WARNING
Crushing hazard due to tipping over of vehicle!
A tipping vehicle can cause serious injury or death.
► Raise the boom 20 – 30 cm (8 – 12 in) off the ground and position it straight ahead at the center of the vehicle.
► In an emergency, lower the boom immediately to increase stability.
► Travel on slopes only on firm and level ground.
► Adapt the travel speed to the prevailing conditions.
► Pay attention to persons and obstacles.
► Pay attention to the stability limits of the vehicle (maximum gradient angle 15°, maximum lateral angle of inclination 10°).
► Perform uphill and downhill vehicle travel only in speed 1.
► Never reverse downhill.
► Ensure that no parts of the body protrude outside the vehicle.
► Do not exceed the permissible payloads.
► Do not turn or swivel the upper carriage and the boom during downhill or uphill vehicle operation with a full attachment.
► Diagonal machine travel is prohibited.
Stones and the humidity in the upper layer of the ground can affect vehicle traction and stability.
The vehicle can slip sideways on gravel or loose, rocky soil. The stability of the vehicle can be reduced on rough terrain.
On soft ground, the vehicle sinks into it or the tracks dig into it. This increases the vehicle angle (maximum gradient angle and maximum lateral angle of inclination), and the vehicle can tip over.
If the engine dies as you perform uphill or downhill vehicle travel, immediately put the control levers to neutral position and restart the engine.
Observe under all circumstances during uphill or downhill travel:
• Keep the drive levers near the neutral position.
• Perform slow and smooth travel movements.
• Avoid sudden travel movements.
• Reduce the engine speed.
The vehicle can slip even on gentle slopes if it travels across grass, leaves, humid metal surfaces, frozen ground or ice.

Important information regarding operation with biodegradable hydraulic oil
• Use only the biodegradable oils that have been tested and released by
Wacker Neuson.
• Add only biodegradable oil of the same type. In order to avoid misunderstandings, attach a clear label to the hydraulic oil filler neck providing clear information regarding the type of oil currently used. The joint use of two different biodegradable oils can affect the quality of one of the oil types. Therefore ensure that the remaining amount of biodegradable oil complies with the national and regional regulations as you replace it. Observe the manufacturer’s indications.
• Do not add mineral oil – the content of mineral oil should not exceed
2 % of the system fill in order to avoid foaming problems and to ensure biological degradability.
• When running the vehicle with biodegradable oil, the same oil and filter replacement intervals are valid as for mineral oil.
• 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.
• Subsequent change from mineral oil to biodegradable oil may only be performed by a Wacker Neuson service center.

Determination of vibration level for the three vibration axes.
• Under typical operating conditions, use the average vibration values measured.
• In order to obtain the estimated vibration value for an experienced operator on level ground, subtract the factors from the average vibration value.
• In case of an aggressive working method or difficult terrain, add the environmental factors to the average vibration level in order to obtain the estimated vibration level.
Note:
For further vibration indications, refer to the indications in ISO/TR 25398
Mechanical Vibrations – Directive on Estimation of whole-body vibration during operation of earth moving vehicles. This publication uses measuring values of international institutes, organizations and manufacturers. It contains information on whole-body vibration for operators in earth moving vehicles.

Directives on reduction of vibration values in earth moving vehicles:
• Perform correct adjustments and maintenance on the vehicle.
• Avoid jerky movements during vehicle operation.
• Keep slopes in a perfect condition.
Whole-body vibration can be reduced with the following guidelines:
• Use a vehicle 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 vehicle 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
- Brakes
- 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 during vehicle travel across rough terrain.

• Reduce vibration to a minimum during long work cycles or during vehicle operation over long distances:
- Use a vehicle with a suspension system (for example on the operator seat).
- Enable the hydraulic oscillation damping if the vehicle is equipped with tracks.
- If the vehicle is not equipped with hydraulic oscillation damping, reduce your speed to avoid bumps and jolts.
- Load the vehicle on a truck or trailer to move between job 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 cabin.
- Picking up and raising loads repeatedly must be limited to a minimum.
Reference:
The vibration values and calculations are based on the indications made in ISO/TR 25398 Mechanical Vibrations – Guidelines for assessment of exposure to whole-body vibration during operation of earth moving vehicles.
The harmonized data comply with measurements made by international institutes, organizations and manufacturers. This publication offers information on the calculation of whole-body vibrations for operators of earth moving vehicles. This method is based on vibration measurements under real operating conditions for all vehicles. Read the original guidelines. This chapter summarizes part of the legal regulations.
However, its aim is not to replace the original references. Other parts of this document are based on information of the United Kingdom Health and
Safety Executive.
For more information on vibration, refer to Directive 2002/44/EC of
European Parliament and Council on minimum health and safety requirements regarding exposure of workers to risks arising from physical agents (vibration).

