Take the following steps to restart the machine in case of one of the following:
a. Low on petrol
If the operator is so absorbed in his work that he fails to notice that the indicator is
showing that the petrol level is low, the machine could suddenly turn off. If this occurs,
simply fill it back up with petrol (read §9.4.3).
Let the starter engine run for a while after refuelling. Close the throttle (choke) - the
petrol will now be sucked into the line. The engine will start running as soon as the
carburettor has filled.
b. Lack of oil in the engine
Also read § 9.7.1 under point d.
c. Machine is on a slope
Whilst working on a slope in the lengthwise direction, the engine may suddenly stop. This
is caused by the oil alarm which works on the basis of level measurement; it detects a false
oil level when the machine is in a slanted position. This is enough reason for the system to
switch off the engine.
The solution is to wait a few moments before restarting the engine. The problem will
return if you continue to do work on an incline. After checking the oil level on an even
surface (read § 11.4.1.1.1), the oil safety system may be disengaged temporarily. Do not
forget to switch it back on after the work is finished.
Note: Neither ELIET, nor Subaru shall accept warranty claims based on a lack of oil in the
machine.
If slopes are a recurring factor in a particular area, adding 0.2 litres of extra oil to the tank
will resolve the problem.
d. Technical defect
If neither of the aforementioned checks identifies the cause, the problem could be more
technical in nature. A defect in the engine or a problem with the carburettor could be the
issue. For assistance with these problems, please visit your authorised ELIET dealer or an
authorised service centre for the engine brand.

Engine loses power
If you notice that the machine’s power reduces for a long period and performance
significantly reduces, you must investigate the cause. The following points could be a factor:
a.
Turbine and cutter
b.
Slipping belt transmission

Sparkplugs (Read § 11.4.1.7 Checking or replacing sparkplugs )
