time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.
Do not attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running.
Rotating parts can cause severe injury.
DO NOT remove air cleaner cover, paper element, or precleaner while
engine is running.
Do not use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to
clean parts, especially in enclosed areas. Fumes from fuels and
solvents can become explosive.
Reinstall the safety devices and guards after repairs and maintenance.
Replace worn or damaged components with spare parts designed and
approved by Wacker Neuson.

hard-to-read labels. Labels provide important operating instructions
and warn of dangers and hazards.
ALWAYS check all external fasteners at regular intervals.
ALWAYS make sure slings, chains, hooks, ramps, jacks, and other
types of lifting devices are attached securely and have enough weight-
bearing capacity to lift or hold the machine safely. Always remain
aware of the location of other people in the area when lifting the
machine.
