Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 Important information on this Operator's Manual
Please store the Operator's Manual in the storage box at the rear of the seat.
This Operator's Manual contains important information on how to work safely, correctly
and economically with the machine. Therefore, it aims not only at new operators, but it also
serves as a reference for experienced ones. It helps to avoid dangerous situations and
reduce repair costs and downtimes. Furthermore, the reliability and the service life of the
machine will be increased by following the instructions in the Operator's Manual. This is
why the Operator's Manual must always be kept at hand in the machine.
Your own safety, as well as the safety of others, depends to a great extent on how the
machine is moved and operated. Therefore, carefully read and understand this Operator's
Manual prior to the first drive. This Operator's Manual will help to familiarise yourself more
easily with the machine, thereby enabling you to use it more safely and efficiently.
Prior to the first drive, carefully read chapter Safety Instructions as well, in order to be
prepared for possible dangerous situations, as it will be too late for it during operation. As a
rule, keep the following in mind:
Careful and prudent working is the best way to avoid accidents!
Operational safety and readiness of the machine do not only depend on your skill, but also
on maintenance and servicing of the machine. This is why regular maintenance and serv-
ice work is absolutely necessary. Extensive maintenance and repair work must always be
carried out by an expert with appropriate training. Insist on using original spare parts when
carrying out maintenance and repair work. This ensures operational safety and readiness
of your machine, and maintains its value.
Special equipment and superstructures are not described in this Operator's Manual.
We reserve the right to improve the technical standard of our machines without
adapting the Operator's Manual.
Modifying Wacker Neuson products and fitting them with additional equipment and
attachments not included in our delivery program requires Wacker Neuson's written
authorisation, otherwise warranty and product liability for possible damage caused by
these modifications shall not be applicable.
Subject to modifications and printing errors.
Your Wacker Neuson dealer will be pleased to answer any further questions regarding the
machine or the Operator's Manual.

Introduction
1.3 Brief description

The model 501 and 701 compact loaders are self-propelled work machines.
Get informed on and follow the legal regulations of your country.
This machine is a versatile and powerful helper for moving earth, gravel and debris on con-
struction sites and elsewhere. A wide range of attachments accounts for the numerous
applications of the machine. See chapter 1.4 Fields of application, attachments for further
applications.
The main components of the machine are:
ROPS tested cab
FOPS 1 tested cab
FOPS 2 tested cab (option)
Models 501s and 701s: water-cooled Yanmar diesel engine
Model 701sp is available as an option with features differing from model 701s as follows:
Yanmar turbocharged engine
Powerflow hydraulic system with increased oil flow
Sturdy steel sheet chassis, rubber-mounted engine

Hydrostatic drive
Four separate hydraulic motors/gear units
Hydraulic parking brake
Travelling drive
The diesel engine permanently drives two axial-piston variable displacement pumps
whose oil flow is sent to the right and left-hand side drive motors.
Work hydraulics
The diesel engine also drives the joint gear pump for the work hydraulics. The oil flow of
this pump depends on the diesel engine speed only.
Cooling system
The indicator lights in the instrument panel of the machine ensure constant monitoring of
the engine and hydraulic oil temperature, as well as of the coolant temperature and level.
Cab (ROPS and FOPS)

Modifying or carrying out improper repair work on the cab is dangerous. Do not modify the
cab. Repair work may be carried out by an authorised workshop only. If the cab has been
damaged, check it before resuming work and have it repaired if necessary. Please contact
your Wacker Neuson dealer for support. Failure to follow this precautionary measure can
lead to severe or fatal injury. The cab has been specially designed for your protection in
case of an accident.
Fasten your seatbelt, otherwise you can be thrown around or even outside the cab and
crushed. Therefore always fasten your seat belt as you drive and work with the machine.
Tighten the seat belt before taking up work with the machine.

Introduction
1.4 Fields of application, attachments

The attachments will decide in the first place how the loader is used.
Caution!
In order to avoid damage to the machine, only the attachments listed below
have been certified for installation on the machine.
Please contact your Wacker Neuson dealer if you wish to use other attach-
ments.
Using tools of other manufacturers, or tools which have been released for other loader
types, can reduce the machine's output and stability considerably, and can also cause
damage to the machine and injuries to the operator or the staff.
The buckets listed below have been released by Wacker Neuson and are certified for
transport on public roads. However, the national provisions of the country shall apply in
which the machine is used.
Attachments which have been subsequently released for your machine may possibly not
be certified for transport on public roads. This requires a separate certification from the
competent authority.
Always compare the weight of the attachment and its maximum payload with the indica-
tions in the lift capacity table. Never exceed the maximum payload.

