Hammer operation
Notice
In order to avoid damage to the machine and the hydraulic
hammer, observe the following during machine operation with a
hammer:
►
See the Operator’s Manual of the hydraulic hammer.
►
Never use the hammer horizontally or upward.
►
Do not use the hammer to raise loads.
►
Do not hit the hammer against rocks, concrete, etc.
►
Do not raise the machine with the boom.
►
Working with the hydraulic cylinders and/or the boom fully
extended is prohibited.
►
Do not swivel the Powertilt unit beyond 30° during hammer
operation, otherwise the load on the boom increases
enormously.
►
Stop machine operation immediately if a hydraulic hose
moves back and forth in an unusual manner. The pressure
accumulator could be malfunctioning. Contact a Wacker
Neuson service center and have the malfunction rectified
immediately.
