Safety Information
2.7 Trailering and Transport
Trailers
• Even though the dumper is equipped with towing gear, it is not a tractor and may not be
used as such in difficult terrain.
• If the dumper is used on construction sites for towing trailers, weight the dump bucket
with 25 % of the payload. However, do not exceed the dumper's maximum payload with
the combination of towed equipment and the weight in the dump bucket!
• Secure the towing pin of the towing gear with a split pin.
• Use special care when coupling trailers, and couple them with the specially required
devices only.
• Always secure trailers against unintentional movement.
• If optional equipment such as a trailer is installed, make sure that all lights and
associated indicator lamps are installed and functional.
Transport
• The machine must be towed, loaded and transported only in accordance with
procedures described in this Operator's Manual.
• For towing the machine, observe the prescribed transport position, admissible speed
and itinerary.
• Make sure that the vehicle transporting the machine has a sufficient capacity and
payload.
• Safely secure the machine on the transporting vehicle. Use the specified tie-down
points.
2.8 Temperature Range
The machine may only be used between a m45°C (113°F) and minimum -15°C
(5°F). Contact your Wacker Neuson dealer if you intend to use the machine in other
temperature ranges. Store the machine in a dry place at room temperature (about 15°C, or
59°F). Observing these temperature ranges will help to prolong the machine's service life.
