Troubleshooting
IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START:
1.
Check to ensure switches are in the “ON” position.
2.
Check engine oil level. The unit possesses a Low Oil Shutdown feature 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 Pre-‐‐ Operating Instructions: Engine Oil Check section 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 the 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 the 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 your “Low Oil Shutdown” system will stick to the bottom of the oil pan.
Locate the two (2) wires to the Low Oil Sensor Diode (figure “Low Oil Sensor Diode” to 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 Shutdown System).
Then re-‐‐plug the wires to the terminals on the Low Oil Shutdown Sending Unit.
