1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use

This machine is a vibratory concrete screed. The Wacker Neuson Wet

Screed consists of a gasoline engine, a fuel tank, a metal blade, an

eccentric weight positioned at the center of the metal blade, and a

control handle. The gasoline engine spins the eccentric weight

through a drive shaft, producing vibrations that travel the length of the

metal blade. The operator uses the control handle to pull the machine

across uncured concrete.

This machine is intended to be used for striking off uncured concrete

slabs with or without the support of grade stakes or forms.

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.

The following are some examples of misuse:

• Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface

• Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment

• Engaging the screed when not on uncured concrete

• Operating the machine on non-compactable surfaces, such as

asphalt or cured concrete

• Operating the machine outside of factory specifications

• Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings

found on the machine and in the Operator’s Manual

This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the

latest global safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to

eliminate hazards as far as practicable and to increase operator

safety through protective guards and labeling. However, some risks

may remain even after protective measures have been taken. They

are called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure

to:

• Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide from the engine

• Chemical burns from the curing concrete

• Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques

• Fuel and its fumes, fuel spillage from improper lifting technique

• Personal injury from improper lifting techniques or operating

techniques

• Excessive vibration by holding the blade

To protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and

understand the safety information presented in this manual before

operating the machine.

4.4 Recommended Fuel

The engine requires regular grade unleaded gasoline. Use only fresh,

clean gasoline. Gasoline containing water or dirt will damage fuel

system. Consult engine owner’s manual for complete fuel

specifications.

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.

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.

4.5 Before Starting

4.5.1 Read and understand safety and operating instructions at beginning of

this manual.

4.5.2 Check:

• Oil level in engine.

• Fuel level.

• Condition of air cleaner.
