• Starting the machine with a battery jumper cable can be hazardous if
performed improperly. Observe the safety instructions regarding the
battery.
• Before taking up work on machine parts hazardous for life and limb
(bruising, cutting), always ensure safe blocking/support of these areas
• Perform maintenance and repair work beneath a raised machine,
attachments or additional equipment only if a safe and secure support
has been provided for (the sole use of hydraulic cylinders, jacks etc.
does not sufficiently secure raised machines or equipment/attach-
ments)
• Avoid contact with hot parts, such as the engine block or the exhaust
system during the operation of the machine and for some time after-
wards – burn hazard!
• Retainer pins can fly out or splinter when struck with force – personal
injury hazard.
• Do not use starting fuel! This especially applies to those cases in which
a heater plug (intake-air preheating) is used at the same time –
explosion hazard.
• Apply special care when working on the fuel system – increased fire
hazard.
Tracks
• Repair work on the tracks must be performed only by trained technical
staff or by a Wacker Neuson service center.
• Malfunctioning tracks reduce the machine's operational safety.
Therefore, check the tracks regularly for cracks, cuts or other damage.
• Check track tension at regular intervals.
Electric energy
• Use only original fuses with the specified current rating.
• In case of electrical system malfunctions, stop the machine immedi-
ately, disconnect the battery (by using the battery master switch), and
perform troubleshooting procedures.
• When operating the machine, maintain a safe distance from overhead
electric lines! If work must be performed close to overhead lines, the
equipment and attachments must be kept well away from them.
• If the machine comes into contact with a live wire:
• Immediately travel the machine out of the danger zone.
• Warn others against approaching and touching the machine.
• Do not leave the machine until the line that has been touched or
damaged has been safely de-energized!
• Make sure that work on the electric system is performed only by a
technician with appropriate training, in accordance with applicable
electrical engineering codes.
• Inspect and check the electrical equipment of the machine at regular
intervals. Defects such as loose connections or scorched cables must
be repaired immediately.
• Observe the operating voltage of the machine/attachments. The
voltages must be compatible (12 volts) and confirm that an appropriate
fuse or circuit breaker is incorporated in the system to prevent damage
from malfunction or short circuit.
• Always remove the grounding strap from the battery when working on
the electric system.
