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 or take your unit
to an authorized Service Center.
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 Unit.
UNIT DOES NOT PROVIDE ELECTRICAL CURRENT:
1.
Plug in a small appliance or tool to test.
2.
Check if the AC (or DC) Circuit Breaker is in the “ON” position. If not, place in
“ON” position. If equipped with a GFCI receptacle, re-‐set GFCI Breaker by
pushing in the reset button in the middle of the GFCI’s faceplate (this must be
done with the engine running).
3.
If your unit still does NOT produce electricity after performing the previous
checks, call LIFAN Power USA at 1-‐866-‐471-‐7464, your dealer, or authorized
Service Center.
