■ Before disconnecting hydraulic fittings or hoses, ensure that all pressure has
been bled from the circuit. Set all controls in neutral, turn the engine off, and
allow the fluids to cool before loosening hydraulic fittings or attaching test
gauges.
■ Hydraulic oil escaping under high pressure may penetrate the skin, causing
burns, blindness, or other serious injuries or infections. Contact a physician
immediately for treatment if your skin has been penetrated by hydraulic oil, even
if the wound seems minor.
■ Fluid leaks from small holes are often practically invisible. Do not use your bare
hands to check for leaks. Check for leaks using a piece of cardboard or wood.
■ Hydraulic oil is extremely flammable. Stop the engine immediately if a hydraulic
leak is detected.
■ After servicing the hydraulics, make sure all components are reconnected to the
proper fittings. Failure to do so may result in damage to the machine and/or
injury to a person on or near the machine.
1.7 Safety Guidelines for Lifting the Machine

When lifting the machine:
■ Make sure slings, chains, hooks, ramps, jacks, forklifts, cranes, hoists, and any
other type of lifting device used is attached securely and has enough weight-
bearing capacity to lift or hold the machine safely. See the Technical Data
chapter for machine weight.
■ Remain aware of the location of other people when lifting the machine.
■ Only use the lifting points and tie-downs described in the Operator’s Manual.
■ Make sure the transporting vehicle has sufficient load capacity and platform size
to safely transport the machine.
To reduce the possibility of injury:
■ Do not stand under the machine while it is being lifted or moved.
■ Do not get onto the machine while it is being lifted or moved.

4.6 Features and Controls
This machine is designed specifically for remote control operation. This feature
protects the operator by allowing him or her to stand at a distance from the
machine, and the work area, during operation. When used in excavations, it allows
the operator to stand safely above the trench, rather than in it.
The SC-3 transmitter (a) is designed for infra-red (IR) remote-controlled operations
only. The coil cord (b) is only used for charging the transmitter battery or supplying
power to the transmitter when there is no battery. No control signals are sent
through the cord.
wc_gr012172
The infra-red system includes the transmitter and receiving eyes. This system
provides wireless line-of-sight operation up to 20 meters (65 feet). It uses a hand-
held transmitter to transmit signals to the receiving eyes on the machine to control
machine operation. Only one eye needs to receive a signal for proper operation.
When operating multiple rollers within 20 meters (65 feet) of one another, it is
possible that the transmitter from one roller can inadvertently take control of
another roller. This can occur when multiple rollers are set to the same control
channel as that of one transmitter. To prevent the transmitter from one roller
inadvertently taking control of another roller, be certain that each roller and its
accompanying transmitter are set to a different control channel than the other
rollers/transmitters being used within the area. Refer to section Infra-red System
and Control Channels for additional information.

Ref. Component Description
a Charging system The engine is equipped with an alternator and voltage regulator to maintain the
light battery charge. The charging system warning light illuminates when there is a
malfunction of the system. Although the machine will run with the light on for a
short period of time, continued operation will drain the battery and eventually
cause the machine to lose all operating functions.
If the system warning light illuminates while operating the machine in a narrow
trench or other confined area, drive machine into a safer area as soon as
possible to avoid stranding it in a hazardous or inaccessible location.
b Glow plug light The engine is equipped with an automatic glow plug system that pre-heats the
combustion chambers to improve normal and cold weather starts. The glow plug
light illuminates when the keyswitch and the transmitter ON/OFF switch are
placed in the ON (l) positions. It will go off when the combustion chambers are
pre-heated.
Allow 5 minutes for the engine to warm up before operating the roller.
c Air cleaner light The air cleaner warning light illuminates when the air filter cartridge needs to be
replaced.
d Hour meter The hour meter records the actual running time of the engine. Use the hour
meter when planning scheduled maintenance.
e Engine oil The oil pressure warning light illuminates when oil pressure falls below the
pressure light engine manufacturer's recommended value. During such a condition, the engine
will automatically shut down.
f Coolant The cooling temperature warning light illuminates when engine coolant
temperature light temperature exceeds 230°F (110°C). During such a condition, the engine will
automatically shut down.
Allow temperature to drop below 212°F/100°C before attempting to restart.
44
RT / RTx Operation
Ref. Component Description
g Coolant level light The cooling level warning light illuminates when coolant level is too low. During
such a condition, the engine will automatically shut down.
h Stability light The stability warning light illuminates when the pitch of the roller exceeds 45°.
The machine is equipped with safety switches that shut down the engine during
such a condition.
j Keyswitch Turning the keyswitch to the ON (I) position supplies 12VDC power to the
machine. The green power-on indicator (k) illuminates indicating power is on.
The keyswitch has an automatic shutoff feature that powers off the electronics
after one hour of non-engine run time. To reset the machine, turn the keyswitch
to the OFF (O) position and then back to the ON (I) position.
The machine can be restarted within this 1-hour period if the transmitter is
turned off and then on. The glow plugs will be activated if needed.
All shutdown functions have a fault detection feature where the warning light and
red LED light rings remain on after the machine shuts down, until the fault is
corrected, and the keyswitch is turned to the OFF (O) position.
All shutdown functions and the air filter restriction circuit have built-in circuitry to
detect a possible bad sensor, unplugged sensor, or a cut or damaged wire to the
sensor. Whenever any of these sensor faults occur, the corresponding control
panel light will flash on and off.

