1.1 Important information on this Operator’s Manual

Please store the Operator’s Manual in the storage bin under the engine cover. This Operator’s Manual contains important information on how to work safely, correctly
and economically with the machine. Therefore, it aims not only at new operators, but it also serves as a reference for experienced ones. It helps to avoid hazardous situations and reduce repair costs and downtimes. Furthermore, the reliability and the service life of the machine will be increased by following the instructions in the Operator’s Manual. This is why the Operator’s Manual must always be kept at hand in the machine.
Your own safety, as well as the safety of others, depends to a great extent on how the machine is moved and operated. Therefore, carefully read and understand this Operator’s Manual prior to the first drive. This Operator’s Manual will help to familiarize yourself more easily with the machine, thereby enabling you to use it more safely and efficiently.
Prior to the first drive, carefully read chapter “Safety Instructions” as well, in order to be prepared for possible dangerous situations, as it will be too late for it during operation. As a rule, keep the following in mind:
Careful and prudent working is the best way to avoid accidents!
Operational safety and readiness of the machine do not only depend on your skill, but also on maintenance and servicing of the machine. This is why regular maintenance and ser­vicing is absolutely necessary. Extensive maintenance and repair work must always be performed by an expert with appropriate training. Insist on using original spare parts when performing maintenance and repair work. This ensures operational safety and readiness of your machine, and maintains its value.
Your Wacker Neuson dealer will be happy to answer any further questions regarding the machine or the Operator’s Manual.

2.6 Safety instructions regarding operation

Normal operation

• Avoid any operational mode that might be prejudicial to safety!
• Before beginning machine operation, familiarize yourself with the surroundings and circumstances of the work site. These are e.g. obstacles in the traveling area or the job site, the soil bearing capacity and any necessary barriers separating the work site from public roads
• Take the necessary precautions to make sure the machine is used only when in a safe and reliable state! Operate the machine only if all protective and safety-oriented devices, e.g. removable safety-devices, soundproofing elements and mufflers etc., are in place and fully functional!
• Check the machine at least once a day/per work shift for visible damage and defects. Report any changes (incl. changes in the machine's operational behavior) to the competent organization/person immediately! If necessary, stop the machine immedi­ately and lock it!
• In the event of malfunctions, stop the machine immediately and lock it! Have any defects rectified immediately!
• Start and operate the machine from the operator‘s seat only!
• Perform start-up and shut-down procedures in accordance with the Operator's Manual, and observe the indicators!
• Before putting the machine into operation (start-up/moving), make sure no one is at risk by putting the machine into operation!
• Before machine travel, and also after interrupting operation, check whether the service brake, the parking brake (the drive must be switched off if the parking brake is applied!) and the signalling and the light systems are functional!
• When traveling on public roads, ways and places, observe the local traffic regulations in force and, if necessary, make sure beforehand that the machine is in a condition perfectly compatible with these regulations!
• Always switch on the lights in conditions of poor visibility and after dark.
• Do not carry any other persons apart from the operator!
• When crossing underpasses, bridges and tunnels, or when passing under overhead lines always make sure there is enough clearance!
• Always keep at a safe distance from the edges of building pits and slopes!
• When working in buildings or in enclosed areas, look out for:
• Height of the ceiling/clearances
• Width of entrances
• Maximum load of ceilings and floors
• Sufficient room ventilation – poisoning hazard! (exhaust)
2-6 BA 1001/1501/2001 us – Edition 3.3 * * 12001b210_us.fm
Safety Information
• Avoid any operation that might be a risk to machine stability!
• On sloping terrain always adapt your travel speed to the prevailing ground conditions! Never change to lower gear on a slope but always before reaching it!
• Before leaving the seat always secure the machine against unintentional movement and unauthorized use!
• Before starting work check whether
• all safety devices are properly installed and functional.
• dirt has been removed from all footholds.
• Before starting machine travel or operation:
• Make sure visibility is sufficient!
• Adjust your correct seat position, never adjust the seat when traveling or operating!
• Always fasten the seat belt if the rollbar is raised!
• Inspect the immediate area and ensure no one is in the danger zone.
• On the job site the operator is responsible for third parties!
• Caution when handling fuel – increased fire hazard!
• Make sure fuel does not come into contact with hot parts!
Stop the engine before refueling, do not smoke and avoid open flames or sparks.
• Never get on or off during travel or operation! Never jump off the machine!
• Should it be too dark for performing work safely, provide additional lighting on the job site.
• Installed work lights must not be switched on for travel on public roads. They can be switched on in work operation if users of public roads are not blinded.
• Adjust the travel speed to your abilities and the circumstances.
• Always adapt your travel speed to the road and ground conditions, and to the visibility conditions. Ask someone to guide you in case of difficult passages or obstacles. Always avoid tipping over the dumper by traveling appropriately and slowly as required. This applies in particular to rough terrain, the edges of trenches, curves and emergency braking. Use only the low speed range when traveling off-road (turtle indicator light on the instrument panel).
• Proceed with extreme care when working on slopes. The dumper can be traveled on firm ground in all positions on slopes up to 25 % steep. On slopes that are less steep if you expect the wheels on one side to sink in. When traveling on slopes steeper than 25 %, travel the loaded dumper only with the skip facing uphill, i.e. travel downhill reversing. When traveling downhill with an empty skip on slopes steeper than 25 %, the skip must face downhill.
• Make sure the engine cover is closed and locked before starting the dumper.
• When traveling downhill with a full skip, travel slowly and reduce engine speed by slowly reducing the pressure on the accelerator pedal. The dumper brakes hydraulically at idling speed of the diesel engine. The center of gravity of the payload is shifted to the front on slopes. Reverse downhill if you are not sure.
• Apply the parking brake when parking the machine. If possible, do not park the dumper on slopes. If this cannot be avoided, use wheel chocks, etc. Lower the skip before leaving the dumper. Apply the parking brake only in an emergency during machine travel.
• Keep the base plate of the skip in a clean condition so that the material is easily dumped out of the skip. Load only material that can be easily dumped out. Tilt out sticky or frozen material only to the front and with the dumper in straight-ahead position on level ground. As you raise the skip, watch whether the material is dumped out before fully raising the skip. Failure to watch whether the material is dumped out correctly can cause the dumper to tip over.

