Replacement Parts
The emission control systems on your Wacker engine were designed,
built, and certified to conform with EPA and California emissions
regulations. We recommend the use of genuine Wacker 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-temperature operation,
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”.
MTBE - (methyl tertiary butyl ether) 15% by volume. You may use
gasoline containing up to 15% MTBE by volume.
