1.2 State Regulations Concerning Trailers
Trailer laws covering such things as brakes, lights, safety chains, etc.,
will vary from state to state. Make certain that your trailer is in
compliance with the regulations of the state in which the trailer will be
used. If you are not sure what these regulations are, contact the state
motor vehicle department for information.
In some states, trailers must be registered and licensed by the State
Department of Transportation. Before towing, be sure to check
licensing requirements.
1.3 Safety Guidelines for Operating the Machine
Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of the
machine. Machines operated improperly or by untrained personnel
can be hazardous. Read the operating instructions contained in this
manual and the engine manual, and familiarize yourself with the
location and proper use of all controls. Inexperienced operators should
receive instruction from someone familiar with the machine before
being allowed to operate it.
Operator qualifications
Only trained personnel are permitted to start, operate, and shut down
the machine. They also must meet the following qualifications:
• have received instruction on how to properly use the machine
• are familiar with required safety devices
The machine must not be accessed or operated by:
• children
• people impaired by alcohol or drugs
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Wear the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) while
operating this machine:
• Close-fitting work clothes that do not hinder movement
• Safety glasses with side shields
• Hearing protection
• Safety-toed footwear
1.3.1 Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is on or
immediately after it has been turned off. These areas get hot and may
cause burns.
1.3.2 Do not use accessories or attachments that are not recommended by
Wacker Neuson. Damage to equipment and injury to the user may
result.
WARNING

PT 6L Safety Information
wc_si000524gb.fm 11
1.3.3 Never leave the machine running unattended.
1.3.4 Never operate this machine in applications for which it is not intended.
1.3.5 Do not open the priming plug when the pump is hot. Do not loosen or
remove inlet or discharge hose fittings when the pump is hot. Hot water
inside could be pressurized much like the radiator on an automobile.
Allow the pump to cool to the touch before loosening the plug and
before loosening or removing the inlet or discharge hose fittings.
1.3.6 NEVER position the pump on a loose, uneven, or unstable surface
where it can tip, roll, slide or fall! The pump must be secure before
operating. Position the pump on a firm, flat surface; adjust the trailer
jacks to be sure the pump is level and supported firmly.
1.3.7 NEVER open the pump housing cover while the pump is operating or
start the pump with the cover off. The rotating impeller inside the pump
can cut or sever objects caught in it.
1.3.8 NEVER block or restrict flow from the inlet line or the discharge line.
Remove kinks from the discharge line before starting the pump.
Operation with a blocked inlet line or discharge line can cause water
inside the pump to overheat.
1.3.9 NEVER reach into or insert anything into the pump while the engine is
on! The impeller inside the pump housing is turning at all times while
the engine is running.
1.3.10 DO NOT allow anyone to stand in front of the discharge port when
starting the engine or while priming the pump! The sudden out-rush of
water could push or knock a person down.
1.3.11 ALWAYS make sure the hose connections on the pump are tight. A
loose connection could cause water to spray or result in a hose falling
off the pump while it is in operation.
1.3.12 ALWAYS make sure the water stream from the pump discharge is not
directed in such a way so as to cause erosion to the surrounding
ground or damage or weakening of nearby structures!
