Operator qualifications
Only trained personnel are permitted to start, operate, and shut down
the machine. They also must meet the following qualifications:
•
Have received instruction on how to properly use the machine
•
Are familiar with required safety devices
The machine must not be accessed or operated by:
•

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Wear the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) while
operating this machine:
•
Close-fitting work clothes that do not hinder movement
•
Safety glasses with side shields
•
Hearing protection
•
Safety-toed footwear
•
Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is on or
immediately after it has been turned off. These areas get hot and
may cause burns.
•
Do not use accessories or attachments that are not recom-
mended by Wacker Neuson. Damage to equipment and injury to
the user may result.
•
Do not pump volatile, flammable, or low flash point fluids. These
fluids could ignite or explode.
•
Do not pump corrosive chemicals or water containing toxic sub-
stances. These fluids could create serious health and environ-
mental hazards. Contact local authorities for assistance.
•
Do not open the priming plug when the pump is hot. Do not
loosen or remove inlet or discharge hose fittings when the pump
is hot. Hot water inside could be pressurized much like the radia-
tor on an automobile. Allow the pump to cool to the touch before
loosening the plug and before loosening or removing the inlet or
discharge hose fittings.
WARNING
Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of the
machine. Machines operated improperly or by untrained personnel can be
hazardous. Read the operating instructions contained in this manual and the
engine manual, and familiarize yourself with the location and proper use of all
controls. Inexperienced operators should receive instruction from someone familiar
with the machine before being allowed to operate it.
