16.1 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 / Provinces require this
information to be posted on the fuel pump.
The following are Wacker Neuson approved percentages 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.
