Protective structures
Protective structures are additional elements that protect the operator
against hazards. These elements can be installed later on or as standard
equipment.
Accident hazard due to modified cabin or protective structures!
Modifications (for example drilling) weaken the structure and causes
serious injury or death.
► No drilling, cutting or grinding.
► Do not install any brackets.
► No welding, straightening or bending.
► Replace the complete protective structure if it is damaged, deformed or
cracked.
► Contact a Wacker Neuson service center in case of doubt.
► Retrofit, assembly and repair work may only be performed by a
Wacker Neuson service center.
► Replace self-locking fasteners.
► Screws to which an adhesive has been applied must be cleaned with a
suitable cleanser before they are re-used.
Machine operation is only allowed with a correctly installed and intact
rollbar or correctly installed and intact cabin.
For additional protection, only use correctly installed and intact Wacker
Neuson protective structures that have been released for the machine.
Responsibility for machine equipped with protective structures
The decision regarding the necessary protective structures (type and
level I or II) must be made by the company/person operating the machine
and depends on the specific work situation.
The operating company of the machine must observe the national
regulations and he must inform the operator on the protective structure to
be used in a specific work situation.
