August 2014 | Construction Equipment Distribution | www.cedmag.com | 61 New & Improved Wacker Neuson Offers Honda Powered Rammers Wacker Neuson has expanded its vibratory rammer line to include two models powered by a 4-cycle Honda engine. The BS 50-4As and BS 60-4As are equipped with a 3.2-hp GX 100 Honda engine. The new BS 50-4As and BS 60-4As offer a unique low oil shutoff technology that protects the engine. When starting the unit, a sensor will detect if machine has no oil or low oil and does not allow the engine to start. Additionally, starting the engine is easy due to a purge bulb that evacuates air from the fuel line. A compensated carburetor maintains optimum air-fuel ratio for up to three times longer air filter change intervals. The new Honda-powered models join the Wacker Neuson powered 4-cycle rammers as well as the 2-cycle, oil injection models. Also available are the premix 2-cycle and diesel model. All Wacker Neuson hammers now include a four-stage air filtration system. This system includes a main element with 20 percent more capacity than the previous design and still uses the rammer's motion to self-clean, an improved cyclonic pre-filter designed for more efficient dirt removal and a fourth stage "last chance" filter that prevents dust ingestion during filter changes. According to the company, the new filtration system will provide for a virtually dust free engine for longer life and improved durability.
