Information on this Operator’s Manual
The Operator’s Manual is stored in the document box under the seat.
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 personnel, but it also serves as a reference for experienced
personnel.
This is why the Operator’s Manual must be kept at hand in the machine.
The operator must carefully read and understand the Operator’s Manual
before starting up, servicing or repairing the machine.
This Operator’s Manual will help to familiarize yourself more easily with
the machine, thereby enabling you to use it more safely and efficiently.
This Operator’s Manual does not include special superstructures.
Please contact your dealer if you require more information on the machine
or the Operator’s Manual.

TowingThe dumper tows another vehicle on public roads, or is towed itself.
Towing
Operating company/person
The dumper is towed out of an immediate danger zone (for e xample a ra ilroad
crossing or job site).
A company (or person) operating the machine. This can be a construction
company, for example.
OperatorsPerson performing machine travel or operation.
Machine
Unless otherwise specified, the term “machine” refers to the dumpers
described in this Operator’s Manual.
All work (for example machine travel, moving material, daily maintenance) an
Machine operation
operator is allowed to or has to perform in connection with the machine. The
term “machine operation” does not include maintenance only a Wacker
Neuson service center is allowed to perform.
Visual aids
Tier III/Tier IV (exhaust-gas
standards)
Visual aids are, for example, rearview mirrors, cameras, but also persons
assisting the operator during machine operation.
The machine can be equipped with an Tier III or Tier IV engine, depending on
the destination country. Both engine variants are described separately if there
are engine-specific differences (for example regarding operation).

Target-group definition
This Operator’s Manual is intended both for professional personnel on
construction sites accustomed to handling construction machin es, and
also for private persons, for example, renting and operati ng a construction
machine.
The Operator’s Manual has been written in a way that allows machine
operation by trained private persons without any special knowledge. As
far as possible, no technical terms specific to construction machines are
used.
This Operator’s Manual must be fully read and understood both by private
persons and the professional personnel on construction sites.
A dealer or person renting the machine must instruct the operator and
have this confirmed in writing.
Operator qualification and requirements for safe operation
Among other things, safe machine operation depends on the following
points:
•Machine model and equ ipment.
•Machine maintenance.
•Work and travel speed.
•Nature of ground and work environment.
The most important points are the operator’s qualification and power of
judgement. A well-trained operator following the Operator’s Manual and
maintenance plan ensures a long service life and durability of the
machine.
Specific training enables the operator to acquire, among other things, the
following skills:
•Correct assessment of work situations.
•Feeling for the machine.
•Recognition of possible risk situations.
•Safe working by making the correct decisions for man, machine and
the environment.
The operator is at risk if the machine is not operated correctly.
Follow the operating procedures and instructions described for the
machine.
Access to the machine or machine operation is prohibite d for childr en and
persons under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medicine.
