1.5 Service Safety
A poorly maintained machine can become a safety hazard! In order
for the machine to operate safely and properly over a long period of
time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Wear the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) while
servicing or maintaining this machine:
• Close-fitting work clothes that do not hinder movement
• Safety glasses with side shields
• Hearing protection
• Safety-toed footwear
In addition, before servicing or maintaining the machine:
• Tie back long hair.
• Remove all jewelry (including rings).
1.5.1 Do not attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running.
Rotating parts can cause severe injury.
1.5.2 Do not crank a flooded engine with the spark plug removed on
gasoline-powered engines. Fuel trapped in the cylinder will squirt out
the spark plug opening.
1.5.3 Do not test for spark on gasoline-powered engines if the engine is
flooded or the smell of gasoline is present. A stray spark could ignite
the fumes.
1.5.4 Do not use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to
clean parts, especially in enclosed areas. Fumes from fuels and
solvents can become explosive.
1.5.5 Keep the area around the muffler free of debris such as leaves, paper,
cartons, etc. A hot muffler could ignite the debris and start a fire.
1.5.6 Replace worn or damaged components with spare parts designed and
approved by Wacker Neuson.
1.5.7 When replacement parts are required for this machine, use only
Wacker Neuson replacement parts or those parts equivalent to the
original in all types of specifications, such as physical dimensions,
type, strength, and material.
1.5.8 Disconnect the spark plug on machines equipped with gasoline
engines, before servicing, to avoid accidental start-up.
