The Wacker Neuson Key is a genuine OEM component designed for the HP252, BFS 1318AS Self-propelled Walk-behind Saw, and Pureheat Hydronic Heater series. As a direct factory replacement, this key ensures proper machine startup and ignition system engagement across all compatible models. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part number is built to the same specification as the original, so you can install it with confidence and get your equipment back to work without guesswork.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to exact Wacker Neuson tolerances, ensuring the correct key profile and material hardness for reliable engagement with the ignition switch cylinder.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original key cut and form factor, fitting the ignition switch of compatible machines without any modification to the switch or housing.
- Broad Fitment Coverage — Compatible across the HP252, BFS 1318AS Walk-behind Saw, and both the Oil Burner and Gas Burner variants of the Pureheat Hydronic Heater series.
- Maintains Proper Ignition Control — A worn, lost, or damaged key can prevent startup or compromise ignition switch operation; replacing with the correct OEM key restores full control function.
- Operator Safety Compliance — A correctly fitted key ensures the ignition switch operates as intended, supporting proper machine lockout and preventing unintended startup on equipment where operator control is critical.
The ignition key on equipment like the BFS 1318AS walk-behind floor saw and Pureheat Hydronic Heater serves as the primary operator control for starting and stopping the machine. It engages the ignition switch cylinder to complete or interrupt the electrical circuit that powers the engine or burner system. A worn, lost, or poorly fitting key can cause intermittent starting issues, prevent the machine from shutting down correctly, or leave the ignition switch vulnerable to damage — all of which can result in costly delays on the job.
