Machine Description and Intended Use

CRT v36-26A

This machine is a ride-on concrete finishing trowel. The Wacker Neuson Ride-On

Trowel consists of a frame onto which are mounted a gasoline or diesel engine, a fuel tank, a water tank, two gearboxes joined by a drive shaft, and an operator’s platform with controls and a seat. A set of metal blades is connected to each gearbox. A ring guard surrounds the blades. The engine rotates the blades via the gearboxes and a clutch mechanism. The rotating blades ride on the surface of curing concrete, creating a smooth finish. The operator, who sits on the operator’s platform, uses the controls and the throttle pedal to control speed and direction of the machine.

This machine is intended to be used for floating and burnishing curing concrete.

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.

4.3

Recommended Fuel

Use of oxygenated fuels

Operation

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.

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.

4.4

Position of the Operator

Safe and efficient use of this machine is the operator’s responsibility. Full control of the machine is not possible unless the operator maintains the proper working position at all times.

While operating this machine the operator must:

The Ride-On Trowel features a seat with an integrated “operator presence” system, which works in conjunction with a throttle mounted switch. This system allows the engine to remain running (idling) with no operator seated in the seat, as long as the throttle is not depressed. This system meets all safety requirements and eliminates the need for a foot-operated “kill switch”.

Introduction to the trowel

To familiarize a new operator with the Ride-On Trowel, the following steps should be taken:

1. With the operator in the seat, show him or her the functions of the control arms

(c)

and how to start the machine.

2. Have the operator practice steering the trowel. A hard concrete slab slightly wetted with water is an ideal place for an operator to practice with the machine.

For this practice, pitch the blades up approximately 6.35 mm (0.25 in.) on the leading edge. Start by making the machine hover in one spot, and then practice moving the machine in a straight line and making 180° turns. The

best control

is achieved at full rpm.

Common Maintenance

Safety Practices

Use Proper Ventilation

Never run an engine in an enclosed area without an approved ventilation system.

Ventilate work area

WARNING!

Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide which could be deadly if inhaled.

Never operate any type of engine without proper ventilation.

EXHAUST FUMES CAN KILL.

A feeling of tiredness, or nausea, is an indication of being overcome by exhaust. Shut the engine off immediately if this occurs.

Fuel Hazards

WARNING!

Avoid serious injury or death.

Always use approved fuel containers and/or fuel dispensing equipment to reduce the risk of explosion or fire.

Always observe these practices to reduce the possibility of a serious accident:

• Shut off engine and ignition during refueling.

• Turn off all electrical switches.

• Ground the fuel nozzle against the filler neck.

• Keep sparks and open flames away from fuel. Do not smoke while refueling or when handling fuel containers.

• Do not cut or weld on or near fuel lines, tanks or containers.

• Do not overfill the tank or spill fuel. Clean up spilled fuel immediately. Clean spills immediately.

No smoking and no open flames


Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) Hazard

WARNING!

Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) poses a greater static ignition hazard than earlier diesel formulations with higher sulfur content. Avoid death or serious injury from fire or explosion;

consult with your fuel or fuel system supplier to ensure the delivery system is in compliance with fueling standards for proper grounding and bonding practices.

Engine Coolant Hazards

WARNING!

Avoid serious injury or death. Liquid cooling systems build up pressure as the engine gets hot, so

use extreme caution before removing the radiator cap.

• Stop the engine and wait for the system to cool.

• Wear protective clothing and safety glasses.

• Turn the radiator cap slowly to the first stop to allow the pressure to escape before removing completely.

CAUTION!

Before replacing engine coolant, refer to the manufacturer’s operating manual(s) for direction.

Using incorrect coolant type may cause overheating and increase safety risks.

Hydraulic System Hazards

Be sure to follow manufacturer’s instructions for relieving fluid pressure before performing any maintenance. The hydraulic system is pressurized whenever the engine is on and may hold pressure even after the engine is shut off. Cycle hydraulic controls, including auxiliary hydraulic control (if equipped), after the engine is shut off.

Check for leaks and inspect hoses

Allow radiator to cool before removing cap slowly


Hydraulic System Hazards (cont.)

During inspection of the hydraulic system:

• Wait for fluid to cool before disconnecting the lines

Hot hydraulic fluid can cause

severe burns.

• Wear appropriate eye protection. Hydraulic fluid can cause permanent eye injury.

• When venting or filling the hydraulic system, loosen the filler cap slowly and remove it gradually.

•

Never

reset any relief valve in the hydraulic system to a pressure higher than recommended by the manufacturer.

• Visually examine the hydraulic hoses or fluid lines in the vicinity of the leak for breaks or cracks.

Do not

use your hand to check for leaks.

• Repair or replace hydraulic lines according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Fluid injection injuries are not always obvious. Victims have reported such injuries feel like a bee sting or splinter under the skin. If you suspect you have a fluid injection injury, do not take chances. Seek proper medical care immediately. If any fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this type of injury.

28

Hydraulic Fluid Injection Hazard

WARNING!

Accidental injection of pressurized fluid into the hands or body is dangerous and could result in death or serious injury.

Use caution when checking hydraulic leaks as pressurized hydraulic fluid has enough force to penetrate skin, causing serious personal injury.

If a leak is discovered:

• Ensure engine is turned off; relieve pressure in hydraulic circuit.

• Wear proper hand and eye protection.

Wear eye protection



Battery Hazards

The liquid in batteries contains acid, which is a POISON and could cause SEVERE CHEMICAL BURNS.

Avoid injury:

• Wear a face shield to prevent contact with your eyes.

• Wear chemical-resistant gloves and clothing to keep electrolyte off your skin and regular clothing.

WARNING!

Electrolyte will damage eyes or skin on contact.

Always wear a face shield to avoid electrolyte in eyes.

If liquid from the battery contacts your eyes, flush immediately with clean water and get medical attention.

Wear chemical-resistant gloves and protective clothing to keep liquid off your skin. If liquid contacts exposed skin or clothing, wash off immediately with clean water.

If liquid is ingested, drink large quantities of water or milk. DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.

Wear hand protection

Wear face protection


30

Avoid Explosion

WARNING!

Avoid serious injury from explosion.

Lead-acid batteries produce extremely explosive gases especially when being charged.

Keep arcs, sparks, flames and lighted tobacco away.

•

Do not

smoke near batteries.

• Keep them away from arcs, sparks and open flames.

• Provide adequate ventilation.

Never

check the battery by placing a metal object across the battery posts. The resulting spark could cause an explosion.

Emission Control Systems Information and Warranty—Gasoline

9 Emission 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.

9.1

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.













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


79


Tampering and altering

Tampering with or altering the emission control system may increase emissions beyond the legal limit. If evidence of tampering is found, Wacker Neuson may deny a warranty claim. Among those acts that constitute tampering are:





Removing or altering of any part of the air intake, fuel, or exhaust systems.

Altering or defeating the speed-adjusting mechanism causing the engine to operate outside its design parameters.
