6.2

Functional description

Principle

The machine is a demolition hammer with a pneumatic percussion system.

It is driven by a gasoline engine.

The rotary movement of the drive engine is converted into a stroke movement via a transmission and a crank gear.

The piston is moved forwards and backwards by the crank gear, this compresses the air (forward movement) or generates a partial vacuum (backward movement). Due to change in pressure the percussion piston is moved forward and backwards (air cushion percussion system) and hits the tool.

The hood and operator's controls are decoupled from the percussion system by a spring system. This spring system keeps vibrations away from the operator's body if he for example presses his body against the hood while working.

Integrated shut-off device – RS (optional)

The machine has an integrated shut-off device for connecting to an external remote cut-off.

Via the remote cut-off, you can switch off several machines from a central location. This is for the safety of the operators, e.g. in track construction work.

If you wish to use your machine with a remote cut-off, please contact your

Wacker Neuson representative.

Low Vib (optional)

The machine has very low hand-arm vibration and allows fatigue-free working.

16 Emission control systems information and warranty

16 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.

16.1

Emission 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 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 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.

Owner’s warranty responsibility

The engine/equipment owner is responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in the Wacker Neuson engine/equipment operator’s manual.

Wacker Neuson recommends that all receipts covering maintenance on the engine/equipment be retained, but Wacker Neuson cannot deny warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for the failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

Normal maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control devices and systems may be performed by any repair establishment or individual; however, warranty repairs must be performed by an authorized Wacker Neuson dealer/ service center.

The engine/equipment must be presented to an authorized Wacker Neuson dealer/service center as soon as a problem exists. Contact Wacker Neuson

Product Support Department (1-800-770-0957) or visit www.wackerneuson.com

to find a dealer/service center in your area, or to answer questions regarding warranty rights and responsibilities.

How to make a claim

In the event that any emission-related part is found to be defective during the warranty period, you shall notify Wacker Neuson Product Support Department

(1-800-770-0957), and you will be advised of the appropriate dealer/service center where warranty repair can be performed. All repairs qualifying under this limited warranty must be performed by an authorized Wacker Neuson dealer/service center.

You must take your Wacker Neuson engine/equipment along with proof of original purchase date, at your expense, to the authorized Wacker Neuson dealer/ service center during their normal business hours.

For owners located more than 100 miles from an authorized dealer/service center (excluding the states with high-altitude areas as identified in 40 CFR Part

1068, Appendix III), Wacker Neuson will pay for pre-approved shipping costs to and from an authorized Wacker Neuson dealer/service center.

Claims for repair or adjustment found to be caused solely by defects in material or workmanship will not be denied because the engine/equipment was not properly maintained and used.

The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

17.1

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.

Methanol - (methyl or wood alcohol) 5% by volume. You may use gasoline containing up to 5% methanol by volume, as long as it contains cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect the fuel system. Gasoline containing more than 5% methanol by volume may cause starting and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts of your fuel system.

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.
