of engine power and the consequent increase in fuel consumption.
Page 41
Engine Example: A jet size factor of 85 % should be used for a height of 1500 m (3000 feet). If the equipment is fitted out with a standard main jet # 68, the recommended jet for a height of 1500 m (3000 feet) would be # 65 jet (68 - 3 = 65).
