TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS
The majority of accidents and injuries which occur in industry, at home or on the road, are caused by the failure
of some individual to follow simple and fundamental safety rules or precautions. For this reason MOST ACCI-
DENTS CAN BE PREVENTED by recognizing the real cause and taking the necessary precautions, before the
accident occurs.
Regardless of the care used in design and construction of any type of equipment, there may be conditions that
cannot be completely safeguarded against, without interfering with reasonable accessibility and efficient oper-
ation.
A careful operator and / or technician is the best insurance against accidents. The complete observance of one
simple rule would prevent many thousands of serious injuries each year.
This rule is: never attempt to clean, lubricate or adjust a machine while it is in motion.
SWARNING
Before carrying out any maintenance operation, adjustment and or repair on machines equipped with attach-
ments, controlled hydraulically or mechanically, make sure that the attachment is lowered and safely set on the
ground. If it is necessary to have the equipment partially or fully raised to gain access to certain items, be sure
the equipment is suitably supported by means other than the hydraulic lift cylinders, cable and /or mechanical
device used for controlling the equipment.

2 SECTION 01 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. INTRODUCTION
The wheeled excavators WE150 Compact - WE170
Compact - WE170C Railroad are operation hydrau-
lic machines.
They essentially consist in a wheeled undercarriage
on which a slewing bearing is mounted, which is
coupled to the upper frame.
The upper frame supports the front attachment, the
engine, the hydraulic components, the cab, the fuel
tank and the counterweight.
When the operator activates the controls (hydraulic
control levers and pedals), the hydraulic pumps
rotated by the engine suck oil from the tank and con-
vey it to the control valve; the control valve, in turn,
sends it to the relevant users.
A cooling system keeps the hydraulic fluid at a nor-
mal operating temperature.
1.1 DESIGNATED USE
The machine has been built in accordance with
state-of-the-art standards and the recognized
safety rules.
The machine must be used in accordance with its
designated use, by observing the safety and pre-
cautionary rules and by strictly following the operat-
ing instructions. Any functional disorders,
especially those affecting the safety of the machine,
should therefore be rectified immediately.
The Excavator is intended to be used in digging
and loading operation (with bucket or grab or clam-
shell bucket), ground levelling (with blade when
installed) and use of hydraulic hammer to break
concrete or other solid material.
The manufacturer/supplier cannot be held respon-
sible for any damage resulting from other than the
designated use. The risk involved in such misuse
lies entirely with the user.
1
S DANGER S
A different use of the excavator or of its working
equipment:
- for lifting or transporting persons;
- as a working platform;
- for lifting loads without the attachment being
approved for this purpose;
- for pulling slung loads;
- for driving in posts, supports, sheet-piles, without
the attachment being approved for this purpose;
is considered contrary to the designated use.
Improper use may cause injury or life-threatening
risks for the operator and for other persons.
S DANGER S
For clarity purposes, some figures in this Manual
show the machine with protection panels or covers
removed. Never operate the machine with any pro-
tection panels or covers removed.
S DANGER S
It is absolutely forbidden to tamper and/or change
the setting of any of the hydraulic system valves to
avoid damaging machine components with conse-
quent risks to personal safety.

2. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Carefully read this Manual before proceeding with
maintenance, repairs, refuelling or other machine
operations.
Repairs have to be carried out only by authorized
and instructed staff; specific precautions have to be
taken when grinding, welding or when using mallets
or heavy hammers.
Not authorized persons are not allowed to repair or
carry out maintenance on this machine. Do not carry
out any work on the equipment without prior authori-
zation.
Ask your employer about the safety instructions in
force and safety equipment.
Nobody is allowed to seat on the operator’s place
during machine maintenance unless he is a qualified
operator helping with the maintenance work.
If it is necessary to move the equipment to carry out
repairs or maintenance, do not lift or lower the equip-
ment from any other position than the operator’s
seat.
Never carry out any operation on the machine when
the engine is running, except when specifically indi-
cated.
Stop the engine and ensure that all pressure is re-
lieved from hydraulic circuits before removing caps,
covers, valves, etc.
All repair and maintenance operations should be
carried out with the greatest care and attention.
Service stairs and platforms used in a workshop or
in the field should be built in compliance with the
safety rules in force.
Any functional disorders, especially those affecting
the safety of the machine, should therefore be recti-
fied immediately.

