Jobsite
WARNING
Electric shock hazard
Electric shock can cause severe injury or death.
► Maintain a safe distance from overhead energized electric lines.
The operator and any people in the jobsite are at risk if the machine is not
operated correctly. Know the rules for the jobsite, which include but are not
limited to the following:
• Remain aware of changing positions and the movement of other equip-
ment and personnel in the jobsite.
• Use extra care when operating over uneven ground, on hills, or over soft
or coarse material. The machine could shift or slide unexpectedly.
• Use caution when operating the machine near the edges of pits,
trenches, or platforms. Ensure the ground surface is stable enough to
support the weight of the machine with operator and there is no danger
of the machine sliding, falling or tipping.
• Do not operate the machine in areas that contain flammable objects, fu-
els, or products that produce flammable vapors.
• Do not place diesel fuel or other flammable material such as oil, hay, or
dried grass close to the engine during engine operation or shortly after
shutdown.
• Keep the area around the muffler free of debris such as leaves, paper,
cartons, etc. A hot muffler could ignite the debris and start a fire.
• When operating the machine in contaminated areas, take appropriate
measures to protect the operator and the machine.
• Familiarize yourself with the jobsite before beginning work, especially
when operating in buildings or enclosed areas. Be aware of:

3

Safety
3.2 Safety Guidelines for Operating the Machine
16 Operator’s Manual | SM100 | 5100064108 | 08/2022 | [en-US]
– Any necessary barriers separating the jobsite from public roads
– Height of the ceiling/clearances
– Width of entrances
– Maximum load of ceilings and floors
– Sufficient room ventilation to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poi-
soning
• Observe the risk zone.
• Be aware of overhead electric lines. If the machine touches an energized
electric line:
– Do not leave the machine until the energized electric line has either
been de-energized or removed from the machine.
– While the machine is touching the energized electric lines, warn oth-
ers against approaching and touching the machine.
– Move the machine away from the energized electric lines.
– Have the energized electric lines de-energized.
Environmental conditions for operation
• Avoid operating in extremely dusty conditions.
• Avoid operating in the presence of chemical gases or fumes.
• Avoid operating in a corrosive atmosphere such as salt water spray.
• Do not expose the engine to the rain.
• When the engine is operated in dusty conditions, inspect the air cleaner
element more frequently.
• Contact your authorized YANMAR industrial engine dealer or distributor
if the engine will be operated an altitude of 1,676m (5,500ft) or higher.
High altitude reduces engine power, de-stabilizes operation and gener-
ates exhaust gas that exceeds the specification amount in design.
Dust precaution
• Work in a well ventilated area.
• Use a dust control system.
• Wear an approved dust/particle respirator.
Demolition or excavation work
• When working on roofs or similar structures, check the resistance and
the structure itself before starting work. The building can collapse, caus-
ing serious injury, death, and damage.
• Do not place the machine directly under the workplace during demolition.
Debris can fall onto the machine or the building can collapse, causing
serious injury, death, and damage.
• Look out for hazards such as high-voltage lines, underground cables,
buried utility lines (electrical, gas, water, communication, sewer), etc.,
during excavation work.
Before any digging begins:

Safety

3.4 Safety Guidelines for Maintenance
General maintenance notes
• Follow all instructions in the Maintenance chapter of this operator's man-
ual. For instructions on adjustment, maintenance, and inspection activi-
ties and intervals, see Maintenance on page 67.
• Wacker Neuson requires the machine owner to have maintenance per-
formed under all circumstances. Otherwise, the warranty shall not be
given in full.
• For inspection and maintenance work, ensure all tools and service cen-
ter equipment are capable of performing the tasks prescribed. Do not
use malfunctioning or broken tools. Use certified measuring devices that
are routinely calibrated for accuracy (for example torque wrench, pres-
sure gauge, ammeter).
• Retighten any screws, electrical connections, or hose connections that
may have been loosened during maintenance and repair.
• Recycle scrapped parts and drained fluids according to environmental
and hazardous material requirements. To avoid fire and health hazards,
dispose of soiled shop towels by approved methods.
• If any lockout/support devices are removed for setup, maintenance, or
repair purposes, they must be refitted and checked immediately upon
completion of the maintenance/repair work.

3.5 Safety Guidelines for the Engine Control Unit (ECU)
20 Operator’s Manual | SM100 | 5100064108 | 08/2022 | [en-US]
Cleaning and servicing
• Keep machine clean and free of debris such as leaves, paper, cartons,
etc.
• Keep labels legible. When pressure washing decals, direct the stream at
a 90 degree angle to the surface with the spray nozzle at least 12 inches
away.
• Do not clean the machine while it is running.
• Never use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to clean
the machine. Fumes from fuels and solvents can become explosive.
3.5 Safety Guidelines for the Engine Control Unit (ECU)
• Never use the ECU for purposes that are not intended by YANMAR;
such as using unauthorized ECU, writing unauthorized data to ECU,
leaving it broken, or removing sensors and actuators. Doing so could re-
sult in the violation of emission control regulations and will void the prod-
uct warranty.
• Be sure to use the ECU in conjunction with the engines whose models or
serial numbers are specified by YANMAR. Other ECU/engine combina-
tions than specified will void the engine warranty.
• Replacing the fuel injection pump involves rewriting the fuel injection
data in the ECU. Be sure to contact your local YANMAR dealer before
replacing the fuel injection pump. Failure to rewrite the fuel injection data
before replacing the fuel injection pump will void the engine warranty.
• Replacing the ECU involves migrating the fuel injection data to the exist-
ing ECU to the new unit. Be sure to contact your local YANMAR dealer
before replacing the ECU. Failure to migrate the fuel injection data be-
fore replacing the ECU will void the engine warranty.
• Improper use or misuse of the ECU may result in death or serious injury
due to an abrupt and unexpected increase in engine speed.
3.6 Special Hazards
Electrical energy
• Use only fuses with the specified current rating.
• Stop the machine immediately if an electrical system malfunction occurs.
Disconnect the battery and contact a trained technician to perform trou-
bleshooting procedures.
• Regularly inspect the machine’s electrical components. Immediately re-
pair any defects such as loose connections, damaged or corroded con-
nectors, or cracked or scorched cables.
• Attachments with electrical connections must be compatible with the ma-
chine’s voltage specifications (12 volts).
• For specific safety precautions when working with batteries, see Main-
taining the Battery on page 98.
