Modifications and spare parts
• NEVER make any modifications, additions or conversions to the
machine and its superstructures (for example, cab, etc.), or the
machine’s attachments, without the approval of Wacker Neuson! Such
modifications may affect safety and/or machine performance. This also
applies to the installation and adjustment of safety devices and valves,
as well as to welding work on load-bearing elements.
• Spare parts must comply with the technical requirements specified by
Wacker Neuson. Contact your Wacker Neuson dealer for assistance.
• The operator/machine owner commits himself to operate and keep the
machine in perfect condition, and, if necessary or required by law, to
require the operating or servicing persons to wear protective clothing
etc.
• In the event of safety-relevant modifications or changes on the
machine or of its behavior, stop the machine immediately and report
the malfunction to the competent authority/person.
• Safety-relevant damage or malfunctions of the machine must be
rectified immediately.
Applications with lifting gear
Lifting gear applications are procedures involving raising, transporting and
lowering loads with the help of slings and load-securing devices (e.g.
ropes, chains).
No applications with lifting gear under any circumstances!
Machines with a maximum authorized lifting capacity of over 1000 kg
(2,205 lbs.) or an overturning moment of over 40,000 Nm (29,500 ft.lbs.)
may be used for lifting gear applications if the following conditions are
fulfilled:
• Acoustic and optical warning device
– see chapter 3.20 Safe load indicator (option) on page 3-72
• Load holding control valve – see chapter 3.17 “Load holding control
valve” safety feature (option) on page 3-65
• Proper equipment for slinging and securing the load must be available
(joint rod enabling loads to be picked up, Powertilt unit with load hook).
• The lift capacity table must be observed – see chapter 6 Specifications
on page 6-1.
- Get informed on and follow the legal regulations of your country.
Instructions on fastening loads
• The help of an accompanying person is necessary for securing and
detaching the load.
• The load must be secured so as to prevent it from falling or slipping.
• Fasten the lifting gear so that it is not possible to unhook the sling
unintentionally.
• Position the lifting gear ensuring the sling is not deflected by other
parts.
• Do not use any lifting gear and slings that are damaged or not suffi-
ciently dimensioned.
• The lifting gear must be designed to withstand the loads that can arise
in the different positions of the work equipment or parts of the boom.
Lateral loads and diagonal tensile forces must also be taken into
account.