2.1 EMERGENCY
Be prepared for emergencies. Always keep at dis-
posal on the machine a first aid kit and a fire extin-
guisher. Make sure that the fire extinguisher is
serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s in-
structions.
2.2 EQUIPMENT
Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment ap-
propriate for the job:
Z safety helmet;
Z safety shoes;
Z heavy gloves;
Z reflective clothing;
Z wet weather clothing.
If environment condition require it following personal
safety equipment should be at hand:
Z respirators (or dustproof masks);
Z ear plugs or acoustic ears protections;
Z goggles with lateral shield or masks for eyes pro-
tection.
Do not wear rings, wristwatches, jewels, unbuttoned
or flapping clothing such as ties, torn clothes,
scarves, open jackets or shirts with open zips which
could get caught into moving parts.

2.3 ENGINE - RADIATOR
Never leave the engine run in closed spaces without
ventilation and not able to evacuate toxic exhaust
gases. Keep the exhaust manifold and tube free
from combustion materials.
Do not refuel with the engine running, especially if
hot, as this increases fire hazard in case of fuel spill-
age.
Never attempt to check or adjust the fan belts when
the engine is running.
Never lubricate the machine with the engine run-
ning.
Pay attention to rotary pieces and do not allow to an-
yone to approach to avoid becoming entangled.
If hands, clothes or tools get caught in the fan blades
or in the transmission belt, this can cause amputa-
tions, violent tears and generate condition of serious
danger; for this reason avoid touching or to come
close to all rotary or moving parts.
A violent jet of the coolant from the radiator can
cause damages and scalds.
If you are to check the coolant level, you have to shut
off the engine previously and to let cool down the ra-
diator and its pipes. Slowly unscrew the cap to re-
lease the inside pressure.
If necessary, remove the cap with hot engine, wear
safety clothes and equipment, then loosen the cap
slowly to relieve the pressure gradually.
When checking the fuel, oil and coolant levels, use
exclusively explosion proof classified lamps. If this
kind of lamps are not used fires or explosions may
occur.

2.4 HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
Splashes of fluids under pressure can penetrate the
skin causing serious injuries.
Avoid this hazard by relieving pressure before dis-
connecting hydraulic or other lines.
Relieve the residual pressure by moving the hydrau-
lic control levers several times.
Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
To protect the eyes wear a facial shield or safety
goggles.
Protect your hands and body from possible splashes
of fluids under pressure.
Swallowing hydraulic oil is a severe health hazard.
When hydraulic oil has been swallowed, avoid vom-
iting, but consult a doctor or go to a hospital.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor familiar with this
type of injury immediately.
Any fluid penetrating the skin must be removed with-
in few hours to avoid serious infections.
Flammable splashes may originate because of the
heat near pipes with fluids under pressure, with the
result of serious scalds for the persons hit. Do not
weld or use torches near pipes containing fluids or
other flammable materials.
Pipes under pressure can accidentally be pierced
when the heat expands beyond the area immediate-
ly heated.
Arrange for fire resistant temporary shields to pro-
tect hoses or other components during welding.
Have any visible leakage repaired immediately.
Escaping oil pollutes the environment. Soak up any
oil that has escaped with a proper binding agent.
Sweep up binding agent and dispose of it separately
from other waste.
Never search for leakages with the fingers, but use a
piece of cardboard and always wear goggles.
Never repair damaged piping; always replace it. Re-
place hydraulic hoses immediately on detecting any
damage or moist areas.
Always store hydraulic oil in the original containers.

HOSES AND TUBES
Always replace hoses and tubes if the cone end or
the end connections on the hose are damaged.
When installing a new hose, loosely connect each
end and make sure the hose takes up the correct po-
sition before tightening the connections. Clamps
should be tightened sufficiently to hold the hose with-
out crushing and to prevent chafing.
After hose replacement to a moving component,
check that the hose does not foul by moving the
component through the complete range of travel.
Be sure any hose which has been installed is not
kinked or twisted.
Hose connections which are damaged, dented,
crushed or leaking, restrict oil flow and the productiv-
ity of the components being served. Connectors
which show signs of movement from the original po-
sition have failed and will ultimately separate com-
pletely.
A hose with a frayed outer sheath will allow the water
penetration. Concealed corrosion of the wire rein-
forcement will subsequently occur along the hose
length with resultant hose failure.
Ballooning of the hose indicates an internal leakage
due to structural failure. This condition rapidly deteri-
orates and total hose failure soon occurs.
Kinked, crushed, stretched or deformed hoses gen-
erally suffer internal structural damage which can re-
sult in oil restriction, a reduction in the speed of
operation and ultimate hose failure.
Free-moving, unsupported hoses must never be al-
lowed to touch each other or related working surfac-
es. This causes chafing which reduces hose life.
O-RINGS
Replace O-rings, seal rings and gaskets whenever
they are disassembled.
Never mix new and old seals or O-rings, regardless
of condition. Always lubricate new seal rings and O-
rings with hydraulic oil before installation to relevant
seats.
This will prevent the O-rings from rolling over and
twisting during mounting which will jeopardize seal-
ing.
