• During operation, all persons must stay clear of the work area of the machine.
• Do not place the machine directly underneath the workplace during demolition,
otherwise parts can fall onto the machine or the building can collapse.
• Do not perform any demolition work under the machine, danger of tipping over!
• The machine can lose its balance and tip over if a hammer or other heavy attachment is
used. Proceed as follows to perform work both on level ground and on slopes:
☞ Never turn, lower or set down the attachment abruptly.
☞ Do not extend or retract the boom abruptly, otherwise the machine can tip over.
• Do not use the impact force of the attachment to perform demolition work. Demolished
parts can cause injury or damage to property or the equipment.
• Stop work immediately if a hydraulic hose moves back and forth. This could be a cause
for a pressure accumulator malfunction. Contact your Wacker Neuson dealer and have
the error repaired immediately.
• Close the windows and doors.
• Use the canopy version only with appropriate protective structures.

retracted.