• Never travel too close to the edges of pits, precipices, etc., since the pressure of the wheels on the ground can cause the edge to give way. If edges are secured sufficiently and a barrier prevents the ground from giving way, you may travel closer to edges of pits, precipices, etc.
• Never tilt out material into trenches in which there are persons. If the operator cannot see into the trench, he must be instructed by a person who can see into the trench.
• Always make sure the brakes are in a perfect condition.
Crushing hazard during machine travel with lowered rollbar!
Can cause severe injuries or death.
Depending on the situation, travelling over very short distances with a lowered rollbar is allowed (in case of low clearance heights, for example), however only if the following conditions are fulfilled:
• Obtain the approval of the competent national authority.
• Machine operation with a lowered rollbar is prohibited.
• Machine travel is only allowed on absolutely level ground.
• Avoid tipping movements of the machine under all circumstances.
• Operation in areas involving a risk of falling objects or fragments flying around is prohibited.
• Do not fasten the seat belt in order to be able to leave the machine immediately in an emergency.
• Wear protective equipment (protective clothing, safety glasses, for example).

Trailer operation

In spite of being equipped with towing gear, the dumper is not a tractor and may not be used as such in difficult terrain. If the dumper is used on construction sites for towing trail­ers, weight down the skip with 25 % of the payload. However, the towed equipment includ­ing the weight in the skip may not exceed the dumper's payload. Secure the towing pin of the towing gear with a split pin!

