1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use
This machine is a centrifugal trash pump. The Wacker Neuson Trash
Pump consists of a trailer with integral fuel tank onto which are
mounted a diesel engine, and an impeller pump with ports for water
suction and discharge. The engine rotates the impeller during
operation. Waste water is drawn into the pump through the suction
port and expelled through the discharge port. The operator connects
hoses to the pump and routes them so that water and solids are
drained from the work area and discharged into an appropriate
location.
This machine is intended to be used for general de-watering applications.
This machine is intended for the pumping of clear water, or water
containing solids up to the size stated within the product specifications,
and up to the flow, head, and suction lift limits also stated within the
product specifications.
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:
Pumping flammable, explosive, or corrosive fluids
Pumping hot or volatile fluids that result in pump cavitation
Operating the pump outside of product specifications due to
incorrect diameter hoses, incorrect length hoses, other inlet or
outlet restrictions, or excessive suction lift or head
Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface
Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment
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
Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques
PT 6L Safety Information
wc_si000524gb.fm 11
Fuel and its fumes
Personal injury from improper lifting the trailer tongue
Projectile hazard from discharge
Crushing hazards from a tipping or falling pump (placing the
vibrating pump on an uneven surface or near the edge of a trench
increases the risk of the pump falling over)
Typical hazards related to towing a trailer on roads and highways
To protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and
understand the safety information presented in this manual before
operating the machine.
Safety Information PT 6L
12 wc_si000524gb.fm
1.3 State Regulations Concerning Trailers
Trailer laws covering such things as brakes, lights, safety chains, etc.,
will vary from state to state. Make certain that your trailer is in
compliance with the regulations of the state in which the trailer will be
used. If you are not sure what these regulations are, contact the state
motor vehicle department for information.
In some states, trailers must be registered and licensed by the State
Department of Transportation. Before towing, be sure to check
licensing requirements.
1.4 Safety Guidelines for Operating the Machine
Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of the
machine. Machines operated improperly or by untrained personnel
can be hazardous. Read the operating instructions contained in this
manual and the engine manual, and familiarize yourself with the
location and proper use of all controls. Inexperienced operators should
receive instruction from someone familiar with the machine before
being allowed to operate it.
Operator qualifications
Only trained personnel are permitted to start, operate, and shut down
the machine. They also must meet the following qualifications:
have received instruction on how to properly use the machine
are familiar with required safety devices
The machine must not be accessed or operated by:
children
people impaired by alcohol or drugs
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Wear the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) while
operating this machine:
Close-fitting work clothes that do not hinder movement

WARNING
PT 6L Safety Information
wc_si000524gb.fm 13
1.4.3 Do not leave the machine running unattended.
1.4.4 Never operate this machine in applications for which it is not intended.
1.4.5 Do not open the priming plug when the pump is hot. Do not loosen or
remove inlet or discharge hose fittings when the pump is hot. Hot water
inside could be pressurized much like the radiator on an automobile.
Allow the pump to cool to the touch before loosening the plug and
before loosening or removing the inlet or discharge hose fittings.
1.4.6 NEVER position the pump on a loose, uneven, or unstable surface
where it can tip, roll, slide or fall! The pump must be secure before
operating. Position the pump on a firm, flat surface; adjust the trailer
jacks to be sure the pump is level and supported firmly.
1.4.7 NEVER open the pump housing cover while the pump is operating or
start the pump with the cover off. The rotating impeller inside the pump
can cut or sever objects caught in it.
1.4.8 NEVER block or restrict flow from the inlet line or the discharge line.
Remove kinks from the discharge line before starting the pump.
Operation with a blocked inlet line or discharge line can cause water
inside the pump to overheat.
1.4.9 NEVER reach into or insert anything into the pump while the engine is
on! The impeller inside the pump housing is turning at all times while
the engine is running.
1.4.10 DO NOT allow anyone to stand in front of the discharge port when
starting the engine or while priming the pump! The sudden out-rush of
water could push or knock a person down.
1.4.11 ALWAYS make sure the hose connections on the pump are tight. A
loose connection could cause water to spray or result in a hose falling
off the pump while it is in operation.
1.4.12 ALWAYS make sure the water stream from the pump discharge is not
directed in such a way so as to cause erosion to the surrounding
ground or damage or weakening of nearby structures!
