5.1 Introduction
Operational readiness and the service life of machines are heavily dependent on mainte-
nance.
It is therefore in the interest of the machine owner to perform the prescribed maintenance
work.
Before performing service and maintenance work, always read, understand and follow the
instructions given in:
• Chapter 2 “SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” of this Operator's Manual
• The Operator's Manuals of the attachments.
Perform the prescribed inspections and rectify any malfunctions before putting the
machine into operation.
Secure open (engine) covers appropriately. Do not open (engine) covers on slopes or in
strong wind.
Dirt can be blown and cause severe injuries when using compressed air. Always wear pro-
tective goggles, masks and clothing.
Daily service and maintenance work, and maintenance according to maintenance plan
“A” must be performed by an qualified operator. All other maintenance work must be per-
formed by an authorized Wacker Neuson service center.
The maintenance plans indicate when the maintenance work mentioned below must be
performed – see Maintenance plan (overview) on page 5-35.
