  • Page 15 Preparing to use the machine Conditions for use • The machine has been designed and built in accordance with state-of- the-art standards and recognized safety regulations. Nevertheless, its use can constitute a risk to the operator or to third parties, or cause damage to the machine and to other material property.
  • Page 16 NEVER make any modifications, additions or conversions to the machine and its superstructures (for example, cab, etc.), or the machine’s attachments, without the approval of Wacker Neuson! Such modifications may affect safety and/or machine performance. This also applies to the installation and adjustment of safety devices and valves, as well as to welding work on load-bearing elements.
  • Page 17 • The lifting gear must be checked regularly by a technician, at least once a year. • Replace damaged lifting gear immediately. • Fasten lifting gear and slings avoiding hazards (rotating parts, crushing or shearing) for the person securing the load. Furthermore, neither must the work equipment be affected by the lifting gear, nor must the functions of the lifting gear be affected by external influences (e.g.
  • Page 18 Operator and Technician Qualifications and Basic Responsibili- ties Operator/machine owner responsibility • Only allow trained and experienced individuals to travel, maintain, or repair the machine. NEVER let unauthorized or underaged persons operate with the machine. • Clearly and unequivocally define the individual responsibilities of the operator and technician for operation, maintenance, and repair.
  • Page 19 • Careful and prudent working is the best way to avoid accidents!Keep the machine clean. This reduces the risk of fire hazards (such as from combustible materials like rags), and reduces the risk of injury or operational accidents that can be caused by dirt build-up on the travel pedals or foot rests and steps.
  • Page 20 Danger zone awareness • The danger zone is the area in which persons are jeopardized due to the movements of the machine, machine operation equipment, additional equipment, or material. • The danger zone also includes the area affected by falling material, equipment or construction debris.
  • Page 21 • Check the machine before entering the cab to operate 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, stop the machine immedi- ately, lock it, and report the malfunction to a qualified tecnician or supervisor.
  • Page 22 • Machine travel with a raised load must be done very carefully on a level surface moving very slowly to avoid sudden motion that can cause swinging or oscillating motion of the load. • The person(s) attaching the load to the excavator shall approach only if the operator is in visual contact with them.
  • Page 23 • Prior to fitting attachments to the stick (the mobile extension of the boom), secure the control lever of the hydraulic control unit against unintentional movement. Raise the left arm rest to avoid unintentional activation for the ISO/SAE operating mode. Avoid actuating the right hand control if the alternative control mode is selected.
  • Page 24 • Observe the specific safety instructions in the Maintenance section of this Operator’s Manual. • Always keep a safe distance from all rotating and moving parts, for example, fan blades, V-belt drives, PTO shaft drives, fans, etc. • Before starting work on the machine, always ensure safe blocking/ support.
  • Page 25 • Wear a safety harness when performing elevated maintenance on or with the machine. Keep all handles, steps, handrails, platforms, landings, and ladders free from dirt, snow and ice. • Always use specially designed or otherwise safety-oriented ladders and working platforms to perform overhead assembly work. NEVER use machine parts or attachments/superstructures as a climbing aid! •...
  • Page 26 Tracks • Repair work on the tracks must be performed only by trained technical staff or by a Wacker Neuson service center. • Malfunctioning tracks reduce the machine's operational safety. Therefore, check the tracks regularly for cracks, cuts or other damage.
  • Page 27 Hydraulics • Check all lines, hoses, and threaded couplers and fittings regularly for leaks and obvious damage. Repair any damage and leaks immedi- ately. Splashed oil can cause injury and fire! • In accordance with the Operator's Manual/instructions for the respective assembly, release the pressure in all system sections and pressure lines (hydraulic system) to be opened before perform any implementing/repair work!
