Introduction

1 Introduction

1.1 Information on this Operator’s Manual

The Operator’s Manual is stored in the storage bin at the rear of the 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 situations 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:

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 service work is absolutely necessary.

Extensive maintenance and repair work must always be performed by a Wacker Neuson service center. 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.

• We reserve 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.

Information!

In general, a battery delivers less energy in cold conditions. Therefore ensure that the battery is always well charged.

When the engine has started

☞ Check whether all indicator lights have gone out

☞ Let the engine warm up

At cold temperatures:

☞ Increase the engine speed slowly

☞ Apply full load to the engine only after the warm-up phase

Engine and machine warm-up

• Once it has started, let the engine warm up about 5 Minutes at slightly increased idling rpm. Actuate the operating hydraulics to warm up the hydraulic oil and the components more quickly.

• Set the engine speed lever to the center position, actuate the operating hydraulics about 5 minutes and repeatedly move the bucket cylinder to the limit for less than 10 seconds.

• Move the engine speed lever to maximum position, move all control levers through all positions so the warm oil can circulate through all hydraulic components.

At temperatures below -18 °C or if the functions still respond slowly, extend the warm-up phase accordingly.

During the warm-up phase, check for unusual noise, exhaust color, leaks, malfunctions or damage. In case of malfunctions, damage or leaks, park and secure the machine, and find out the cause for the damage and have it repaired.

Starting battery

Safety instructions

• Never jump-start the engine if the battery of the machine is frozen – danger of explosion!

☞ Dispose of a frozen battery!

• The excavator must not touch the jump-starting vehicle when connected with jump leads – sparking hazard!

• The external power source must deliver 12 V; higher supply voltages will damage the electrical system of the vehicles!

• Use only authorized battery jumper cables which conform to the safety requirements and which are in perfect condition!

• The jump lead connected to the positive + terminal of the starting battery must never be brought into connection with electrically conductive vehicle parts – risk of short circuit!

• Route the jump leads so that no one can catch on rotating components in the engine compartment!

Procedure

☞ Drive the jump-starting vehicle close enough to the machine so that the jump leads can reach to connect the two batteries

☞ Let the engine of the jump-starting vehicle run

☞ First connect one end of the red jump lead ( + ) to the + terminal of the empty battery, then connect the other end to the + terminal of the starting battery

☞ Connect one end of the black jump lead (

) to the

terminal of the starting battery

☞ Connect the other end of the black cable (

) to a solid metal component fimly screwed on the engine block or onto the engine block itself. Do not connect it to the negative terminal of the empty battery, as otherwise explosive gas emerging from the battery can ignite if sparks are formed!

☞ Start the engine of the machine with the empty battery

Once the engine has started:

☞ With the engine running, disconnect both jump leads in exactly the reverse order (first remove the

terminal, then the

+

terminal) – this prevents sparking in the vicinity of the battery!

3.7 Machine travel on slopes

Accident hazard due to tipping over or slipping of machine!

Can cause serious injury or death.

• Travel on slopes only on firm and level ground.

• Travel on slopes only with the telescopic travel gear extended (normal operation).

• Never exceed the stability limits of the machine (maximum gradient angle

15°, maximum lateral angle of inclination 10°).

• Raise the boom about 20 – 30 cm (8 – 12 in) off the ground and position it straight ahead at the center of the machine. In an emergency, lower the boom immediately to increase stability.

• Do not reverse down slopes.

• Do not turn or swivel the upper carriage and the boom when driving downhill or uphill with a full attachment.

• Traveling diagonally on slopes is prohibited.

• Traveling on slopes is prohibited if a zero-emission power unit (HPU8, for example) is raised with the stabilizer blade.

Stones and the humidity in the upper layer of the ground can drastically affect machine traction and stability.

The machine can slip sideways on gravel or loose, rocky soil. The stability of the machine can be reduced on rough terrain.

Newly filled or muddy ground can give away under the weight of the machine, or the tracks can dig into the ground and increase the angle of the machine (maximum gradient angle and maximum lateral angle of inclination).

If the engine dies as you travel on a slope, immediately put the control levers to neutral position and start the engine again.

Bear in mind the following under all circumstances when driving uphill or downhill:

• Keep the travel levers near the neutral position.

• Perform slow and smooth travel movements.

• Avoid sudden travel movements.

• Reduce the engine speed.

The machine can slip even on gentle slopes if it travels across grass, leaves, humid metal surfaces, frozen ground or ice.

