Operation
Notice!
Do not put the machine into operation if a brake test gives a negative result or if
there are doubts as to the correct brake function. Contact a Wacker Neuson ser-
vice center and have the malfunction rectified.
The following tests are performed to check the brake function on firm, level and horizontal
ground. On slopes or in the case of machines with loads, for example, the braking effect of
the parking brake may still be insufficient to safely park the machine. If possible, always
park the machine without any load and on level ground, and secure it with suitable means
(chocks, for example).
Test the brakes once a day.
