Operation
Manual starter
Do not allow starter handle F to whiplash against the engine.
☞ Carefully move back handle F to avoid damage to the starter.
☞ Slightly pull starter handle F until you can feel a resistance, then firmly pull the handle.
Electric starter
☞ Turn starter G to position H and keep it in this position until the engine starts.
➥ Move the switch back to position I after the engine has started.
Do not actuate the electric starter for more than 5 seconds. If the engine does not
start, release the ignition switch and wait 10 seconds before actuating the starter
again.
Circuit-breaker (for electric starter):
The circuit-breaker protects the battery’s load circuit. The circuit-breaker is triggered in
case of a short circuit or if the battery’s terminals are inverted.
The green indicator in the circuit-breaker is ejected to indicate that the circuit-breaker has
been triggered. In this case find out the cause for the error or contact your Wacker Neuson
workshop before resetting the circuit-breaker.
☞ Press circuit-breaker button J back in to reset.
Starting at low temperatures
When the engine runs smoothly (increased engine speed):
In general, a battery delivers less energy in cold conditions. Therefore ensure that
the battery is always well charged.
When the engine has started
☞ Gradually push choke lever A to position B
☞ Let the engine warm up
➥ After the engine has reached its operating temperature, move choke lever A fully to
the right
At cold temperatures:
☞ Increase the engine speed slowly
☞ Do not run the engine at full load until it has reached its operating temperature
