Safety instructions
Battery
• When handling the battery observe the specific safety instructions and regulations
relevant to accident prevention. Batteries contain sulphuric acid – caustic.
• Especially when charging batteries, as well as during normal operation of batteries, an
oxyhydrogen mixture is formed in the battery cells – danger of explosion.
• In the case of a frozen battery or of an insufficient electrolyte level, do not try start-up
with a battery jumper cable. The battery can burst or explode.
☞ Dispose of the battery immediately.
Tracks
• Check track tension at regular intervals.
• Repair work on the tracks must be performed by technical personnel or by an
authorized workshop only.
• Malfunctioning tracks reduce the machine’s operational safety. Check the tracks
regularly for:
• Cracks, cuts or other damage.
2.15 Hammer operation
If several sizes of hydraulic hammers are available for the machine, do not use
the largest possible hydraulic hammer for the Powertilt unit.
• Contact your Wacker Neuson dealer for information on the correct equipment.
• Use the canopy version only with appropriate protective structures.
– see chapter 3.33 Mounting/removing the canopy shatter protection (option) on
page 3-57
Safety instructions
• – see chapter 2.5 General conduct and safety instructions on page 2-3.
• If there is a risk of material coming off in fragments and splinters, for example when
working with a hydraulic hammer, a suitable protection, for example a protective screen
or another suitable protective facility must be installed on the machine.
• During operation, all persons must stay clear of the work area of the machine.
• Do not place the machine directly underneath the workplace during demolition,
otherwise parts can fall onto the machine or the building can collapse.
• Do not perform any demolition work under the machine. This could cause the machine
to tip over.
• The machine can lose its balance and tip over if a hammer or other heavy attachment is
used. Proceed as follows to perform work both on level ground and on slopes:
☞ Never turn, lower or set down the attachment abruptly.
☞ Do not extend or retract the boom abruptly, otherwise the machine can tip over.
• Do not use the impact force of the attachment to perform demolition work. Demolished
parts can cause injury or damage to property or the equipment.
• Stop work immediately if a hydraulic hose moves back and forth in an unusual manner.
This could be a cause for a pressure accumulator defect. Contact your Wacker Neuson
dealer and have the error repaired immediately.
• All windows and doors must be closed.