Operation RT / RTx
4.13 Infra-red System and Control Channels
The infrared (IR) system consists of three main components: the SmartControlTM
SC-3 transmitter (a), the receiving eyes (b), and the decoder module (c).
The receiving eyes are positioned on the top of the machine enclosed within
protective lenses. They receive, filter and amplify the infrared transmission. They
include:
■ An integrated pre-amp to strengthen signal input
■ IR correction, to filter outside light interference
■ A frequency range of 500 kHz
There is an amber LED (d) on the base (bottom) of the front and rear receiving
eyes. When illuminated, the amber LED indicates:
■ Electric power is being supplied to the eye. The LED illuminates for the first 1–2
seconds after power has been applied (key switch is turned on).
■ The eye is receiving a signal from the SmartControlTM SC-3 transmitter module.
The LED will remain on during operation.
The decoder module is positioned behind the hydraulic manifold at the back of the
machine. It receives, decodes, and outputs the signal from the transmitter module.
It is also the electric power supply for all hydraulic solenoids.
The IR system can be set to one of sixteen different control channels. Using
different channels allows multiple rollers to operate in the same area without
interference. Whenever multiple rollers are operated within 20 meters (65 feet) of
one another, make certain each roller and its accompanying transmitter is set to a
different control channel than the other rollers/transmitters being used within the
area.
Channel selection rotary switches (e and f) are included on both the transmitter
module and on the decoder module. The switches come from the factory set to the
last digit of the machine’s serial number. For proper operation, BOTH switches
must be set to the SAME channel. The channel of each transmitter/machine pair is
identified by a label on both on the transmitter and the machine.
To change the control channel:

1. Remove the transmitter module battery and rotate the selector switch to the
desired position. Re-install the transmitter module battery.
2. Set the rotary switch on the decoder module to the same position as that of the
rotary switch on the transmitter module.
3. To determine if the decoder module and the transmitter module are set to the
same channel, turn the key switch to the ON position and set the transmitter
module’s ON/OFF switch to the ON position. The amber lights on the machine’s
light ring should blink at a slow rate indicating that the machine is receiving
signals from the transmitter module. If the amber lights illuminate but do not
blink, the transmitter module and the decoder module are not set to the same
channel.
4. Change the channel identification label to match the selected channel each time
the channel is changed. Channel identification labels are supplied with the
Operator’s Manual.

