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
Some conventional gasolines are blended with alcohol. These gasolines are
oxygenated
collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure
fuels
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.
