3.5 General hazards

Residual hazards are special hazards that cannot be eliminated when dealing

with machines despite the safety-compliant construction.

These residual hazards are not obvious and can be a source of possible injury

or health hazards.

If unforeseen residual risks arise, the machine is to be switched off immediately

and the responsible manager informed. This manager will take further decisions

and will do everything necessary to eliminate the arising hazard.

If required, the machine manufacturer must be informed.

3.6 General safety information

The safety instructions in this chapter include the "General safety instructions",

which should be set out in the manual in accordance with the applicable stand-

ards. It may contain information not relevant for this machine.

3.6.1 Working area

 Before starting work be familiar with the working environment, e.g. the bear-

ing capacity of the soil or obstacles in the environment.

 Secure the working area from the public transport area.

 Keep working area tidy. Cluttered or poorly lit areas may lead to accidents.

 Working with this machine in a potentially explosive environment is prohibit-

ed.

 Keep children and other people away when operating this machine. Distrac-

tions may lead to loss of control of the machine.

 Always secure the machine against tipping, rolling, sliding and crashing. Risk

of injury!

3.6.2 Service

 Only allow the machine to be repaired or maintained by qualified technically

trained personnel.

 Use only original spare parts and accessories. The operational safety of the

machine is thus maintained.

3 Security

100_0202_si_0006.fm 15

3.6.3 Personal safety

 Working under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication can lead to seri-

ous injury.

 For all work appropriate protective equipment should be worn. Appropriate

personal protective equipment reduces the risk of injury considerably.

 Remove tools before the machine is put into operation. Tools on a rotating

machine part can be ejected and cause serious injury.

 Always ensure stability.

 After prolonged working with this machine, vibration-induced long-term dam-

age cannot be ruled out completely. For exact values for vibration measure-

ment, see chapter Technical data.

 Wear appropriate clothing. Keep baggy or loose clothing, gloves, jewelry and

long hair away from moving/rotating machinery. Danger of being pulled in!

3.6.4 Handling and use

 Do not use machines with defective switches. Have the defective switches re-

placed immediately. Machines with defective switches carry a high risk of in-

jury.

 Store unused machines out of the reach of children. Machines may only be

operated by authorized personnel.

 Treat machines with care. Have defective parts immediately replaced before

this machine is put into operation. Defective machines carry a high risk of ac-

cidents.

 Use the machine, accessories, tools etc. in accordance with these instruc-

tions.

3.7 Specific safety instructions - vibratory plates

3.7.1 External influences

The vibratory plate must not be operated in the event of the following external

influences:

 Heavy rain on inclined surfaces. Slipping hazard!

 Oil field environments - methane leaks from the soil. Explosion hazard!

 In dry, flammable vegetation. Fire hazard!

 In potentially explosive environments. Explosion hazard!

3 Security

100_0202_si_0006.fm

3.7.2 Operational safety

 During operation of the machine ensure that no gas, water or electric lines or

pipes are damaged.

 The machine must not be used in tunnels or within closed areas in operation.

 Pay the utmost attention near drops or slopes. Falling hazard!

 The intended operator's position is behind the center pole, do not leave while

the unit is operational.

 Do not allow the machine to run unattended. Risk of injury!

 Demarcate work area spaciously and keep unauthorized persons away. Risk

of injury!

 Operators this machine must ensure that persons who are present in the

work area comply with a minimum distance of 2 meters from the operational

machine.

 Do not use start help sprays. They can cause misfires and engine damage.

Fire hazard!

 When operating the machine on sloping surfaces, always approach gradients

from the bottom and always stand above the machine on a slope. The ma-

chine could slip or tip over.

 Do not exceed the maximum permissible tilt of the machine - possible loss of

engine lubrication, see ChapterTechnical data.

 Only use Wacker Neuson batteries. They are vibration resistant and there-

fore suitable for high vibration loads.

100_0202_si_0006.fm 17

3.7.3 Safety distances

Compaction work close to buildings can cause damage. For this reason, all po-

tential impacts and vibrations have to be tested on surrounding buildings in ad-

vance.

The relevant rules and regulations for the measurement, assessment and control

of vibration emissions must be observed.

Wacker Neuson accepts no liability for any damage to buildings.

3.8 General safety instructions - combustion engines

The following instructions must be adhered to:

 Check the engine before starting work for leaks and cracks in the fuel line,

tank and fuel cap.

 Do not use a defective engine. Replace damaged parts immediately.

 The preset engine speed must not be adjusted. This could lead to engine

damage.

 Make sure that the exhaust muffler of the engine is free of debris. Fire hazard!

 Before refueling, switch off engine and allow to cool.

 Use the correct fuel type. Fuel must not be mixed with other liquids.

 For refueling, use clean filling aids. Do not spill fuel; wipe up any spilled fuel

immediately.

 Engine must not be started near spilled fuel. Explosion hazard!

 When operating in partially-enclosed spaces sufficient ventilation must be

provided. Do not breathe in exhaust fumes. Poisoning hazard!

 The engine block and exhaust muffler can become very hot after a short time.

Burning hazard!

Notice: This machine is equipped with an EPA-certified engine.

Adjusting the speed influences the EPA certification and emissions.

Adjustments to this engine may only be carried out by a professional.
