7.1 Information on maintenance
Responsibilities and prerequisites
The working order and the service life of machines are heavily dependent
on maintenance.
Daily and weekly servicing and maintenance must be performed by
specifically trained personnel.
Have the maintenance, delivery inspection and the entries in the service
booklet performed by a Wacker Neuson service center, otherwise
warranty claims will not be acknowledged. It is therefore in the interest of
the machine owner to perform the mandatory maintenance. This ensures
optimal machine operation.
Immediately repair or replace parts that are already damaged or not
working correctly before they are due for replacement.
Have repair or replacement of safety-relevant parts performed only by a
Wacker Neuson service center.
Use only original spare parts for repairs.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for damage to the machine or
personal injury caused by failure to observe the specific information and
descriptions.
Important safety instructions on maintenance
• Follow all safety instructions given in this Operator’s Manual.
• Follow the instructions given in chapter Safety, safety instructions
on maintenance and qualification of the operating and mainte-
nance personnel in this Operator’s Manual.
• Wear protective equipment (for example hard hat, safety glasses,
protective gloves, safety boots).
• Observe the danger indications and safety instructions during maintenance.
• In order to avoid injury hazard, do not perform work on a hot and
running engine.
• Use a suitable container to collect fluids and lubricants as they flow out
and dispose of them in an environmentally friendly manner.
• Attach a warning label to the control elements (for example “Machine
being serviced, do not start”).
• Stop and park the machine. Stop the engine – see “Preparing lubri-
cation” on page 7-8.
• In order to avoid damage to electronic components, do not perform
welding work on the machine. Contact a Wacker Neuson service center.
• High engine load or a manual regeneration of the particulate matter
catalyst can lead to shorter engine oil maintenance intervals. Output is
reduced if the machine is used beyond the maintenance interval. If the
machine is operated less than 500 hours per year the engine oil must
be changed once a year.