For maximum traction force, move the levers fully forwards at full engine speed.
For safe control of the loader, always move the levers slowly and smoothly. Short move-
ments of the control levers are sufficient for moving the loader.
The hydrostatic drive acts as a service brake and stops the loader as soon as the steering
arms are returned to neutral position.
Notice!
Ensure that the wheels on the right and left move as you change direction, other-
wise the tyres are subject to increased abrasion.

Operation
3.11 Driving on slopes

Follow these safety instructions carefully when driving on slopes, in order to avoid acci-
dents.
Specific safety instructions

Always ensure that the parking brake works correctly before working on slopes.
When driving uphill or downhill, always direct the heavier part of the machine uphill.
Lower the equipment when driving uphill or downhill. Any movements with the loader
unit raised can cause the machine to tip over.
When working on slopes, take precautionary measures to protect the driver and
persons close to the machine from possible danger. Take the following into account:
Always inspect the work area carefully. Snow, small landslides, stones and loose soil
may suddenly change the work conditions and the machine's stability.
Lower the loader unit when changing position during work.
If possible, change to a lateral position below or above the slope. Should this not be
possible, keep the machine axis as parallel as possible to the direction of the slope.
Never change position on steep slopes or with a machine axis turned by 90 with
regard to the direction of the slope.
BA 5701 En Edition 3.1 *5701b330.fm 3-29

Operation
Driving on rough terrain

Lower the loader unit and tilt in the bucket fully before moving the machine. This not
only enables you to better estimate your space requirements, but also ensures
machine stability.
Move the control levers for the attachments smoothly if you need to do so when driving.
Jerky movements cause sudden changes in the machine's behaviour and make driving
more difficult.
Drive slowly on rough terrain and avoid fast movements of the loader unit.
Do not drive on obstacles if possible. If you need to clear obstacles, lower the loader
Fig. 41: Rough terrain unit to the lowest possible height and drive slowly. Do not drive on obstacles which
cause a strong inclination of the machine (10 or more).
The machine can tilt if a wheel runs over an obstacle or through a hole. In these cases,
reduce speed to minimum and ensure that the machine does not lose its balance.
Driving on slopes
Proceed as follows to prevent the machine from tipping over or slipping sideways.
When driving uphill or downhill, direct the heavier part of the machine uphill.
Do not drive in very wet meadows or on leaves. The machine risks slipping if working in
an inclined position.
Before working on slopes, ensure that the parking brake works correctly.
Never drive downhill at high speed, you risk losing control of the machine and causing a
severe or fatal accident.
Do not drive, under no circumstances, on slopes over 15. The machine could tip for-
wards or backwards.
Refuel immediately if the fuel level indicator moves to the red range when working on
slopes. Due to the strong inclination, the engine could take in air and die suddenly. This
in turn could jeopardise the safety of the driver and of any persons on the downhill side
of the slope.
Should the engine die suddenly, lower the bucket immediately and apply the parking
brake.
Fig. 42: Uphill/downhill
Always drive straight ahead when driving uphill or downhill. Driving diagonally or at an
angle to the slope is very dangerous. Do not go beyond a maximum departure angle of
26, otherwise the machine will tip over.
Never change direction on slopes or drive across slopes. Always change position on
level ground before continuing to drive on a slope.
Drive slowly in meadows, on leaves or wet steel plates. The machine can slip even if
the ground is level. If the engine stops as you drive across a slope, immediately put the
control levers to neutral position, apply the parking brake and start the engine again.

