Safety instructions
2.8 Warning of special hazards
Electrical energy
• Use only original fuses with the specified current rating!
Switch off the machine immediately and rectify the malfunction if trouble occurs in the
electrical system!
• During machine operation, maintain a safe distance from overhead electric lines! If
work must be performed close to overhead lines, the equipment/attachments must be
kept well away from them. Caution, danger! Get informed on the prescribed safety
distances!
• If your machine comes into contact with a live wire
• Warn others against approaching and touching the machine
• Have the live wire de-energized
• Do not leave the machine until the line that has been touched or damaged has been
safely de-energized!
• Work on the electrical system may only be performed by a technician with appropriate
training, in accordance with the applicable electrical engineering rules
• Inspect and check the electric equipment of the machine at regular intervals.
Deficiencies such as loose connections or worn cables must be rectified immediately.
• Observe the machine’s operating voltage!
• Always remove the grounding strap from the battery when working on the electrical
system or when performing welding work!
• Starting with battery jumper cables can be hazardous if performed improperly. Observe
the safety instructions regarding the battery!
Gas, dust, steam, smoke
• Operate the machine only on appropriately ventilated premises! Before starting the
internal combustion engine on enclosed premises, ensure that there is sufficient venti-
lation!
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. Risk of fire and explosion!
• Before performing welding, flame-cutting and grinding work, clean the machine and its
surroundings from dust and other flammable substances, and ensure that the premises
are appropriately ventilated – explosion hazard!
• In areas with special hazards (for example toxic gases, caustic vapors, toxic environ-
ments), wear appropriate protective equipment (breathing filters, protective clothing)!
Hydraulic
• Work on the hydraulic equipment of the Easy Lock offset bucket must be performed
only by persons having specific technical knowledge and experience in hydraulic
systems!
• Check all lines, hoses and screw connections 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/instructions 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!
• Hydraulic and compressed-air lines must be laid and fitted properly. Ensure that no
connections are interchanged. The fittings, lengths and quality of the hoses must
comply with the technical requirements
