TROUBLE SHOOTING
Failures such as a difficulty in starting the engine, irregularity in functions and abnormality in performance can
normally be prevented if careful attention is paid to all operating instructions & maintenance procedures.
FAILURE TO START
Correctly follow the starting procedure, not setting the choke or priming the engine can cause it not to start.
Ensure that fuel is fresh and clean. Dispose of fuel from the tank, particularly if over 30 days old.
Install a new, properly gapped spark plug.
When there is serious trouble with the unit, have your approved service dealer inspect it for you.
