New Machine Set-up
Trowels are shipped from the factory with the handle removed. Follow the
instructions in
Installing the Blades
,
Installing the Handle
, and
Adjusting the Handle
when setting up new machines or when installing new handles and blades.
4.2
Preparing the Machine for First Use
1. Make sure all loose packaging materials have been removed from the machine.
2. Check the machine and its components for damage. If there is visible damage,
do not operate the machine! Contact your Wacker Neuson dealer immediately
for assistance.
3. Take inventory of all items included with the machine and verify that all loose
components and fasteners are accounted for.
4. Attach component parts not already attached.
5. Add fluids as needed and applicable, including fuel and engine oil.
6. Move the machine to its operating location.
4.3
Recommended Fuel (Gasoline)
The engine requires regular grade unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of
86 or higher. Observe the following regarding fuel:
Use only fresh, clean gasoline.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture.
Do not allow dirt or water to enter the fuel tank.
Occasionally there may be a light “spark knock” or “pinging” (metallic rapping
noise) while operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern. If spark
knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load, change
brands of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists, see an authorized servicing
dealer.
Consult the engine owner’s manual for complete fuel specifications.
Use of
oxygenated
fuels
Some conventional gasolines are blended with alcohol or an ether compound.
These gasolines are collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. If using 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.
CAUTION
The machine is shipped without engine oil.
►
Fill the engine with the correct oil to the correct level before using the machine.
