Preparing the Machine for First Use

1. Make sure all loose packaging materials have been removed from the machine.

6. Move the machine to its operating location.
  

3.2

Recommended Fuel

This engine is certified to operate on automotive unleaded gasoline. Use only 
fresh, clean gasoline. Gasoline containing water or dirt will damage the fuel 
system. 

Use of 
oxygenated 
fuels

Some conventional gasolines are blended with alcohol. These gasolines are 
collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure 
it is unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating requirement.

Before using an oxygenated fuel, confirm the fuel’s contents. Some states and 
provinces require this information to be posted on the fuel pump.

The following is the Wacker Neuson approved percentage of oxygenates:

ETHANOL

 - (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10% by volume. You may use gasoline 

containing up to 10% ethanol by volume (commonly referred to as E10). Gasoline 
containing more than 10% ethanol (such as E15, E20, or E85) may not be used 
because it could damage the engine.

If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try another service station, or 
switch to another brand of gasoline.

Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting from the use of an 
oxygenated fuel containing more than the percentages of oxygenates mentioned 
above are not covered under warranty.
