Safety Information P 35A

1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use

This machine is a vibratory concrete screed. The Wacker Neuson Wet Screed
consists of a gasoline engine, a fuel tank, a metal blade, an eccentric weight
positioned at the center of the metal blade, and a control handle. The gasoline
engine spins the eccentric weight through a drive shaft, producing vibrations that
travel the length of the metal blade. The operator uses the control handle to pull the
machine across uncured concrete.

This machine is intended to be used for striking off uncured concrete slabs with or
without the support of grade stakes or forms.

This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use described
above. Using the machine for any other purpose could permanently damage the
machine or seriously injure the operator or other persons in the area. Machine
damage caused by misuse is not covered under warranty.

The following are some examples of misuse:

■ Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface

■ Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment

■ Engaging the screed when not on uncured concrete

■ Operating the machine on non-compactable surfaces, such as asphalt or cured

concrete

■ Operating the machine outside of factory specifications

■ Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings found on the

machine and in the Operator’s Manual

This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the latest global
safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate hazards as far as
practicable and to increase operator safety through protective guards and labeling.
However, some risks may remain even after protective measures have been taken.
They are called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to:

■ Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide from the engine

■ Chemical burns from the curing concrete

■ Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques

■ Fuel and its fumes, fuel spillage from improper lifting technique

■ Personal injury from improper lifting techniques or operating techniques

■ Excessive vibration by holding the blade

To protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and understand the
safety information presented in this manual before operating the machine.
