1.1 Operating Safety

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.

1.1.1 NEVER operate this machine in applications for which it is not

intended.

1.1.2 Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is on or

immediately after it has been turned off. These areas get hot and may

cause burns.

1.1.3 Do not use accessories or attachments that are not recommended by

Wacker Neuson. Damage to equipment and injury to the user may

result.

1.1.4 ALWAYS wear protective clothing appropriate to the job site when

operating the machine.

1.1.5 ALWAYS remain aware of moving parts and keep hands, feet, and

loose clothing away from the moving parts of the machine.

1.1.6 Read, understand, and follow procedures in the Operator’s Manual

before attempting to operate the machine.

1.1.7 ALWAYS check that all controls are functioning properly immediately

after start-up! DO NOT operate machine unless all controls operate

correctly.

1.1.8 ALWAYS remain aware of changing positions and movement of other

equipment and personnel on the job site.

1.1.9 ALWAYS remain aware of changing surface conditions and use extra

care when operating over uneven ground, on hills, or over soft or

coarse material. The machine could shift or slide unexpectedly.

1.1.10 ALWAYS use caution when operating near the edges of pits, trenches

or platforms. Check to be sure ground surface is stable enough to

support the weight of the machine and operator and there is no danger

of the machine sliding, falling or tipping.

1.1.11 Always operate machine with all safety devices and guards in place

and in working order. Do not modify or defeat safety devices. Do not

operate machine if any safety devices or guards are missing or

inoperative.

1.1.12 ALWAYS position yourself safely when operating machine in reverse

or on hills. Leave enough space between yourself and the machine so

you will not be placed in a hazardous position should the machine slide

or tip.

WARNING

RS 800 /... Safety Information

wc_si000178gb.fm 9

1.1.13 ALWAYS operate the machine with both of your feet on the ground!

DO NOT stand, sit, or ride on machine while in operation.

1.2 Operator Safety While Using Internal Combustion Engines

Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation

and fueling. Read and follow the warning instructions in the engine

owner’s manual and the safety guidelines below. Failure to follow the

warnings and safety standards could result in severe injury or death.

1.2.1 Do not smoke while operating the machine.

1.2.2 Do not smoke when refueling the engine.

1.2.3 Do not refuel a hot or running engine.

1.2.4 Do not refuel the engine near an open flame.

1.2.5 Do not run the engine near open flames.

1.2.6 Do not run the machine indoors or in an enclosed area such as a deep

trench unless adequate ventilation, through such items as exhaust

fans or hoses, is provided. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide.

This is a poison you cannot see or smell. Exposure to carbon

monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and CAN KILL YOU IN

MINUTES.

1.2.7 Refill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area.

1.2.8 Replace the fuel tank cap after refueling.

1.2.9 ALWAYS check the fuel lines and the fuel tank for leaks and cracks

before starting the engine. Do not run the machine if fuel leaks are

present or the fuel lines are loose.

1.2.10 ALWAYS keep the area around a hot exhaust pipe free of debris to

reduce the chance of an accidental fire.

1.3 Service Safety

A poorly maintained machine can become a safety hazard! In order

for the machine to operate safely and properly over a long period of

time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.

1.3.1 Do not attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running.

Rotating parts can cause severe injury.

1.3.2 DO NOT remove air cleaner cover, paper element, or precleaner while

engine is running.

1.3.3 Do not use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to

clean parts, especially in enclosed areas. Fumes from fuels and

solvents can become explosive.

1.3.4 ALWAYS replace the safety devices and guards after repairs and

maintenance.

1.3.5 Replace worn or damaged components with spare parts designed and

recommended by Wacker Neuson Corporation.

1.3.6 Keep the machine clean and labels legible. Replace all missing and

hard-to-read labels. Labels provide important operating instructions

and warn of dangers and hazards.

1.3.7 ALWAYS check all external fasteners at regular intervals.

1.3.8 ALWAYS make sure slings, chains, hooks, ramps, jacks, and other

types of lifting devices are attached securely and have enough weight-

bearing capacity to lift or hold the machine safely. Always remain

aware of the location of other people in the area when lifting the

machine.

1.3.9 Do not crank a flooded engine with the spark plug removed on

gasoline-powered engines. Fuel trapped in the cylinder will squirt out

the spark plug opening.

1.3.10 Do not test for spark on gasoline-powered engines if the engine is

flooded or the smell of gasoline is present. A stray spark could ignite

the fumes.

1.3.11 Keep the area around the muffler free of debris such as leaves, paper,

cartons, etc. A hot muffler could ignite the debris and start a fire.

1.3.12 Disconnect the spark plug on machines equipped with gasoline

engines, before servicing, to avoid accidental start-up.

2.2 Application

This machine is designed for compaction of sand, gravel, soil and

asphalt. The RS 800 has tight clearances, making it ideally suited for

small repairs and maintenance of roads, walks, bridges, and parking

lots. The high exciter forces ensure excellent compaction of cohesive-

type soils, as well as loose soils and gravel. The sprinkler system and

water control valve allow the roller to be used wet or dry.

2.3 Recommended Fuel (RS 800A, RSS 800A)

The engine requires regular grade unleaded gasoline. Use only fresh,

clean gasoline. Gasoline containing water or dirt will damage fuel

system. Consult engine owner’s manual for complete fuel

specifications.

2.4 Before Starting

2.4.1 Read and understand the safety and operating instructions at the

beginning of this manual.

2.4.2 Check:

• Oil level in the engine

• Fuel level

• Condition of the air cleaner

• Tightness of the external fasteners

• Condition of the fuel lines
