Information regarding operation with bio-hydraulic oil

Biodegradable hydraulic oil is designated as biodegradable oil after this.
• Use only the biodegradable oils that have been tested and released by
Wacker Neuson.
• Add only biodegradable oil of the same type. In order to avoid misun-
derstandings, attach a clear label to the hydraulic oil filler neck
providing clear information regarding the type of oil currently used. The
joint use of two different oils can affect the quality of one of the oil
types. Therefore ensure that the remaining amount of biodegradable
oil complies with the national and regional regulations as you replace
it. Observe the manufacturer’s indications.
• Do not top off any mineral oil to avoid foaming problems.
• When running the vehicle with biodegradable oil, the same oil and filter
replacement intervals are valid as for mineral oil.
• At temperatures of less than 5°C (41°F), the condensation water must
be drained in the hydraulic oil tank by an authorized service center.
The water content may not exceed 0.1% by weight.
• Also, when using organic oils, all the information about environmental
protection provided in this document applies as well.
• Subsequent change from mineral oil to biodegradable oil may only be
performed by a Wacker Neuson service center.

body vibration)
Directive 2002/44/EC of European Parliament and Council on minimum

health and safety requirements regarding exposure of workers to risks
arising from physical agents (vibration).
Indications on hand-arm vibration

Hand-arm vibration is less than 2.5 m/s² during correct vehicle operation.
Indications on whole-body vibration

Whole-body vibration is less than 0.5 m/s² during correct vehicle
operation.
Uncertainty of measurement has been taken into account for the specified
values.
The degree of vibration is influenced by various parameters.
Some of them are listed below:
• Operator: training, behavior, working method, and strain.
• Job site: organization, preparation, surroundings, weather conditions,
and material.
• Machine: version, seat quality, quality of suspension system, attach-
ments, and condition of attachments.
Precise indications on the vibration degrees cannot be made for the
vehicle.

Note:
For further vibration indications, refer to the indications in ISO/TR 25398
Mechanical Vibrations – Directive on Estimation of whole-body vibration
during operation of earth moving vehicles. This publication uses
measuring values of international institutes, organizations and
manufacturers. It contains information on whole-body vibration for
operators in earth moving vehicles. For more information on the vibration
values of the vehicle, refer to Directive 2002/44/EC of European
Parliament and Council on minimum health and safety requirements
regarding exposure of workers to risks arising from physical agents
(vibration).
It explains the values for vertical vibration under heavy operating
conditions.
Directives on reduction of vibration values in earth moving vehi-

cles:
• Perform correct adjustments and maintenance on the vehicle
• Avoid jerky movements during vehicle operation
• Keep slopes in a perfect condition
Guidelines for reducing the whole body vibrations: Use the vehicle,
equipment and implements in the correct design and size
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for maintenance
- Tire pressure
- Brake and steering systems
- Control elements, hydraulic system and linkage
• Keep the work area in good condition
- Remove large rocks or obstacles
- Fill up trenches and holes
- Provide a vehicle and enough time to keep the job site in good
condition
• Use an operator seat according to the ISO 7096 requirements. Keep
the operator seat in good condition and adjust it correctly:
- Adjust the operator seat and suspension to the operator’s weight and
size
- Check and maintain the seat adjustment and suspension
• Perform the following activities smoothly without any jerks
- Steering
- Brakes
- Acceleration
- Shifting gears
• Move attachments without any jerks
9-18 BA 1001-2001 en/us* 1.1 * 1020_11_900.fm

Technical data 9
Guidelines for reducing vibrations:

- Adjust travel speed to the route
- Travel around obstacles and uneven ground
• Reduce vibration to a minimum during long work cycles or during
vehicle operation over long distances:
- Use a vehicle with a suspension system (for example on the operator
seat)
- If the vehicle is not equipped with hydraulic vibration damping,
reduce your speed to avoid bumps and jolts
- Load the vehicle on a truck or trailer to move between job sites
• Other risk factors can affect drive comfort negatively. The following
measures can improve drive comfort:
- Adjust the operator seat and the control elements to a relaxed body
posture
- Adjust the rearview mirrors to ensure optimal visibility so you can
adopt an upright seating position
- Provide breaks to avoid sitting for long periods
- Do not jump off the control stand
- Picking up and raising loads repeatedly must be limited to a
minimum.
Reference:
The vibration values and calculations are based on the indications made
in ISO/TR 25398 Mechanical Vibrations – Guidelines for assessment of
exposure to whole-body vibration during operation of earth moving
vehicles.
The harmonized data comply with measurements made by international
institutes, organizations and manufacturers. This publication offers
information on the calculation of whole-body vibrations for operators of
earth moving vehicles. This method is based on vibration measurements
under real operating conditions for all vehicles. Read the original
guidelines. This chapter summarizes part of the legal regulations.
However, its aim is not to replace the original references. Other parts of
this document are based on information of the United Kingdom Health and
Safety Executive.
For more information on vibration, refer to Directive 2002/44/EC of
