Troubleshooting guide
The trimmer
won’t start,
runs poorly.
• Make sure that the correct fuel is used. If necessary, empty
the tank and change the fuel. Use ready-mixed mixture of
environmental petrol and 2% oil.
• Check the spark plug and replace it if necessary.
• Make sure that the choke is in the correct position.
•
Cold start:
Begin with full choke and then reduce to no choke
(or half choke) when the engine has started.
•
Warm start:
No choke.
•
The engine might have been flooded by too many attempts
to start it. What to do:
1. Disconnect the spark plug lead from the spark plug.
2. Remove the spark plug and turn the engine over a few times
to help the fuel evaporate.
3. Wipe the spark plug dry with a clean cloth and refit it
(or replace it with a new one).