Preparations for traveling on slopes

Always travel straight ahead when driving uphill or downhill.

When changing position, do not exceed a maximum gradient angle of 15° and a maximum lateral angle of inclination of 10°.

Injury hazard due to tipping over of machine!

Can cause serious injury or death.

• Only perform work with an extended telescopic travel gear.

• Traveling with a retracted telescopic travel gear is only allowed for traveling very short distances through passages.

Pay attention to the reduced stability.

• Retract or extend the telescopic travel gear completely.

• Position the boom upward during uphill travel.

• Position the boom downward during downhill travel.

• Raise the boom about 20 – 30 cm (8 – 12 in) off the ground and position it straight ahead at the center of the machine. In an emergency, lower the boom immediately to increase stability.

This prevents the machine from tipping over in case of a hose rupture on the telescopic cylinder. A hose rupture might cause the travel gear to retract and reduce stability.

Crushing hazard when retracting the telescopic travel gear!

Can cause serious injury or death.

• Do not allow anyone to stay in the danger zone.

NOTICE

In order to avoid damage to the machine when traveling through doors frames etc.:

• Pay attention to the width of the stabilizer blade and of the telescopic travel gear when traveling through passages.

• Adjust the stabilizer blade and the telescopic travel gear to the same widths when operating the machine.

Information!

In order to achieve the best possible stability, lower the stabilizer blade, turn out the extensions (option) and extend the telescopic travel gear.

Operation

3.12 Shatter protection (option) (from serial no. AI00967)

DANGER

Danger of piercing/penetration by objects from the front!

Causes serious injury or death.

• A shatter protection must be installed on a canopy version if an attachment

(a hammer, for example) causes fragments to fly around. This shatter protection takes over the function of a front window.

Pay attention to the restricted work range (see fig. 107).

• Machine operation is prohibited without a shatter protection.

• For 803 machines up to serial number AI00966, operation with an attachment causing fragments to fly around is absolutely prohibited, because a shatter protection cannot be mounted.

DANGER

Accident hazard in conditions of restricted visibility due to rain, snowfall, dust, etc.!

Causes serious injury or death.

• Stop machine operation immediately.

Information!

The shatter protection protects the operator against fragments from the front.

• The machine owner must ensure that the hazard situation is evaluated and that the national regulations are observed.

• The machine owner must ensure that only work is performed that does not require any higher protection.

• Accidents cannot be fully avoided despite equipping a machine with protective structures.

Information!

Do not use brushes, steel wool or other abrasive cleaners for cleaning the polycarbonate disc. Do not wipe dust in a dry state.

Information!

Protective structures may only be installed or removed by a Wacker Neuson service center.

3.13 Working with the machine

General safety instructions

• Machine operation is only allowed when seated on the seat

– see chapter 2.6

Safety instructions regarding operation on page 2-6.

• Do not use the machine in areas with danger of falling objects!

• Never drive up to the edge of a pit from outside – danger of cave-in!

• Never undermine the foundations of walls – danger of collapse!

• Do not dig under projecting ground. Stones or the projecting earth can fall onto the machine.

• Do not excavate deeply under the front side of the machine. The ground under the machine could collapse and cause it to tip over.

• In order to leave the control stand more easily under especially difficult circumstances, position the tracks parallel to the roadside or to the uphill slope with the drive pinion behind the operator.

• Do not perform demolition work below the machine, this could cause the machine to tip over.

• When working on roofs or similar structures, check the resistance and the structure before starting work. The building can collapse, causing serious/fatal injury and serious damage.

• Do not place the machine directly underneath the workplace during demolition, otherwise demolished parts can fall onto the machine or the building can collapse, causing serious/fatal injury and serious damage.

• Do not use the impact force of the attachment to perform demolition work. Falling demolished parts (parts of buildings, for example) can cause injury and/or damage to property and/or the machine.

• In general the machine is more liable to tip over if the boom is positioned laterally than if it is positioned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the machine.

• The machine can lose its balance and tip over if a demolition hammer or other heavy attachment is used. Proceed as follows to perform work both on level ground and on slopes:

☞ Never lower, turn or set down the attachment abruptly.

☞ Do not extend or retract the boom abruptly, otherwise the machine can tip over.

• Do not raise the bucket over the heads of persons, the seat or the cabs of trucks or other means of transport. Material can fall out, or the bucket can knock against the truck and cause serious/fatal injury and serious damage.

