1 Introduction

1.1 Important information on this Operator’s Manual

Please store the Operator’s Manual in the storage tube 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 dangerous 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.

The safety of the driver and other persons heavily depends on how safely the machine is
used. Therefore, carefully read and understand this Operator’s Manual prior to the first
drive. This Operator’s Manual will help to familiarise 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 ser­vice work is absolutely necessary.
Extensive maintenance and repair work must always be carried out by an expert with
appropriate training. Insist on using original spare parts when carrying out maintenance
and repair work. This ensures operational safety and readiness of your machine, and
maintains its value.

Your Wacker Neuson dealer will be pleased to answer any further questions regarding the
