5 Operation 5.11 Work operation Danger zone • The danger zone is the area in which persons are in danger due to the movements of the machine, attachment or load. • The danger zone also includes the area that can be affected by falling material, equipment or by parts that are thrown out.
Page 145 Operation 5 Danger zone during lifting-gear applications In lifting gear applications the load must be stabilized by slingers (B) with the help of ropes (C). Slingers must remain out of the danger zone – see chapter “ Lifting gear applications” on page 5-30.
Page 146 5 Operation Inadmissible work procedures Inadmissible operation can damage the machine or the attachment. Working with the swivel force Do not use the swivel force of the upper carriage to tear down walls or to create level surfaces. Never ram the attachment into the ground when swiveling the upper carriage.
Page 147 Operation 5 Working with the falling force by lowering the machine Do not use the dead weight of the machine for work. Use the force of the hydraulic cylinders exclusively. Fig. 164 Fig. 165 Fully lowering the stabilizer blade Apply the full weight of the machine over the entire width of the stabilizer blade when using it for stabilization.
Page 148 5 Operation General information regarding work operation Machine travel Performing machine travel over obstacles can put a heavy load on the undercarriage and cause damage. Avoid performing machine travel over obstacles if possible. If it cannot be avoided, lower the boom to ground level and travel over the obstacle at low speed.
Page 149 Operation 5 Working with the bucket The following section describes work operations with the machine equipped with a backhoe bucket. The backhoe bucket is mainly used for earth-moving applications (digging, loosening, picking up and loading loose or solid material). Place the stabilizer blade on the side you want to dig. Bucket position when digging Perform long, level excavation movements with the stick and the bucket.
Page 150 5 Operation Loading material Notes on loading site dumpers: - Position the site dumper so that its cabin is outside the danger zone of the excavator. - The loading platform of the truck is loaded by starting at the rear end. - Keep the swivel angle as small as possible.
Page 151 ► The piston rod must not touch the stabilizer blade. Fig. 176 Hints for digging When planning and performing digging work, Wacker Neuson recommends that you observe the following points: • Exits from pits must be outside the digging line and as level as possible.
