1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use
This machine is a centrifugal trash pump. The Wacker Neuson Trash Pump
consists of a trailer with integral fuel tank onto which are mounted a diesel engine,
and an impeller pump with ports for water suction and discharge. The engine
rotates the impeller during operation. Waste water is drawn into the pump through
the suction port and expelled through the discharge port. The operator connects
hoses to the pump and routes them so that water and solids are drained from the
work area and discharged into an appropriate location.
This machine is intended to be used for general de-watering applications. This machine
is intended for the pumping of clear water, or water containing solids up to the size
stated within the product specifications; and up to the flow, head, and suction lift limits
also stated within the product specifications.
This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use described
above. Using the machine for any other purpose could permanently damage the
machine or seriously injure the operator or other persons in the area. Machine
damage caused by misuse is not covered under warranty.
The following are some examples of misuse:
Pumping flammable, explosive, or corrosive fluids
Pumping hot or volatile fluids that result in pump cavitation
Operating the pump outside of product specifications due to incorrect diameter
hoses, incorrect length hoses, other inlet or outlet restrictions, or excessive
suction lift or head
Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface
Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment
Operating the machine outside of factory specifications
Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings found on the
machine and in the Operator’s Manual
This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the latest global
safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate hazards as far as
practicable and to increase operator safety through protective guards and labeling.
However, some risks may remain even after protective measures have been taken.
They are called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to:
Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide from the engine
Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques
Fuel and its fumes
Personal injury from improperly lifting the trailer tongue
Projectile hazard from discharge
Crushing hazards from a tipping or falling pump (placing the vibrating pump on
an uneven surface or near the edge of a trench increases the risk of the pump
falling over)
Typical hazards related to towing a trailer on roads and highways
To protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and understand the
safety information presented in this manual before operating the machine.

1.3 Safety Guidelines for Operating the Machine
Operator
training
Before operating the machine:
Read and understand the operating instructions contained in all manuals
delivered with the machine.
Familiarize yourself with the location and proper use of all controls and safety
devices.
Contact Wacker Neuson for additional training if necessary.
When operating this machine:
Do not allow improperly trained people to operate the machine. People
operating the machine must be familiar with the potential risks and hazards
associated with 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
Application
area
Be aware of the application area.
Keep unauthorized personnel, children, and pets away from the machine.
Remain aware of changing positions and the movement of other equipment and
personnel in the application area/job site.
Identify whether special hazards exist in the application area, such as toxic
gases, or unstable ground conditions, and take appropriate action to eliminate
the special hazards before using the machine.
Be aware of the application area.
Do not operate the machine in areas that contain flammable objects, fuels, or
products that produce flammable vapors.
Safety
devices,
controls, and
attachments
Only operate the machine when:
All safety devices and guards are in place and in working order.

Safe
operating
practices
When operating this machine:
Remain aware of the machine’s moving parts. Keep hands, feet, and loose
clothing away from the machine’s moving parts.
When operating this machine:
Do not operate a machine in need of repair.
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
Safe
operating
practices
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.
Do not 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.
Do not 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.
Do not 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.
Do not 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.
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.
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.
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!