4.14 Function of the Compatec Compaction System (if equipped)
Function The function of the Compatec compaction system is to indicate:
■ Compaction progress,
■ When the machine has achieved the maximum soil density it can achieve,
■ If the machine is operating on too hard of a substrate and runs the risk of
being damaged.
The Compatec compaction system is suitable for all mixed (well-graded) soils.
Note: The Compatec compaction system only serves to assist in soil compaction
and does not replace professional measurement of soil density.
System
components Component Function
Sensor The sensor is mounted on the front drum support. It signals to the
processing module the level of soil compaction.
Processing The processing module is mounted under the rear hood. It receives
module signals from the sensor. It processes the signals and communicates
with the LED display unit.
LED display unit The LED display unit (a) is mounted on the hood. The LED display
unit consists of eight LEDs (b). The LEDs illuminate to communicate
the information received from the processing module.
a b
wc_gr013041
LED The number of LEDs illuminated is proportional to the density of the soil, the more
Operation illuminated LEDs, the greater the density of the soil.
When the number of illuminated LEDs stops increasing, no more compaction is
obtainable. The maximum number of illuminated LEDs will vary greatly depending
on the type of soil being compacted. For example, a soft clay material may only
reach a maximum of 3 lit LEDs.
This procedure continues on the next page.
52
RT / RTx Operation
Continued from the previous page.
When all LEDs flash rapidly, there is a hazard of over compaction or the machine is
on a substrate that is too hard.
Note: Non-compactible material or flaws in the substrate are detectable by the
system if they are more than 1 meter in length. With sudden changes from high to
low compacted soil (or vice versa), there is a slow rise or fall in the LEDs.
NOTICE: The Compatec compaction system automatically switches off as soon as
the starting key is set to the OFF position. However, if the starting key remains in
the ON position when the engine is not running, the LED display will draw current
from the battery.
Testing Test the Compatec compaction system upon machine start up.
1. Rotate the starting key clockwise to the ON (I) position.
2. Observe the LED display. During the first few seconds after turning the starting
key to the ON (I) position, the eight LEDs illuminate from left to right.

range may decrease.
If the machine moves out of range, the amber lights on the machine will stop
blinking and come on continuously. The machine will immediately stop moving, and
vibration will stop. The operator must then move closer to the machine to re-
establish contact. If contact is not made within 30 seconds, the engine will shut off.

4.17 Operating Characteristics
WARNING
Personal injury or equipment damage hazards. The roller's sensing system will not
stop the roller from moving when the transmitter is in the storage compartment or
on the side of the roller.
► When operating from the side of the machine, always maintain a distance of at
least 2m (6.6 ft.) from the machine.
► Never operate the machine with the transmitter in the storage compartment.
■ In some instances, objects passing between the machine and transmitter (such
as support beams) will block the signal. When this occurs, the machine will stop
moving. If the signal is not re-established within 30 seconds, the engine will shut
down.
■ In an enclosed area (such as a shop floor or warehouse) or an area surrounded
by large structures, the infra-red signal may reflect off surrounding surfaces,
causing it to be picked up by the machine even when the transmitter is pointed
away from the machine. This condition is more pronounced at shorter distances
when the signal strength is strong.
■ As the distance between the transmitter and machine increases, the intensity of
the signal diminishes.
4.18 Communication Faults

Description The decoder has built-in diagnostics that continuously check for a faulty signal
transmitted from the receiving eyes to the decoder. If a faulty signal is detected, the
decoder stops machine movement and the light rings illuminate solid amber.
Fault Communication faults may occur when a receiving eye is damaged. The faults vary
correction in frequency and duration. When a normal signal is restored, the light rings slowly
flash amber and machine movement is restored.
If communication faults occur regularly, check the condition of the receiving eyes.
Replace damaged components as needed.

4.19 Machine Stability
WARNING
Crushing hazards. Certain job site conditions or operating practices may adversely
affect machine stability.
► Follow the instructions below to reduce the risk of tipping or falling incidents.
Surface Pay attention to changing surface conditions while operating the machine. Adjust speed
conditions and travel direction as necessary to maintain safe operation.
■ Machine stability and traction may be severely reduced when operating on
uneven or rough terrain, rocky soils, or wet or loosely packed surface material.
■ The machine may suddenly tip, sink, or fall when moved onto surfaces that have
been newly filled with earth.
Steering angle An articulated roller is more likely to tip when moving off an elevated surface if the
machine is turned away from the edge.
► As shown in the illustration on the right, always turn the machine toward the
edge when moving off an elevated surface.
Travel speed A fast moving machine is more likely to tip or fall over while making turns or changing
direction.
► Reduce travel speed before turning the machine.
Drum The machine can tip suddenly if more than half of the drum width extends beyond the
overhang edge of the elevated surface.
► Reduce travel speed and watch the drum position carefully when operating
along the edge of an elevated surface.
► Keep as much of the drum on the elevated surface as possible.
Vibrating on a Activating the vibratory system on a fully compacted surface may cause the drums to
compacted rebound and momentarily lose contact with the ground. If this occurs while the machine
surface is on an incline, the machine may slide.
► If the drums rebound on the compacted surface, reduce vibration speed or stop
vibration entirely.

