CALIFORNIA
Proposition
65 Warning
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components, contain
or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Laws
pertaining to
spark
arresters
NOTICE: State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources Codes specify that in
certain locations spark arresters be used on internal combustion engines that use
hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a device designed to prevent accidental dis-
charge of sparks or flames from the engine exhaust. Spark arresters are qualified
and rated by the United States Forest Service for this purpose. In order to comply
with local laws regarding spark arresters, consult the engine distributor or the local
Health and Safety Administrator.

Emission Control System Information

1 Emission Control System Information
Source of Emissions
The combustion process produces carbon monoxide, oxides of
nitrogen, and hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons and oxides of
nitrogen is very important because, under certain conditions, they
react to form photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight. Carbon
monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is toxic.
Wacker Neuson utilizes lean carburetor settings and other systems to
reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and
hydrocarbons.
The U.S. and California Clean Air Acts
EPA and California regulations require all manufacturers to furnish
written instructions describing the operation and maintenance of
emission control systems.
The following instructions and procedures must be followed in order to
keep the emissions from your Wacker Neuson engine within the
emissions standards.
Tampering and Altering
Tampering with or altering the emission control system may increase
emissions beyond the legal limit. Among those acts that constitute
tampering are:
•Removal or alteration of any part of the intake, fuel, or exhaust
systems.
•Altering or defeating the speed-adjusting mechanism to cause the
engine to operate outside its design parameters.
Problems That May Affect Emissions
If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have your engine
inspected and repaired by your servicing dealer.
•Hard starting or stalling after starting.
•Rough idle.
•Misfiring or backfiring under load.
•Afterburning (backfiring).
•Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption.

Replacement Parts
The emission control systems on your Wacker Neuson engine were
designed, built, and certified to conform with EPA and California
emissions regulations. We recommend the use of genuine Wacker
Neuson parts whenever you have maintenance done. These original-
design replacement parts are manufactured to the same standards as
the original parts, so you can be confident of their performance. The
use of replacement parts that are not of the original design and quality
may impair the effectiveness of your emission control system.
A manufacturer of an aftermarket part assumes the responsibility that
the part will not adversely affect emission performance. The
manufacturer or rebuilder of the part must certify that use of the part
will not result in a failure of the engine to comply with emission
regulations.
Maintenance
Follow the maintenance schedule. Remember that this schedule is
based on the assumption that your machine will be used for its
designed purpose. Sustained high-load or high-temperatureoperation,
or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, will require more frequent
service.
OXYGENATED FUELS
Some conventional gasolines are being blended with alcohol or an
ether compound. These gasolines are collectively referred to as
oxygenated fuels. To meet clean air standards, some areas of the
United States and Canada use oxygenated fuels to help reduce
emissions.
If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it is unleaded and meets the
minimum octane rating requirement.
Before using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm the fuel’s contents.
Some States / Provinces require this information to be posted on the
pump.
The following are EPA-approved percentages of oxygenates:
ETHANOL - (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10% by volume. You may use
gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume. Gasoline containing
ethanol may be marketed under the name “Gasohol”. E85 fuel should
never be used, as it is an alternative fuel containing 85% ethanol, 15%
gasoline.
MTBE - (methyl tertiary butyl ether) 15% by volume. You may use
gasoline containing up to 15% MTBE by volume.

Emission Control System Information
wc_tx000369gb.fm 9
METHANOL - (methyl or wood alcohol) 5% by volume. You may use
gasoline containing up to 5% methanol by volume, as long as it
contains cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect the fuel system.
Gasoline containing more than 5% methanol by volume may cause
starting and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal,
rubber, and plastic parts of your fuel system.
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.