Operation

• Operation of the machine by unauthorized personnel is prohibited!

• Look out for high-voltage cables, underground cables, gas and water pipes during excavation work!

• The hydraulic system of the machine is still pressurized even when the engine is not running! Release the pressure in the sections of the system and hydraulic lines that are to be opened before starting setup or repair work, for example fitting/removing an attachment with hydraulic functions

– see Emergency lowering on page 3-60.

• Machine operation is only allowed if the rollbar is raised and locked, and if the seat belt is fastened.

• Machine operation with the rollbar lowered is not allowed.

• Use an external light source in case of poor illumination of the job site. If this is not enough to illuminate the job site sufficiently, stop machine operation and only take it up again if sufficient illumination can be ensured.

3.19 Pressure release on the auxiliary hydraulics

NOTICE

Before connecting or removing hydraulic lines from an attachment with hydraulic functions, ensure that the hydraulics are not under pressure!

Ensure that no one is in the danger zone of the machine

Information!

The hydraulic system of the machine is still pressurized even when the engine is not running! The hydraulic quick couplers can be released, however they cannot be re-attached due to the residual pressure in the lines.

• Release the pressure.

• Release the pressure in the sections of the system and hydraulic lines that are to be opened before starting setup or repair work, for example fitting/removing an attachment!

Releasing pressure

Release the pressure as follows:

☞ Park the machine on level and horizontal ground.

☞ Lower the boom and the attachment completely to the ground.

☞ Stop the engine.

☞ Lower (unlock) the lock lever.

☞ Move the control levers in all directions repeatedly.

➥ The pressure in the system sections that have been actuated is released. This can be seen by the brief movement the hoses make as the pressure is actually released.

➥ Uncouple the attachment immediately after the pressure has been released, otherwise pressure can be created again!

3.20 Re-equipping attachments

Re-equipping the attachments is described below for a bucket. If you are fitting or removing attachments with their own hydraulic functions – grab or offset bucket, for example – you must follow the special information given in the Operator’s Manual of the attachment.

BA 803 en – Edition 3.5 * * 803b510.fm

BA 803 en – Edition 3.5 * 803b510.fm

Maintenance

• Dirt on the radiator fins reduces the radiator’s heat dissipation capacity!

To avoid this:

☞ Clean the outside of the radiator at regular intervals. Use oil-free compressed air (2 bar max.) to clean. Maintain a certain distance from the radiator to avoid damage to the radiator fins. Refer to the maintenance plans in the appendix for the cleaning intervals.

☞ In dusty or dirty work conditions, clean more frequently than indicated in the maintenance plans.

• An insufficient coolant level reduces the heat dissipation capacity as well and can cause engine damage! Therefore:

☞ Check the coolant level at regular intervals. Refer to the maintenance plans in the appendix for the intervals

☞ If coolant must be added frequently, check the cooling system for leaks and/or contact a Wacker Neuson service center!

☞ Never add cold water/coolant if the engine is warm!

• The use of the wrong coolant can destroy the engine and the radiator. Therefore:

☞ Add enough antifreeze compound to the coolant – but never more than 50 %. If possible use brand-name antifreeze compounds with anticorrosion additives!

☞ Observe the coolant compound table

– see chapter 6.10

Coolant compound table on page 6-9.

☞ Do not use radiator cleaning compounds if an antifreeze compound has been added to the coolant – otherwise this causes sludge to form that can damage the engine.

Maintenance

Important information on the use of biodegradable oil

• Use only the biodegradable hydraulic fluids that have been tested and released by

Wacker Neuson. Always contact a Wacker Neuson dealer before using other products that have not been recommended. In addition, ask the oil supplier for a written declaration of guarantee. This guarantee is applicable to damage occurring on the hydraulic components that can be proved to be due to the hydraulic fluid.

• Use only biodegradable oil of the same type for adding oil. In order to avoid misunderstandings, a label providing clear information is located on the hydraulic oil reservoir

(next to the filler inlet) regarding the type of oil currently used!

The joint use of two different biodegradable oils can severely affect the quality of one of the oil types. Therefore when using a different kind of biodegradable oil, ensure that the remaining amount of initial biodegradable oil does not exceed the indications of the manufacturer of biodegradable oil.

• Do not add mineral oil – the content of mineral oil should not exceed 2 % in order to avoid foaming problems and to ensure biological degradability.