Safety instructions lift capacity tables
Observe the values of the lift capacity tables in normal operation (for example excavating).
Observe the values of the load diagrams in lifting gear applications.
DANGER
Crushing hazard due to tipping over of vehicle!
The vehicle causes serious injury or death when it tips over.
► The weight of the attachment and load must be subtracted from the weight specified in the corresponding column in the table.
► Pay attention to the density of the load.
► Do not exceed the weights indicated in the lift capacity tables.
NOTICE
If the weight is exceeded, there is a risk of damage to property if the vehicle tips over.
► Do not exceed the weights indicated in the load diagrams.
Information
The indications are only approximate values. Uneven ground or poor ground conditions affect vehicle stability. The operator must take these influences into account.

Safety instructions load diagrams
Observe the values of the load diagrams in lifting gear applications.
DANGER
Crushing hazard due to tipping over of vehicle!
The vehicle causes serious injury or death when it tips over.
► Do not exceed the weights indicated in the load diagrams.
► Subtract the weight of the attachment from the weight specified in the relevant load diagram.
► Use the vehicle for lifting gear applications only if the mandatory lifting gear and safety equipment is installed, functional and enabled.
NOTICE
If the weight is exceeded, there is a risk of damage to property if the vehicle tips over.
► Do not exceed the weights indicated in the load diagrams.
Information
The indications are only approximate values. Attachments, uneven ground and soft or bad ground conditions affect the vehicle’s stability, and thus the weight and mass it can handle. The operator must take these influences into account.

888-258-0808
(USA and Canada)
Plan The Work
Be aware of the lead time for marking the work area.
This time may vary from state to state and county to county. If you do not locate utilities, you may have an accident or suffer injuries, cause service interruptions, damage the environment or experience job delays.
Call
Before starting any digging project, contact the local
One-Call service by dialing 811 (USA only) to have underground utilities located. A One-Call referral number, 1-888-258-0808 , is also available for both
USA and Canada.
One-Call will notify participating utility companies that you intend to dig. You must also call utility companies that do not participate in the One-Call service.
Dig
Most utilities mark their underground facilities using
American Public Works Association (APWA) underground color codes. Verify marks before digging.
In the United States, OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.651 requires that the estimated location of underground utilities be determined before beginning an excavation.
When actual excavation approaches an estimated utility location, the exact location of the underground installation must be determined by a safe, acceptable and dependable method. Other OSHA regulations may also apply to the jobsite.

WARNING!
Avoid possible death or serious injury from explosion. Lead-acid batteries produce extremely explosive gases, especially when being charged. Keep arcs, sparks, flames and lighted tobacco away.
— Do not smoke near batteries.
— Check battery cables for worn or damaged insulation.
— Keep arcs, sparks and open flames away from batteries.
— Provide adequate ventilation.
Never check the battery by placing a metal object across the battery posts; the resulting spark could cause an explosion.
WARNING!
Avoid possible death or serious injury from battery explosion. Do not charge a battery or booststart the engine if the battery is frozen.
Warm to 60°F
(15.5°C) or the battery may explode.
Safety rules during battery boost-starting:
— Follow the instructions for proper “battery booststarting” as specified in the manufacturer’s manual.
— Be sure the machines are not touching.
— Observe the polarity of the batteries and connections.
— Make the final cable connection to the engine or the ground point farthest from the battery and away from fuel lines. Never make the final connection at the starter or dead battery—sparks may ignite the explosive gases present at the battery.
— When disconnecting cables after boost-starting, remove the cables in reverse order of connection
(i.e., final connection first).

Track Maintenance And Adjustment
Check the tracks daily because the stability of the compact excavator can be dramatically affected by damage to tracks.
Check for:
— Damage or wear
— Correct tension according to manufacturer’s instructions
— Proper lubrication of track rollers and idlers—refer to the manufacturer’s manuals.
Track tension is important for good performance, reducing excessive track wear and preventing the tracks from coming off. Track and roller wear varies with working conditions and soil conditions. Special tools and procedures may be needed to check or adjust track tension. Follow manufacturer’s specific service procedure(s) when removing and installing tracks.

Track Damage
WARNING!
Track tensioning systems have compressed springs or pressurized fluid (oil or grease). Improperly releasing track tension forces can result in death or serious injury. Always follow the manufacturer’s warnings and instructions for track adjustment and other maintenance and servicing procedures.
WARNING! Avoid possible death or serious injury.
Never strike or pound on track tension springs.
They may be under very high compression and could shatter explosively.

What should be considered when jump-starting a vehicle?
No votes
Improperly jump-starting a vehicle can be dangerous; observe safety instructions. Only use batteries with the same voltage (12 V). Do not place battery jumper cables near rotating parts. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before working on the electrical system.
James M.
What safety precautions should be taken when handling a battery?
No votes
Battery terminals, clamps, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash your hands after handling these components. Wear gloves and eye protection when working with batteries, as they contain caustic substances such as sulfuric acid. Do not perform battery maintenance near open flames, and ensure the area is well-ventilated due to the volatile oxyhydrogen mixture that forms during operation and charging.
