PTS 4V Operation
4 Operation
4.1 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, engine oil, and battery
acid.
6. Move the machine to its operating location.
NOTICE: There is no oil in the engine! To avoid permanently damaging the
engine, oil must be added before operating the machine for the first time. See
Technical Data for quantity and type.
4.2 Recommended Fuel
The engine requires regular grade unleaded gasoline. Use only fresh, clean
gasoline. Gasoline containing water or dirt will damage the fuel system. Consult
the engine owner’s manual for complete fuel specifications.
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.
