These safety instructions refer to special tasks relating to the use of the loader and servicing tasks - as well as emergency maintenance during operation or work concerning disposal of the auxiliary and operating materials.
•
The Operator’s Manual provides adjustment, maintenance and inspection information and schedules in subsequent sections. This information is essential to ensuring peak performance satisfaction and safety over the life of the wheel loader.
•
This Operator’s Manual provides routine adjustment and maintenance procedures in addition to operating instructions. Diagnosis and repair of the wheel loader requires special skill, training and tools. Your Wacker
Neuson dealer has the trained technicians to perform such work safely and effectively.
•
Maintenance and repair work shall be performed by operators and technicians trained and knowledgeable of the wheel loader function and attachments.
•
Do not attempt to perform maintenance or repair on the wheel loader until the machine and engine is stopped and all attachments are in a stable position.

•
Use lifting devices to raise and support parts and assemblies exceeding 10 kg (22 lbs) weight during repair and replacement activity. Use only OSHA approved devices to perform the lifting operation and verify that the lifting devices are in serviceable condition.
•
The use of a crane to lift heavy assemblies or components requires that the operator is certified by OSHA.
The person attaching the load and signaling the operator must be trained in proper techniques as well as voice and hand signals to instruct the crane operator.
•
For assembly above head height, use only climbing aids and working platforms which are intended for this purpose, or which are safe for use in this situation. Do not use machine parts as climbing aids. Keep all handles, steps, pedestals, platforms and ladders free of dirt, snow and ice.
•
Clean the entire loader, especially the connections and threaded connections, with oil, fuel or care products when beginning maintenance and servicing work.
Use lint-free cleaning rags and no aggressive cleaning agents.
•
Before cleaning the loader with water or by steam jet
(high-pressure cleaner) or with other cleaning agents, cover up / seal off all the openings into which water, steam and cleaning agents are not permitted to enter.
Electrical components, inlets and outlets for the engine‘s combustion air and reservoir openings are particularly at risk. Completely remove the covers / seals after you have finished cleaning.
•
Before restarting, retighten any threaded connections loosened during servicing and repairs, in particular for oil or fuel lines. When performing maintenance and servicing work, check all the lines and threaded connections for leaks and tight fit.

Replace the ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) or
FOPS structure if it is permanently deflected, a member is deformed, it has become corroded, and/or it has been modified. If the mounting structure, base, or mounting hardware is damaged, consult your Wacker Neuson dealer for assistance. Do not attempt to repair, straighten or reuse a damaged ROPS or FOPS.
•
Responsibly dispose of the unwanted materials and fluids resulting from the repair. Hazardous material shall be disposed in a hazardous material container(s). Parts and assemblies can be recycled.
ROPS / FOPS - protective structures
WARNING
Never use the machine without the ROPS/FOPS properly installed.
►
Do not drill, weld, straighten, or bend the ROPS
/ FOPS protective structures.
►
Allow only trained authorized personnel to install new ROPS / FOPS structures.
