17.1 Use of oxygenated fuels
Some conventional gasolines are blended with alcohol. These gasolines are col-
lectively 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 / Prov-
inces require this information to be posted on the fuel pump.
The following are Wacker Neuson approved percentages of oxygenates:
Ethanol - (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10% by volume. You may use gasoline contain-
ing up to 10% ethanol by volume (commonly referred to as E10). Gasoline con-
taining more than 10% ethanol (such as E15, E20, or E85) may not be used be-
cause 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 oxy-
genated fuel containing more than the percentages of oxygenates mentioned
above are not covered under warranty.
