The vehicle with canopy is not certified for demolition work according to
EN 474-5. A front guard cannot be attached.
WARNING
Danger of piercing/penetration by objects from the front!
Work involving risk of piercing/penetrating by objects from the front can cause accidents with serious injury or death.
► During operation, all persons must stay clear of the job site of the vehicle.
► Do not position the vehicle under the workplace during demolition, since debris could fall onto the vehicle.
► Observe the mandatory limits of the work area.
► Do not hammer horizontally or upward.
► Only hammer with attached shatter protection or closed front window.
WARNING
Accident hazard due to tipping over of vehicle!
A tipping vehicle can cause serious injury or death.
► During operation, all persons must stay clear of the job site of the vehicle.
► Do not perform any demolition work under the vehicle. This could cause the vehicle to tip over.
► The vehicle can lose its balance and tip over if a hammer or other heavy attachment is used.
► Never turn, lower or set down the attachment abruptly.
► Do not extend or retract the boom abruptly.

5 Operation
Working with a hydraulic hammer
NOTICE
In order to avoid damage to the vehicle or hydraulic hammer, observe the following points:
► Observe the Operator’s Manual of the hydraulic hammer.
► Do not hammer horizontally or upward.
► Do not use the hammer to raise loads.
► Do not hit the hammer against rocks, concrete, etc.
► Do not hammer in the same spot uninterruptedly for more than 15 seconds.
► Do not raise the vehicle with the boom.
► Do not work with fully extended cylinders or arm system. Do not pivot the Powertilt unit beyond 30° during breaker operation, otherwise the load on the boom increases tremendously.
► Stop vehicle operation immediately if a hydraulic hose moves back and forth in an unusual manner. The pressure accumulator could be malfunctioning. Contact a Wacker Neuson service center and have the malfunction rectified immediately.
► Do not use the impact force of the attachment to perform demolition work. Broken or falling pieces can cause damage to the equipment.