Operation RT / RTx
4.20 Operating on Slopes
Background When operating on slopes or hills, special care must be taken to reduce the risk of
personal injury or damage to the machine.
Procedure Always operate the machine up and down slopes rather than from side to side. The
machine is equipped with safety switches which will shut down the engine should
the side-to-side operating angle exceed 45°. Forward/backward tilt is not limited by
the safety switches. For safe operation and for protection of the engine, continuous
duty use should be restricted to slopes of 14° (25% grade) or less.
WARNING
Crushing hazard. Never operate the machine sideways on slopes. The machine
may tip or roll over even on stable ground.
► Operate the machine straight up and down slopes.
14°
25%
wc_gr012174
4.21 Rollovers
Proper operation of the machine on slopes will prevent rollovers. Read and follow
safety instructions in the topic Operating on Slopes. If a machine rollover does
occur, care must be taken to prevent damage to the engine. If the machine has
rolled over, oil from the engine crankcase can flow into the combustion chamber,
which can severely damage the engine the next time it is started. If the machine
has rolled on its side, immediate steps should be taken to position the machine
upright.
NOTICE: To prevent damage to the engine after a rollover, the machine must NOT
be started, AND must be serviced to remove any oil that may have been trapped in
the combustion chambers. Contact your local Wacker Neuson dealer for
instructions or servicing.
A rollover is indicated by the tip-over light which flashes when in the “FLASH LED”
mode or stays on solid when in the “LOCK OUT START” mode. See section
Programing the ECM Tip-Over Mode.

RT / RTx Operation
3. Turn on the SmartControl™ SC-3 transmitter by pressing the red ON/OFF
pushbutton (g). Make sure the amber indicator lights in the light rings (c) are
flashing at a slow rate. This indicates infrared reception and that the transmitter
is at the correct distance from the machine. If they are not flashing, it indicates
that either the transmitter is not on or that the control channel of the transmitter
does not match the control channel of the machine. If they are flashing at a fast
rate (three times per second), it indicates that the transmitter (and operator) are
too close to the machine. Reposition the SmartControl™ SC-3 transmitter so
that the indicator lights flash at a slow and steady rate. If you are operating
multiple rollers, check to make certain each roller and its accompanying
transmitter are set to a different control channel.
4. After approximately 2 seconds, if engine conditions dictate (coolant temperature
too cool), the glow plug indicator (h) will illuminate and the light ring will flash
red, signifying that the glow plugs are on. The colder the engine coolant
temperature, the longer the glow plugs will stay on:
■ approximately 30 seconds at 0°C (32°F) for Kohler powered machines.
■ approximately 5 seconds at 0°C (32°F) for Kubota powered machines.
Note: The starter will not crank during the glow plug cycle.
5. Immediately after the glow plug light (h) and red light ring (c) go out, press the
engine start pushbutton (j) and hold it down until the engine starts. If the
machine fails to start within 15 seconds of cranking, release the engine start
pushbutton. Press the red ON/OFF pushbutton to turn the transmitter off. Wait
30 seconds, then turn the transmitter back on and repeat the starting procedure.
6. Once started and sufficient oil pressure is sensed, the oil pressure indicator will
go out.
7. Allow the unit to warm up a minimum of 5 minutes before engaging the throttle
switch (a) to the high (fast) position.
WARNING
Personal injury or equipment damage hazards. The roller's sensing system will not
stop the roller from moving when the transmitter is in the storage compartment or

■ As the operator changes positions in the work area, it is important that he or she
understands the changes that will occur in the control of the machine. If the
operator stands in front of the machine (m), it will respond in a direction opposite
in relation to the operator. That is, pushing forward causes the machine to move
toward the operator; pushing left results in the machine turning to the operator's
right. Operating the machine while standing in front of it is not recommended.
■ Operate the machine with the transmitter pointed at the receiving eyes on the
machine for continued operation. The light ring amber LEDs will blink to show
that the machine is receiving signals from the transmitter.
■ The infrared system is equipped with an operator distance sensing system. If
the operator is standing within 1–2 m (3–6 ft.) of the front or rear of the machine,
the amber light ring will flash rapidly, and the machine will not travel forward/
reverse or vibrate until the operator moves outside the 1–2 m (3–6 ft.) distance.
Once the operator is at the correct distance, the amber lights will flash slowly to
indicate the machine can be operated.
Note: The control cable is not needed for using the infrared system.

