• The machine can suddenly tip, sink, or fall when moved onto surfaces
that have newly filled earth.
• Drive slowly when operating on rough terrain.
Operating over curbs
• The machine tips quickly forward or backward as it travels over a curb.
Keep feet and body inside the operator’s station and away from the
tracks at all times.
• Do not drive the machine in reverse over a curb with no load or the lift
arm raised.
• If repeatedly driving over a curb is necessary, build a dirt ramp to make
the ascent more gradual.
6.20 Using the Manual Coupler
A coupler is a device for mounting and removing attachments without the aid
of tools.
WARNING
Crushing hazard
► Keep others clear of the area while mounting or removing attachments.
► Keep hands clear of the area while mounting or removing attachments.
► After the attachment has been mounted, check the coupler lower pin en-
gagement to make sure the attachment is secured. This will prevent the
attachment from falling off during machine operation.
► Set the attachment on level ground when removing it to ensure stability.
Notes
• Use only attachments that are approved by Wacker Neuson.
• Read and understand the instructions for use and operation of any at-
tachment used on this machine.
• Make sure the mounting pad on the attachment is clear of any debris to
allow to proper mounting of the attachment.
