1 Introduction

1.1 Information on this Operator’s Manual

The Operator’s Manual is stored in the document box behind the operator 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. It helps to avoid hazardous situa-

tions 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.

Your own safety, as well as the safety of others, depends to a great extent on how the

machine is moved and operated. Carefully read the Operator’s Manual before putting the

machine into operation. This Operator’s Manual will help to familiarize yourself more easily

with the machine, thereby enabling you to use it more safely and efficiently.

Follow chapter “Safety Instructions” in particular. As a rule, keep the following in mind:

Information!

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 ser-

vicing is absolutely necessary.

Extensive maintenance and repair work must always be performed by an expert with

appropriate training. Use only original spare parts for repairs. This ensures operational

safety and readiness of your machine, and maintains its value.

• Special equipment and superstructures are not described in this Operator’s Manual.

• Wacker Neuson reserves the right to improve the technical standard of our machines

without adapting the Operator’s Manual.

• Modifying Wacker Neuson products and fitting them with additional equipment and

attachments not included in our delivery program requires Wacker Neuson’s written

authorization, otherwise warranty and product liability for possible damage caused by

these modifications shall not be applicable.

• Subject to modifications and printing errors.

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

machine or the Operator’s Manual.

Introduction

Overview of model designations and trade names

1.3 Brief description

The Wacker Neuson model EZ53 track excavator is a self-propelled work machine.

The excavator is a powerful, highly flexible, efficient and environmentally friendly construc-

tion machine. They are mainly used for loosening and moving earth, in particular for dig-

ging and filling up construction pits, for example. A wide range of attachments offers a

large number of applications, for example hammer operation or bulk-material handling with

a grab.

Other possible applications can be found in chapter Chapter 1.4 “Fields of application,

attachments”.

The main components of the machine are:

• Turbodiesel engine

• Hydraulic and electrical components

• Electronic multifunctional display

• Cabin (option)

•Boom

• Travel gear

• Live ring

• Stabilizer blade

Information!

The machine can be equipped with the “Telematic” option (for transmitting

operating data, location, etc. via satellite)!

The diesel engine permanently drives a twin axial variable displacement pump whose oil

flow is sent to the control valve. Depending on actuation, each pump supplies a hydraulic

motor or the operating hydraulics with oil.

Shock cartridges (option)

The auxiliary hydraulics are equipped with Schock cartridges to compensate pressure

peaks in the hydraulic system.

Cooling system

The coolant temperature and level is monitored with the indication in the multifunctional

display of the machine.

Zero tail

The upper carriage (without counterweight/option) does not protrude beyond the width of

the machine during rotation.

Cabin

The cabin has been specially designed for protection in case of an accident.

• ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) and TOPS (Tip Over Protective Structure)

tested cabin.

• FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) – option.

Introduction

1.4 Fields of application, attachments

The attachments will decide in the first place how the machine is used.

NOTICE

In order to avoid damage to the machine, only the attachments listed below

have been certified for installation on the machine.

• Contact a Wacker Neuson service center if you wish to use other attachments.

Using attachments of other manufacturers, or attachments that have been released for

other machine types, can reduce the machine’s output and stability considerably, and can

also cause damage to the machine and injury to the operator or the personnel.

Always compare the weight of the attachment and its maximum payload with the indica-

tions in the lift capacity table. Never exceed the maximum payload stated in the lift capac-

ity table.

Information!

Please refer to the Operator’s and maintenance manual of the attachment

manufacturer for using and performing maintenance on attachments such as

hammers, grabs, etc.