RT / RTx Operation
■ Multiple rollers are not to be operated within 20 meters (65 feet) of one another,
unless you are certain you have each roller and its accompanying transmitter
set to a different control channel than the other rollers/transmitters being used
within the area.Refer to section Infra-red System and Control Channels for
additional information. Failure to assign different control channels can, in certain
circumstances, cause one transmitter to inadvertently take control of more than
one machine.
■ Always use the SmartControl™ SC-3 transmitter neck strap provided by Wacker
Neuson while operating with the control cable connected. This neck strap is
designed to break away so that the operator will not be dragged by the machine
should the machine slide, tip, or fall.

(NiMH) cell rated at 2000 mAh and is capable of accepting hundreds of charging
cycles. If the machine fails to operate for the full operating period, even after the
battery has been fully discharged and recharged, the battery pack may need to be
replaced.
Charging characteristics:
■ Time to fully charge: 2 hours
■ Full-charge operating time: 16 hours*
■ Operating time after 1 hour charge: 8 hours*
■ At temperatures below 0°C, charging is not possible
* Operating time decreases at severely cold temperatures.
4.27 Replacing the Battery Pack

64
RT / RTx Operation
4.28 Charging the Transmitter Battery
Background The NiMH battery pack (b) in the transmitter has enough capacity to provide 16
hours of continuous operation. To maintain battery capacity, recharge it during non-
working hours by using the onboard docking port.
Note: There is no need to run the NiMH battery completely down before
recharging. The battery can be recharged from any state of discharge with no loss
in performance or life.
Procedure To charge the battery, perform one of the following procedures:

■ Plug the transmitter receptacle (a) into the charging port (b). Slide the
transmitter forward until the battery charge light comes on.
wc_gr012187
■ Plug one end of the control cable into the transmitter receptacle (a) and the
other end into the port (c) on the back of the machine.
Note ■ Using the second method requires the machine to be running or the keyswitch
to be in the “ON” position.
■ The Cable Control System will only charge the transmitter battery if the control
cable is connected to the transmitter receptacle (b) and plugged into the port (a)
in the back of the roller.
Charging time Approximately 2 hours is required to bring the transmitter battery up to full charge.
This is the most efficient way to use the battery. The transmitter will operate with a
partially charged battery; however, its operating time will be reduced accordingly.
Note: The charging circuit in the transmitter is self-regulating and limits the
charging current to the battery, so that the battery cannot be overcharged.

5.9 ECM Fault and Error Codes
Background Machine fault and error codes are viewable on the three LED displays of the ECM.
The tip over fault is always viewable after engine start. To view all other fault and
error codes, the diagnostic mode of the ECM must be entered and the diagnostic
tool must be connected.
Fault codes Each fault code consists of two sets of digits. The first set includes the letter “F” and
represents the type of fault. The second set represents the number of times the
fault has occurred or the time elapsed since the ECM has been cleared. Note: All
fault codes are displayed, even if there has not been a fault. The fault codes scroll
across the three LED displays automatically.
Fault code examples:
■ “F00-02” — the roller has tipped over two times since the codes were cleared.
■ “F06-0024” — the starter has been engaged 24 times since the codes were
cleared
■ “F07-120.0 H” — the roller has accumulated 120 hours since the codes were
cleared.
Error codes Each error code consists of one set of digits. Each includes the letter “E” and
represents the type of error. Note: Only codes for those errors that have occurred
are displayed. The error codes are displayed as fixed characters—they do not
scroll across the LED displays automatically.
Error code example:
■ “E07” — the oil pressure sensor is or has been unplugged.
Viewing Follow the procedure below to view the fault and error codes.
2. Enter the diagnostic mode of the ECM. See section Entering the ECM
Diagnostic Mode.
3. Use the buttons on the diagnostic tool to cycle through the codes. Pressing the
“A” button of the diagnostic tool advances through the codes. Pressing the “B”
button cycles through the codes in the opposite order.
4. The fault codes (F00 to F07) are displayed first followed by the error codes (E00