3.12 Parking the machine
Danger!
Always park the machine on firm ground
Danger of accidents
Lower the loader unit to the ground
Park the machine on level ground
Secure the wheels accordingly (e.g. chocks)
Stop the machine

Lower the loader unit to the ground
Ensure that the cutting edge touches the ground as you align the bucket with the
ground
Reduce engine speed completely
Apply the parking brake
Switch off ignition
Mount the anti-vandalism protection (option)
Caution!
Never stop the engine under full load, otherwise it can be damaged due to
overheating. Except in case of an emergency, always ensure that the engine
can cool down before it is stopped.
Let the engine run at idling speed with no load for at least 5 minutes before
you switch it off.
Parking the machine on slopes

Avoid stopping the machine abruptly. Always ensure that there is enough space for
stopping the machine.
Park the machine on level ground with sufficient bearing capacity. Never park on
slopes. If you cannot avoid parking the machine on a slope:
Place chocks under the wheels and lower the loader unit to the ground to prevent the
machine from moving.
Severe accidents may be caused by unintentionally actuating the control levers, and
hence moving the attachment or the entire machine.
Always apply the parking brake and remove the ignition key before leaving the seat

Do not load underneath projecting earth. Stones or the projecting earth can fall onto the
machine.
Do not excavate deeply under the front side of the machine. The ground under the
machine could collapse and cause it to tip over.
Do not carry out demolition work below the machine, otherwise it can lose its balance
and tip over.
When working on roofs or similar structures, check the resistance and the structure
itself before starting work. The building can collapse, causing severe injury and
damage.
Do not place the machine directly underneath the workplace during demolition,
otherwise demolished parts can fall onto the machine or the building can collapse,
causing severe injury or damage.
Do not use the impact force of the attachment to carry out demolition work. Demolished
parts can cause personal injury or damage to property or the equipment.
The machine can lose its balance and tilt if a demolition hammer or other heavy
attachment is used. Proceed as follows to carry out work both on level ground and on
slopes:
Never lower, turn or set down the attachment abruptly.
Do not extend or retract the bucket ram abruptly, otherwise the machine can tip over.
Do not raise the loader unit and the attachment over the heads of other workers or over
the seats of trucks or of other means of transport. The material can tip over, or the
attachment can knock against the truck and cause severe injury or damage.

Operation
Further practical hints for digging

When planning and carrying out digging work, we recommend that you observe the follow-
ing points:
Exits from pits must be outside the digging line and as level as possible
Dig by removing adjacent strips if possible
Ensure that you can drive forwards when driving out of the digging area with a fully
loaded bucket
Whenever possible, drive in reverse when transporting a full bucket down a steep slope
Loading vehicles
When loading vehicles, we recommend taking the following into account:
If possible, the truck and the working direction of the bucket should form an angle of
45
Only raise the full bucket to dump height when you are driving in a straight line towards
the truck
If possible dump with the wind behind you to keep the dust away from your eyes, air
filters and fans!
Loading vehicles Freeing the machine

If your machine gets stuck in the ground:
Dump out the bucket until the blade is vertical above the ground
Lower the loader unit all the way
Gradually tilt in the bucket
The machine is pushed backwards
Reverse slowly
Repeat this procedure until the wheels reach firm ground
Reverse the machine away

5.1 Introduction
Operational readiness and the service life of machines are heavily dependent on mainte-
nance.
It is therefore in the interest of the machine owner to carry out the prescribed maintenance
work.
Before carrying out service and maintenance work, always read, understand and follow
the instructions given in:
Chapter 2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS of this Operator's Manual
The Operator's Manuals of the attachments.
Carry out the prescribed inspections and rectify any disorders before putting the machine
into operation.
Secure open (engine) covers appropriately. Do not open (engine) covers on slopes or in
strong wind.
Dirt can be blown away and cause severe injuries when using compressed air. Always
wear protective goggles, masks and clothing.
Daily service and maintenance work, and maintenance according to maintenance plan
A must be carried out by a specifically trained driver. All other maintenance work must
be carried out by trained and qualified staff only.

5.4 Engine and hydraulics cooling system

The oil and water radiator is located in the engine compartment, behind the engine.
The water radiator cools the diesel engine, and the oil cooler cools the hydraulic oil of the
drive and work hydraulics.
The expansion tank for the coolant is also located in the engine compartment, in front of
and above the oil cooler.

