4.2 Recommended Fuel
Type
This engine/equipment requires regular unleaded gasoline.
•
Use only fresh (no older than three months old), clean gasoline.
• Use a fuel stabilizer per the fuel stabilizer manufacturer’s
instructions.
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 / Provinces 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 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.
