Operating company responsibilities
The operating company must make the operator's manual available to the operator and ensure that the operator has read and understood it.
Work recommendations
Please observe the recommendations below:
Work only if you are in a good physical condition.
Work attentively, particularly as you finish.
Do not operate the machine when you are tired.
Carry out all work calmly, circumspectly and carefully.
Never operate the machine under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medica-

Ensure that no persons or animals are within the danger zone.
2.3 Protective gear
Work clothing
Clothing should be appropriate, i.e. should be close-fitting but not restrict your
movement.
When on construction sites, do not wear long hair loosely, loose clothing or jewelry including rings. These objects can easily get caught or be drawn in by moving machine parts.
Personal protective gear
Wear personal protective gear to avoid injuries or health hazards:
Non-skid, hard-toed shoes.
Work gloves made of durable material.
Overalls made of durable material.
Hard hat.
Ear protection.
Ear protection
This machine generates noise that exceeds the country-specific permissible
noise levels (individual rating level). It may therefore be necessary to wear ear
protection. You can find the exact value in the chapter Technical Data.
When wearing ear protection while working, you must pay attention and exercise
caution because your hearing is limited, e.g. in case someone screams or a signal tone sounds.
Wacker Neuson recommends that you always wear ear protection.
