2. Emission Control System Information

Source of 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 utilizes lean carburetor settings and other systems to reduce

the emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and

hydrocarbons.

The U.S. and California Clean Air Acts

EPA and California regulations require all manufacturers to furnish

written instructions describing the operation and maintenance of

emission control systems.

The following instructions and procedures must be followed in order to

keep the emissions from your Wacker engine within the emissions

standards.

Tampering and Altering

Tampering with or altering the emission control system may increase

emissions beyond the legal limit. Among those acts that constitute

tampering are:

•Removal or alteration of any part of the intake, fuel, or exhaust

systems.

•Altering or defeating the speed-adjusting mechanism to cause the

engine to operate outside its design parameters.

Problems That May Affect Emissions

If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have your engine

inspected and repaired by your servicing dealer.

•Hard starting or stalling after starting.

•Rough idle.

•Misfiring or backfiring under load.

•Afterburning (backfiring).

•Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption.

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.

Emission Control System Information WM 90

wc_tx000369gb.fm 6

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.
