gasoline so that the engine is lubricated as it burns fuel.
NOTICE: Use only the recommended gasoline/oil mixture to fuel this machine.
Using gasoline alone will severely damage the engine.
Use only Wacker Neuson two-cycle or other fully synthetic oil meeting the
NMMA TC-W3, JASO FD, or ISO-L-EGD specification.
A gasoline/oil ratio in a range from 50:1 to 100:1 can be used. For optimum
engine performance and durability, a 100:1 ratio with a fully synthetic oil meeting
the specification described above is preferred.
Mix regular unleaded gasoline and two-cycle motor oil in a separate container
before filling the tank.
Refer to the chart below for the proper quantities to use when mixing gasoline
and oil.
10 liters 200 ml 3 gallons 8.0 oz. 10 liters 100 ml 3 gallons 4.0 oz.
15 liters 300 ml 5 gallons 13.0 oz. 15 liters 150 ml 5 gallons 6.5 oz.
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.

5.9 Checking and Changing the Ramming System Oil
Background
Checking the
oil level
Lubricating oil is distributed throughout the ramming system by the vibrating action
of the rammer. Holes drilled in the piston carry oil from the bottom of the rammer to
the crankcase as the rammer operates. Oil in the ramming system must be
maintained at the correct level to ensure that the ramming system operates
efficiently.
Perform the following procedure to check the ramming system oil level.
Note: If the rammer has been transported in the horizontal position or has recently
been used, place it upright and allow it to stand in the upright position for 15
minutes before checking the oil level. This will allow the oil to settle and provide a
more accurate reading.
1. Tip the rammer so that it is perpendicular with the ground.
Adding oil
2. Check the oil through the sightglass (a).
The correct oil level will fill 1/2 to 3/4 of the sightglass. Add more oil if necessary.
Perform the following procedure to add oil to the ramming system.

Emission Control Systems Information and Warranty
8 Emission Control Systems Information and Warranty
The Emission Control Warranty and associated information is valid only for the
U.S.A., its territories, and Canada.
8.1 Emission Control System Background Information
Introduction
Wacker Neuson spark-ignited engines/equipment must conform with applicable
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emissions regulations. There are two
types of emissions that fall under these regulations: 1) exhaust, and 2) evaporative.
These regulations require that manufacturers warrant the emission control systems
for defects in materials and workmanship.
Furthermore, EPA regulations require all manufacturers to furnish written
instructions describing how to operate and maintain the engines/equipment
including the emission control systems. This information is provided with all
Wacker Neuson engines/equipment at the time of purchase.
Exhaust 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
