Supplementary Operator’s Manual for Protective Structures for Excavators
Shatter protection (option)
Stabbing/puncture/crushing hazard from falling objects
(fragments or splinters) projected from front of machine.
Objects will cause severe injury or death.
• A shatter protection must be installed on a canopy version if an attachment (a
hammer, for instance) causes fragments to fly. This shatter protection takes
over the function of a front window.
• Pay attention to the restricted work range (see fig. 13 and 14).
• For 803 machines up to serial number AI00966, operation with an attachment
causing fragments to fly is absolutely prohibited.
Accident hazard in conditions of restricted visibility due to
rain, snowfall, dust etc..
Could causes severe injury or death.
• Stop work immediately.
The shatter protection (canopy option) protects the driver against fragments
from the front.
• Follow all local, state, or national regulations covering falling objects.
• The operator must ensure that only work is performed that does not require any
higher protection.
• Accidents cannot be fully avoided despite equipping a machine with protective
structures.
Do not use brushes, steel wool or other abrasive cleaners for cleaning the
polycarbonate disc. Do not wipe dust in a dry state.
Protective structures may only be installed or removed by an authorized
Wacker Neuson Service Center.
