Operation on sloped surfaces

Always stand above the machine within the area of a slope.

Only approach gradients from below (a gradient that can be easily driven up can also be driven down 
without any risk).

Do not stand in the direction of descent of the machine.

Do not exceed the maximum allowable slanting position (see 

Technical Data

) chapter.

Only operate the machine for a short time in maximum allowable slanting position.

Vibrating sett paving (paving stones)

When compacting interlocking paving stones, Wacker Neuson recommends using of the sliding device 
in order to avoid damage to the machine and compaction material. See chapter 

Accessories

Commissioning

9.3.1

Start engine

1. Turn the fuel cock to ON.
2. Set the choke lever to the CLOSE position.

3. Set the throttle lever to no-load voltage.

WARNING

Danger of crushing
If hydraulic oil is lost, the machine goes into reverse.

NOTICE

If the maximum permissible slanting position is exceeded, this results in a failure of the 
engine lubrication and therefore inevitably causes a defect of important engine parts.

DANGER

Fire hazard
Jumper cable sprays are highly flammable; they can ignite and cause severe burns.

Do not use jumper cable sprays.

NOTICE

Do not use the choke if the engine is warm or if the air temperature is too high.