Engine warm-up

Jump-starting the engine (supply battery)

Operation
Check whether all indicator lights have gone out:Let the engine warm up
At cold temperatures:
Increase the engine speed slowlyDo not run the engine at full load until it has reached its operating temperature
Once it has started, let the engine warm up at slightly increased idling speed. Run the engine without load during the warm-up phase (travel lever in neutral position). During the warm-up phase, check for unusual noise, exhaust color, leaks, malfunctions or damage. In case of malfunctions, damage or leaks, park and secure the machine, and find out the cause for the damage and have it repaired.
Safety instructions
• Never jump-start the engine if the battery of the machine is frozen – explosion hazard!
Dispose of a frozen battery!
• The excavator must not touch the jump-starting vehicle when connected with jump leads – sparking hazard!
• The external power source must deliver 12 V; higher supply voltages will damage the electrical system of the vehicles!
• Use only authorized battery jumper cables which conform to the safety requirements and which are in perfect condition!
• The jump lead connected to the positive + terminal of the starting battery must never be brought into connection with electrically conductive vehicle parts – risk of short
circuit!
• Route the battery jumper cables so they cannot catch on rotating components in the engine compartment!
Procedure
Travel the jump-starting vehicle close enough to the machine so that the jump leads
can reach to connect the two batteries
Let the engine of the jump-starting vehicle runFirst connect one end of the red jump lead (+) to the + terminal of the empty battery,
then connect the other end to the + terminal of the starting battery
Connect one end of the black jump lead () to the terminal of the starting batteryConnect the other end of the black cable () to a solid metal component fimly screwed
on the engine block or onto the engine block itself. Do not connect it to the negative ter­minal of the empty battery, as otherwise explosive gas emerging from the battery can ignite if sparks are formed!
Start the engine of the machine with the empty battery
Once the engine has started:
With the engine running, disconnect both jump leads in exactly the reverse order (first
remove the
terminal, then the + terminal) – this prevents sparking near the battery!

5.2 Brake test

Do not put the machine into operation if a brake test gives a negative result or if there are doubts as to the correct brake function. Contact a Wacker Neuson service center and have the malfunction rectified.
The following tests are performed to check the brake function on firm, level and horizontal ground. On slopes or in the case of machines with loads, for example, the braking effect of the parking brake may still be insufficient to safely brake the machine. If possible, always park the machine without any load and on level ground, and secure it with suitable means (chocks, for example).
Test the brakes once a day.
Parking brake test
Park the machine on firm, level and horizontal ground. With the parking brake applied, turn the steering wheel several times to the left and right limits.
The rear axle wheels must block when turning the steering wheel.
Service brake test
Models with brake pedal: Start machine travel in the slow speed range and press the brake pedal. Models without brake pedal: Start machine travel in low gear and move the travel direction lever to neutral.
Deceleration must be stronger than when only releasing the accelerator pedal.
Crushing hazard if the skip is not supported correctly!

5.5 Engine and hydraulics cooling system

The oil/water radiator is located in the engine compartment, behind the engine. It cools the diesel engine, and the hydraulic oil of the drive and operating hydraulics.
The coolant reservoir is located in the engine compartment next to the toolbox.

Specific safety instructions

• Dirt on the radiator fins reduces the radiator’s heat dissipation capacity! To avoid this:
Clean the outside of the radiator at regular intervals. Use oil-free compressed air (2
bar max.) to clean. Maintain a certain distance from the radiator to avoid damage to the radiator fins. Refer to the maintenance plans in the appendix for the cleaning intervals
In dusty or dirty work conditions, clean more frequently than indicated in the mainte-
nance plans
• An insufficient coolant level reduces the heat dissipation capacity as well and can cause engine damage! Therefore:
Check the coolant level at regular intervals. Refer to the maintenance plans in the
appendix for the intervals
If coolant must be added frequently, check the cooling system for leaks and/or con-
tact your dealer!
Never add cold water/coolant if the engine is warm!After filling the coolant reservoir, make a test run with the engine and check the cool-
ant level again after stopping the engine
• The use of the wrong coolant can destroy the engine and the radiator. Therefore:
Add enough antifreeze compound to the coolant – but never more than 50 %. If pos-
sible use brand-name antifreeze compounds with anticorrosion additives
Observe the coolant compound tableDo not use cooler cleaning compounds if an antifreeze compound has been added to
the coolant – otherwise this causes sludge to form, which can damage the engine
• Once you have filled the coolant reservoir:
Test run the engineStop the engineLet the engine cool downCheck the coolant level again
Use a suitable container to collect fluids and lubricants as they flow out and dispose of them in an environmentally friendly manner.
