Maintenance
Inside the cabin
Never use high-pressure cleaners, steam jets or high-pressure water to clean
inside the cabin. Water under high pressure can
• penetrate into the electrical system and cause short circuits and
• damage seals and disable the controls!
We recommend using the following aids to clean the cabin:
• Damp cloth
•Brush
• Water with mild soap solution
Cleaning the seat belt:
• Clean the seat belt (which remains fitted in the machine) only with a mild soap solution;
do not use chemical agents as they can destroy the fabric!
Exterior of the machine The following articles are generally suitable:
• High-pressure cleaner
• Steam jet
Engine compartment
Clean the engine only when it is at a standstill –
Injury hazard!
☞ Stop the engine before cleaning it
When cleaning the engine with a water or steam jet
☞ The engine must be cold
☞ and do not point the jet directly at electric sensors such as the oil pressure
switch.
The humidity penetrating any such sensors causes them to fail and leads to
engine damage!
Threaded fittings and attachments
All threaded fittings must be checked regularly for tightness, even if they are not listed in
the maintenance schedules. This applies in particular to:
☞ Engine fastening screws
☞ Fastening screws on the hydraulic system
☞ Bucket teeth and pin fastenings on the attachment
Retighten loose connections immediately. Contact a Wacker Neuson service center if nec-
essary.
Pivots and hinges
All mechanical pivot points on the machine (for example door hinges, joints) and fittings
(for example door arresters) must be lubricated regularly, even if they are not listed in the
lubrication schedule.
