The Wacker Neuson Throttle Complete is a genuine OEM assembly designed for the DPU 7060 and DPU 7060RC reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this throttle assembly matches the exact specification of the original part — ensuring correct engine response and smooth speed control right out of the box. It fits both the standard DPU 7060 and the remote-controlled DPU 7060RC variants, making it the right choice for operators running either configuration on heavy-duty soil and aggregate compaction applications.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Throttle Calibration — Engineered to Wacker Neuson's original throttle travel and response specification, ensuring accurate engine speed control across the full operating range of the DPU 7060 series.
- Complete Assembly, Ready to Install — Supplied as a full Throttle Complete unit with all integrated components, so you're replacing the entire assembly rather than sourcing individual sub-parts separately.
- Confirmed Fitment for DPU 7060 Series — Verified for the DPU 7060 reversible vibratory plate (70 kN, 60 cm/24 in) and the DPU 7060RC remote-controlled variant.
- Restores Full Engine Speed Range — A worn or damaged throttle assembly can cause erratic engine speed, loss of compaction force, or inability to reach full operating RPM. This replacement brings the machine back to its rated performance.
- Diesel Compactor Duty Rating — Built to handle the demands of a heavy-duty reversible diesel plate compactor in continuous trench, subbase, and large-area compaction work.
The throttle assembly controls the fuel delivery rate to the engine, directly governing how much power the compactor produces at any given moment. On a reversible vibratory plate like the DPU 7060, precise throttle response is critical — it determines both compaction force output and the operator's ability to manage travel speed and direction safely. When the throttle assembly wears out or fails, symptoms typically include sluggish acceleration, unstable engine speed, or an engine that won't reach full RPM, all of which reduce compaction effectiveness and can put unnecessary strain on other engine components.
