1.2Machine Description and Intended Use
This machine is a centrifugal trash pump. The Wacker Neuson Trash Pump
consists of a trailer with integral fuel tank onto which are mounted a diesel engine,
and an impeller pump with ports for water suction and discharge. The engine
rotates the impeller during operation. Waste water is drawn into the pump through
the suction port and expelled through the discharge port. The operator connects
hoses to the pump and routes them so that water and solids are drained from the
work area and discharged into an appropriate location.
This machine is intended to be used for general de-watering application s. This machine
is intended for the pumping of clear water, or water containing solids up to the size
stated within the product specifications; and up to the flow, head, and suction lift limits
also stated within the product specifications.
This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use described
above. Using the machine for any other purpose could permanently damage the
machine or seriously injure the operator or other persons in the area. Machine
damage caused by misuse is not covered under warranty.
The following are some examples of misuse:
Pumping flammable, explosive, or corrosive fluids
Pumping hot or volatile fluids that result in pump cavitation
Operating the pump outside of product specifications due to incorrect diameter
hoses, incorrect length hoses, other inlet or outlet restrictions, or excessive
suction lift or head
Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface
Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment
Operating the machine outside of factory specifications
Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings found on the
machine and in the Operator’s Manual
This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the latest global
safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate hazards as far as
practicable and to increase operator safety through protective guards and labeling.
However, some risks may rema in even after protective measures have been t aken.
They are called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to:
Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide from the engine
Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques
Fuel and its fumes
Personal injury from improperly lifting the trailer tongue
Projectile hazard from discharge
Crushing hazards from a tipping or falling pump (placing the vibrating pump on
an uneven surface or near the edge of a trench increases the risk of the pump
falling over)
Typical hazards related to towing a trailer on roads and highways
To protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and understand the
safety information presented in this manual before operating the machine.

Safety-toed footwear
Do not open the priming plug when the pump is hot. Do not loosen or remove
inlet or discharge hose fittings when the pump is hot. Hot water inside could be
pressurized much like the radiator on an automobile. Allow the pump to cool to
the touch before loosening the plug and before loosening or removing the inlet
or discharge hose fittings.
Do not position the pump on a loose, uneven, or unstable surface where it can
tip, roll, slide or fall! The pump must be secure before operating. Position the
pump on a firm, flat surface; adjust the trailer jacks to be sure the pump is level
and supported firmly.
Do not open the pump housing cover while the pump is operating or start the
pump with the cover off. The rotating impeller inside the pump can cut or sever
objects caught in it.
Do not block or restrict flow from the inlet line or the discharge line. Remove
kinks from the discharge line before starting the pump. Operation with a blocked
inlet line or discharge line can cause water inside the pump to overheat.
Do not reach into or insert anything into the pump while the engine is on! The
impeller inside the pump housing is turning at all times while the engine is
running.
Do not allow anyone to stand in front of the discharge port when starting the
engine or while priming the pump! The sudden out-rush of water could push or
knock a person down.
Always make sure the hose connections on the pump are tight. A loose
connection could cause water to spray or result in a hose falling off the pump
while it is in operation.
Always make sure the water stream from the pump discharge is not directed in
such a way so as to cause erosion to the surrounding ground or damage or
weakening of nearby structures!

4.1Preparing 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.
4.2Recommended 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.

5.11Adjusting the Impeller Clearance
If it is necessary to replace impeller or volute insert, be sure clearance between
impeller and insert is adjusted correctly.
The impeller (e) should be as close to the insert (a) as possible without rubbing
against it. Clearance is adjusted by adding or removing shims (b) from behind
insert. Inserts are attached to the pump cover and must be unbolted (c) before they
can be removed.
Check clearance (d) between impeller and insert by slowly pulling starter rope to
turn impeller.
Note: Remove spark plug to make it easier to turn impeller. On diesel engines,
open decompression device before cranking engine.
If starter or crank is difficult to turn, or rubbing is heard from inside pump, the
impeller and insert are too close to each other. Remove a shim from behind insert
and check again for rubbing. Continue removing shims until impeller turns easily.
Note: It is important not to remove too many shims or the clearance between the
impeller and insert will become too wide and pump performance will be reduced.
As the impeller wears down, additional shims may be required to maintain the
clearance between the impeller and insert.

Emission Control Systems Information and Warranty—
8Emission Control Systems Information and Warranty—Gasoline
The Emission Control Warranty and associated information is valid only for the
U.S.A., its territories, and Canada.
8.1Emission Control System Background Information
Introduction
Wacker Neuson spark-ignited engines/equipment must conform with applicable
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State of California 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 and California regulations require all manufacturers to furnish
written instructions describing how to operate and maintain the e ngines/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
toxic.
Wacker Neuson utilizes lean carburetor settings and other systems to reduce the
emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons.
Evaporative Emissions
Evaporative emissions are fuel emissions and generally include emissions that
result from permeation of fuel through the fuel-system materials or from ventilation
of the fuel system.
Wacker Neuson utilizes low-permeation fuel lines and fuel tanks where applicable
to reduce evaporative emissions.
Problems that may affect Emissions
If any of the following symptoms arise, have the engine/equipment inspected and
repaired by a Wacker Neuson dealer/service center.
Hard starting or stalling after starting
Rough idling
Misfiring or backfiring under load
Afterburning (backfiring)
Presence of black exhaust smoke during operation
High fuel consumption
