4.7.3
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.

General safety instructions - Combustion engines
The following notes must be observed:
Before starting work, check the engine to ensure there are no leaks and cracks in the fuel lines, tank
and fuel cap.
Do not operate a defective engine. Replace damaged parts immediately.
The pre-set engine speed may not be adjusted. This could lead to engine damage.
Make sure that the exhaust system of the engine is free of debris. Fire hazard!
Switch off the engine and allow to cool before refueling.
Use the correct fuel type. The fuel may not be mixed with other liquids.
Use clean filling aids for refueling. Do not spill fuel. Immediately wipe up any spilled fuel.
The engine may not be started near spilled fuel. Explosion hazard!
For operation in partially closed spaces, sufficient ventilation and aeration must be ensured. Do not
inhale exhaust fumes. Risk of poisoning!
The engine surface and exhaust system can quickly become extremely hot. Risk of burns!

General safety instructions – fuel, lubricants and coolants
The following notes must be observed:
Always wear safety glasses and protective gloves when handling fuel, lubricants, and coolants. If
hydraulic oil, fuel, oil, or coolant gets into your eyes, see a doctor immediately.
Avoid direct skin contact with fuel, lubricants and coolants. Immediately rinse skin with soap and
water.
Do not eat or drink while working with fuel, lubricants and coolants
Contaminated hydraulic oil or fuel from dirt or water can lead to premature wear or failure of the
machine
Dispose of spilled fuel, lubricants and coolants according to the applicable provisions for
environmental protection.
If fuel, lubricants and coolants escape from the machine, do not operate the machine any longer and
have it repaired immediately by the Wacker Neuson contact partner.
