Safety instructions
Gas, dust, steam, smoke
• Operate the machine only on adequately ventilated premises. Before starting internal
combustion engines or operating fuel-operated heating systems on enclosed premises,
ensure that there is sufficient ventilation. Observe the regulations in force at the
respective site.
• Welding, burning and grinding work on the machine may only be performed by a
Wacker Neuson dealer.
• Before performing welding, flame-cutting and grinding work, clean the machine and its
surroundings from dust and other inflammable substances, and ensure that the
premises are adequately ventilated – risk of explosions.
• In areas with special hazards (for example, toxic gases, caustic vapors, toxic environ-
ments), carry appropriate protective equipment (breathing filters, protective clothing).
Safety instructions regarding internal bombustion engines
WARNINGW
California
Proposition 65 Warning
• Engine exhaus, some of its constituents, and certaion vehicle components
contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
• Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation and fueling.
• Failure to follow the warnings and safety instructions can cause serious injury or
death.
• Keep the area around the exhaust system free of flammable materials.
• Check the engine and fuel system to leaks (loose fuel lines, for example). Do not start
or let the engine run in case of leaks.
• Breathing the exhaust fumes causes death very quickly.
• Engine exhaust contains gases you cannot see or smell (carbon monoxide and
dioxide, for example).
• Never operate the machine in enclosed premises or areas (pits, for example), if there
is no suitable ventilation (exhaust-gas filters,suction systems, for example).
• Do not operate the machine in potentially explosive areas.
• Do not touch the engine, exhaust system and cooling system as long as the engine is
still running or has not cooled down yet.
• Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is running or hot.
• The coolant is hot, under pressure and can cause serious burns.
Hydraulics
• Work on the hydraulic equipment of the machine must be performed only by persons
having specific technical knowledge and experience in hydraulic systems.
• Check all lines, hoses, fittings, and threaded couplers regularly for leaks and obvious
damage. Repair any damage and leaks immediately. Splashed oil can cause injury and
fire.
• In accordance with the Operator's Manual for the respective assembly, release the
pressure in all system sections and pressure lines (hydraulic system) to be opened
before performing any implementing/repair work.