7.2 Hydraulic Oil Requirements

Wacker Neuson recommends the use of a good petroleum-based, anti-wear
hydraulic oil in the hydraulic system of this equipment. Good anti-wear hydraulic
oils contain special additives to reduce oxidation, prevent foaming, and provide for
good water separation.
When selecting hydraulic oil for your machine, be sure to specify anti-wear
properties. Most hydraulic oil suppliers will provide assistance in finding the correct
hydraulic oil for your machine.
Avoid mixing different brands and grades of hydraulic oils.
Most hydraulic oils are available in different viscosities.
The SAE number for an oil is used strictly to identify viscosity—it does not indicate
the type of oil (engine, hydraulic, gear, etc.).
When selecting a hydraulic oil be sure it matches the specified SAE viscosity rating
and is intended to be used as a hydraulic oil. See Technical Data—Lubrication.
84
RT / RTx General Maintenance

Emission Control Systems Information and Warranty—Diesel
12 Emission Control Systems Information and Warranty—Diesel
The Emission Control Warranty and associated information is valid only for the
U.S.A., its territories, and Canada.
12.1 Emission Control System Background Information

Introduction
Wacker Neuson engines/equipment must conform with applicable Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resource Board (CARB) emissions
regulations. These regulations require that manufacturers warrant the emission
control systems for defects in materials and workmanship.
Furthermore, EPA and CARB 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.
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
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.
112
12.2 Limited Defect Warranty for Wacker Neuson Emission Control
Systems
The Emission Control Warranty is valid only for the U.S.A., its territories, and
Canada.

Menomonee Falls, WI 53051, (hereinafter “Wacker Neuson”) warrants to the initial
retail purchaser and each subsequent owner, that this engine/equipment, including
all parts of its emission control system, have been designed, built, and equipped to
conform at the time of initial sale to all applicable evaporative emission regulations
of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and that the engine/equipment
is free of defects in materials and workmanship which would cause this engine/
equipment to fail to conform to EPA regulations during its warranty period.
Wacker Neuson is also liable for damages to other engine/equipment components
caused by a failure of any warranted parts during the warranty period.
What is covered
Wacker Neuson recommends the use of genuine Wacker Neuson parts, or the
equivalent, whenever maintenance is performed. The use of replacement parts not
equivalent to the original parts may impair the effectiveness of the engine/
equipment emission controls systems. If such a replacement part is used in the
repair or maintenance of the engine/equipment, assure yourself that such part is
warranted by its manufacturer to be equivalent to the parts offered by Wacker
Neuson in performance and durability. Furthermore, if such a replacement part is
used in the repair or maintenance of the engine/equipment, and an authorized
Wacker Neuson dealer/service center determines it is defective or causes a failure
of a warranted part, the claim for repair of the engine/equipment may be denied. If
the part in question is not related to the reason the engine/equipment requires
repair, the claim will not be denied.
For the components listed in the following table, an authorized Wacker Neuson
dealer/service center will, at no cost to you, make the necessary diagnosis, repair,
or replacement necessary to ensure that the engine/equipment complies with the
applicable EPA regulations. All defective parts replaced under this warranty
become property of Wacker Neuson.
What is not covered

■ Failures other than those resulting from defects in material or workmanship.
■ Any systems or parts which are affected or damaged by owner abuse,
tampering, neglect, improper maintenance, misuse, improper fueling, improper
storage, accident and/or collision; the incorporation of, or any use of, add-on or
modified parts, or unsuitable attachments, or the alteration of any part.
■ Replacement of expendable maintenance items made in connection with
required maintenance services after the item’s first scheduled replacement as
listed in the maintenance section of the engine/equipment operator’s manual,
such as spark plugs and filters.
113
■ Incidental or consequential damages such as loss of time or the use of the
engine/equipment, or any commercial loss due to the failure of the engine/
equipment.
■ Diagnosis and inspection charges that do not result in warranty-eligible service
being performed.
■ Any non-authorized replacement part, or malfunction of authorized parts due to
use of-non authorized parts.
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 wackerneuson.com to find a dealer/
