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