• When running the machine with biodegradable oil, the same oil and filter replacement

intervals are valid as for mineral oil – see chapter 5.16

Maintenance plan (overview) on page 5-38.

• Always have the condensation water in the hydraulic oil reservoir drained by a Wacker

Neuson service center before the cold season. The water content may not exceed

0.1 % by weight.

• The instructions in this Operator’s Manual concerning environmental protection are also valid for the use of biodegradable oil.

• If additional hydraulic attachments are installed or operated, use the same type of biodegradable oil for these attachments to avoid mixtures in the hydraulic system.

Subsequent change from mineral oil to biodegradable oil must be performed by a Wacker

Neuson service center or your Wacker Neuson dealer.

Checking hydraulic pressure lines

Specific safety instructions

Injury hazard when checking hydraulic pressure lines!

Can cause serious injury or death.

• Wear protective gloves and safety glasses.

• Search for hydraulic leaks with a piece of paper, for example.

• Always consult a doctor immediately, even if the wound seems insignificant. Hydraulic oil causes blood poisoning.

• Observe the following instructions:

• Retighten leaking screwed fittings and hose connections only when the system is not under pressure; in other words, release the pressure before working on pressurized lines!

• Never weld or solder damaged or leaking pressure lines and threaded fittings. Replace damaged parts (or have them replaced) with new ones

• Never use an unprotected light or open flame to check for minor leaks!

• Have damaged flexible lines replaced by a Wacker Neuson service center only!

• Do not remove protective hoses from hydraulic hoses.

• Leaks and damaged pressure lines must be immediately repaired or replaced by a

Wacker Neuson service center or after-sales personnel. This not only increases the operating safety of the machine but also helps to protect the environment.

• Replace hydraulic hoses every 6 years from the date of manufacture, even if they do not seem to be damaged.

In this respect, we recommend that you observe all the relevant safety regulations for hydraulic lines, as well as the safety regulations regarding accident prevention and occupational health and safety in your country. Also observe DIN 20066, part 5.

The article number is marked on the clamping section, and the date of manufacture is indicated on the hose of each hose connection.

Note:

For further vibration indications, refer to the indications in ISO/TR 25398 Mechanical Vibrations

– Directive on Estimation of whole-body vibration when driving earth moving machines. This publication uses measuring values of international institutes, organizations and manufacturers.

It contains information on whole-body vibration for operators in earth moving machines. For more information on the vibration values of the machine, refer to Directive 2002/44/EC of European Parliament and Coucil on minimum health and safety requirements regarding exposure of workers to risks arising from physical agents (vibration).

It explains the values for vertical vibration under heavy operating conditions.

Directives on reduction of vibration values in earth moving machines:

• Perform correct adjustments and maintenance on the machine.

• Avoid jerky movements during machine operation.

• Keep slopes in a perfect condition.

Whole-body vibration can be reduced with the following guidelines:

• Use a machine and equipment of correct type and size.

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for maintenance.

• Tire pressure.

• Brake and steering systems.

• Control elements, hydraulic system and linkage.

• Keep the job site in good condition:

• Remove large rocks or obstacles.

• Fill up ditches and holes.

• Provide a machine and enough time to keep the job site in good condition.

• Use an operator seat according to the ISO 7096 requirements. Keep the operator seat in good condition and adjust it correctly:

• Adjust the operator seat and suspension to the operator’s weight and size.

• Check and maintain the seat adjustment and suspension.

• Perform the following activities smoothly without any jerks:

• Steering

• Braking

• Acceleration

• Shifting gears

• Move attachments without any jerks.

• Adapt your speed and the itinerary to minimize vibration:

• Travel around obstacles and uneven ground.

• Reduce your speed when traveling across rough terrain.

6-7

Technical data

• Reduce vibration to a minimum during long work cycles or when traveling over long distances:

• Use a machine with a suspension system (operator seat, for example).

• Enable the hydraulic oscillation damping if the machine is equipped with tracks.

• If the machine is not equipped with hydraulic oscillation damping, reduce your speed to avoid bumps and jolts.

• Load the machine on a truck or trailer to move between work sites.

• Other risk factors can affect drive comfort negatively. The following measures can improve drive comfort:

• Adjust the operator seat and the control elements to a relaxed body posture.

• Adjust the rearview mirrors to ensure optimal visibility so you can adopt an upright seating position.

• Provide breaks to avoid sitting for long periods.

• Do not jump off the control stand.

• Picking up and raising loads repeatedly must be limited to a minimum.
