The motor does not
start.
The motor starts but it
is not accelerating.
The motor starts, but it
only runs at high
speed with the choke
at half position.
The motor is not
gaining full speed and
has too much smoke
emissions.
The motor starts,
works but it has no
idle speed.
• There is no spark.
• There is no fuel.
• The motor is choked.
•The starter jack is
pulling with more
difficulty than when new.
• The motor needs a
few minutes to warm
up.
• Carburetor needs
adjustment.
• Check the oil / fuel
mix.
• The air filter is dirty.
• The anti spark guard
screen is dirty.
• The idle screw in the
carburetor needs to be
adjustment.
• Check the spark. Remove the motor cover. Remove the spark plug from
the cylinder. Connect the spark plug cable and set it on top of the motor
cylinder with its metal part touching the cylinder. Pull the starter and watch
the spark in the spark plug electrode. If there is no spark, repeat the test
with a new spark plug.
• Press the primer bulb until the fuel is visible in the primer bulb. If no fuel
is showing it means that the fuel supply primary system is blocked. Contact a
Authorized Service Center. If the primer bulb fills with
fuel, it means the motor is choked.
• With the switch off, remove the spark plug. Move the choke lever
upwards and pull the starter handle 15 to 20 times to eliminate the fuel
excess in the motor. Clean the spark plug and reinstall. Follow the normal
starting procedure (consult page 8). If the motor does not start, move the
choke lever downwards and repeat the starting procedure. If the motor is
still not running, repeat the procedure but this time using a new spark
plug.
• Take the tool to a Authorized Service Center.
• Allow the motor to warm up completely. If the motor is not accelerating
after three minutes contact your Authorized Service
Center.
• Take the tool to a Authorized Service Center.
• Use new fuel and the right oil mix for two-cycle.
• Clean the air filter. See page 10.
• Clean the anti spark guard screen. See page 10.
• Turn the idle screw clockwise to increase speed.

Tool storage
If storing the tool a month or more, be aware of the following:
• Drain all the contents in the fuel tank into an approved gasoline container. All the remaining fuel should be used again in
other equipment with a two-cycle motor with a ratio of 40:1.
• Run the motor until the rest of the fuel is consumed and the motor shuts off by itself. This way you eliminate the fuel
residues and will avoid gum forming and damaging the fuel system.
• Clean thoroughly.
• Store the tool in a ventilated space, away from corrosive agents like garden chemical substances or deicing salts. Also away
from children.
• Comply with all the government rules regarding safety in handling and storing fuel.
