Troubleshooting
IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START:
1. Check to ensure switches are in the “ON” position. (Both unit and engine)
2. Check engine oil level. Your unit possesses a Low Oil Alarm System that will not allow your
engine to start if the oil is below safe operating levels. This feature is installed to increase
the life of your engine and prevent engine damage. If oil level is low, fill to the full mark on
dipstick. Refer to the Product Specifications for exact oil type and amounts.
3. Check the fuel level to insure adequate fuel. Add fuel if necessary.
4. Remove and inspect the spark plug for cleanliness and proper electrode gap. If needed,
clean or replace the spark plug. Refer to Spark Plug Maintenance in the Maintenance
section of the Owner’s Manual for proper procedure.
5. If your unit will still NOT start after performing the above checks, call our customer hotline
at LIFAN Power USA Toll Free 1-‐‐866-‐‐471-‐‐7464 OPTION 2.
NOTE: Periodically on the initial start-‐‐up or after the unit has been stored for a long
period of time, the float for the “Low Oil Alarm System” will stick to the bottom of
your oil pan. Locate the two (2) wires to the Low Oil Sensor Diode (refer to figure on
the right) located on the side of the engine block. Unplug these wires and,
only
after ensuring the engine is full of oil, start the engine and allow to run until warm
(normally 20 minutes, as this will heat the oil and release the float on the Low Oil
Alert System). Then re-‐‐ plug the wires to the terminals on the Low Oil Alarm Sending
