Protective equipment should be worn for all work. Appropriate personal protective equipment
considerably reduces the risk of injury.
Remove any tools before the machine is put into operation. Tools that are located on a rotating
machine part can be ejected and cause serious injury.
Always ensure good footing.
In the case of extensive work with this machine, long-term vibration-induced damage cannot be ruled
out. For exact values of vibration measurement, refer to the
Technical Data
section.
Wear suitable clothing. Keep loose clothing, gloves, jewelry, and long hair away from moving/rotating
machine parts. Danger of being pulled!
Ensure that no other individuals are in the danger zone!
3.6.4
Handling and use
Handle machines with care. Do not operate machines with defective components or operator’s
controls. Immediately replace defective components or operator's controls. Machines with defective
components or operator's controls carry a high risk of injury!
The operator's controls of the machine shall not be improperly locked, manipulated, or changed.
The machine, accessories, and tools should be used in accordance with these instructions.
Store unused machines out of reach of children. The machine may only be operated by authorized
personnel.
After operation, store the cooled-down machine in a locked, clean, frost-protected, and dry location
that is inaccessible to children and other unauthorized individuals.

Specific safety instructions – Vibratory plates
3.7.1
External influences
In the case of the following external influences, the vibratory plate may not be operated:
In heavy rain on sloped surfaces. Risk of slipping!
Oil field environments – methane leaks from bottom. Explosion hazard!
In dry, flammable vegetation. Fire hazard!
In potentially explosive areas. Explosion hazard!
3.7.2
Operational safety
When operating the machine, make sure that no gas, water, or electric lines are damaged.
The machine must not be operated in tunnels or enclosed spaces.
Pay maximum attention near drops or slopes. Risk of crashing!
The operator must not leave the machine while it is in operation.
Do not leave the machine unattended. Risk of injury!
Protect the machine from unauthorized operation. When not in use, lock the rear protective hood with
a padlock.
Delimit spacious workspace and restrict access to unauthorized individuals. Risk of injury!
The operator of the machine must ensure that all individuals keep a minimum distance of 2 m from
the machine while it is in operation.
Do not use any starting aid sprays. These can cause misfires as well as engine damage. Fire hazard!
When operating the machine on sloped surfaces, always approach slopes from below and always
stay above the machine on a slope. The machine could slip or tip over.
Do not exceed max. allowable slanting position of the machine – possible failure of the engine
lubrication, see chapter
Technical Data
.
Only Wacker Neusonuse starter batteries. These are vibration proof and therefore suitable for the
high vibration exposure.
3.7.3
Minimum safety distances
Compaction work near buildings can cause damage to buildings. Therefore, all potential effects and
vibrations on surrounding buildings must be checked in advance.
The relevant rules and regulations for measuring, evaluating and reducing vibration emissions,
especially the DIN 4150-3, must be considered.
Wacker Neuson assumes no liability for any damage to buildings.
3.8
Specific safety instructions – remote controlled vibratory plates
Always keep remote control and receiving units of the machine clean and free from dry, oil, and
grease.