Dirt on the radiator fins reduces the cooler's heat dissipation capacity!
To avoid this:
Clean the outside of the radiator at regular intervals. Use oil-free compressed air (2
bar max.) to clean. Maintain a certain distance from the radiator to avoid damage to
the radiator fins. Refer to the maintenance plans in the appendix for the cleaning
intervals
In dusty or dirty work conditions, clean more frequently than indicated in the mainte-
nance plans
An insufficient coolant level reduces the heat dissipation capacity as well and can lead
to engine damage! Therefore:
Check the coolant level at regular intervals. Refer to the maintenance plans in the
appendix for the intervals
If coolant must be added frequently, check the cooling system for leaks and/or con-
tact your dealer!
Never fill in cold water/coolant if the engine is warm!
After filling the expansion tank, make a test run with the engine and check the coolant
level again after stopping the engine
The use of the wrong coolant can destroy the engine and the cooler. Therefore:
Add enough antifreeze compound to the coolant but never more than 50 %. If pos-
sible use brand-name antifreeze compounds with anticorrosion additives
Observe the coolant compound table see chapter 6.12 Coolant compound table on
page 6-7
Do not use cooler cleaning compounds if an antifreeze compound has been added to
the coolant otherwise this causes sludge to form, which can damage the engine
Once you have filled the expansion tank:
Test run the engine
Stop the engine
Check the coolant level again
Environment!
Use a suitable container to collect the coolant as it drains and dispose of it in
an environmentally friendly manner!

Important information for the use of biodegradable oil

Use only the biodegradable hydraulic fluids which have been tested and approved by
Wacker Neuson GmbH. Always contact Wacker Neuson GmbH for the use of other
products which have not been recommended. In addition, ask the oil supplier for a
written declaration of guarantee. This guarantee is applicable to damage occurring on
the hydraulic components, which can be proved to be due to the hydraulic fluid
Use only biodegradable oil of the same type for filling up. In order to avoid misunder-
standings, a label providing clear information is located on the hydraulic oil tank (next to
the filler inlet) regarding the type of oil currently used!
The joint use of two different biodegradable oils can affect the quality of one of the oil
types. Therefore, ensure that the remaining amount of initial hydraulic fluid in the
hydraulic system does not exceed 8 % when changing biodegradable oil (manufacturer
indications)
Do not fill up with mineral oil the content of mineral oil should not exceed 2 % in order
to avoid foaming problems and to ensure biological degradability
When running the machine with biodegradable oil, the same oil and filter replacement
intervals are valid as for mineral oil see chapter 5.14 Maintenance plan (overview) on
page 5-33
Always have the condensation water in the hydraulic oil tank drained by an authorised
workshop before the cold season. The water content may not exceed 0.1 % by weight
The instructions in this Operator's Manual concerning environmental protection are also
valid for the use of biodegradable oil
If additional hydraulic attachments are mounted or operated, use the same type of
biodegradable oil for these attachments to avoid mixtures in the hydraulic system
Subsequent change from mineral oil to biodegradable oil must be carried out by an author-
ised workshop or by your Wacker Neuson partner

Checking hydraulic pressure lines

Danger!
Caution when checking hydraulic lines, especially when searching for leaks.
Hydraulic oil escaping under high pressure can penetrate the skin and cause
serious injuries.
Always consult a doctor immediately, even if the wound seems insignificant
otherwise serious infections could set in!
Always observe the following instructions:
Retighten leaking screwed fittings and hose connections only when the
system is not under pressure; i.e. release the pressure before working
on pressurised lines!
Never weld or solder damaged or leaking pressure lines and screw con-
nections. Replace damaged parts with new ones!
Never search for leaks with your bare hands, but wear protective gloves!
Use paper or wood to check for minor leaks. Never use an unprotected
light or naked flame!
Have damaged flexible lines replaced by authorised workshops only!
Leaks and damaged pressure lines must be immediately repaired or replaced by an

authorised workshop or after-sales staff.
This not only increases the operating safety of your machine but also helps to protect
the environment
Replace hydraulic hoses every 6 years from the date of manufacture, even if they do
not seem to be damaged

Clean the seat belt (which remains fitted in the machine) only with a mild soap solution;
do not use chemical agents as they can destroy the fabric!
Under the cab

see chapter Tilting the cab on page 3-42
Caution!
When cleaning under the cab, open the dirt openings in the floor of the chassis
first, otherwise the hydraulic hoses can be damaged if they are immersed in
water or if the water freezes in winter, reducing the elasticity of the hoses!
Exterior of the machine

The following articles are generally suitable:
High-pressure cleaner
Steam jet
Engine compartment
Danger!
Clean the engine at engine standstill only
Stop the engine before cleaning
Caution!
When cleaning the engine with a water or steam jet
The engine must be cold
and do not point the jet directly at electric sensors such as the oil pressure
switch.
The humidity penetrating any such sensors causes them to fail and leads to
engine damage!
