 PROBLEM 

SOLUTION

Engine will not start. 

•  Check that the blade control knob is in the DOWN, 

disengaged position.

 

•  Make sure the spark plug wire is attached.

 

•  If the engine is cold, make sure the throttle is in the 

CHOKE position. 

 

•  The gas must be fresh and clean. If the gas is old, change it. 

Use a fuel stabilizer if you keep gas longer than one month.

 

•  Check the throttle adjustment and travel. 

 

•  The spark plug may be dirty or cracked, change it.

 

•   If the spark plug is oily, hold a rag over the plug hole and 

crank the engine over a couple of times to blow out any oil in 

the cylinder, then wipe off the plug and replace.

 

•   The air filter may be dirty, change it following the procedure 

in the engine owner’s manual.

 

•  Check two fuses in the wiring harness and replace if needed.

 

•  Check the ground wire connection, the large green wire 

coming from the battery, where it connects to the engine.

 

•  The battery may not be charged. Check the voltage. If it is 

low, charge with a 12-volt, 1 to 2-amp trickle charger. If you 

do not use your machine for at least 45 minutes at a time, the 

battery may need to be periodically charged. See the “Battery 

Care” section for instructions.

 

•      If the engine still will not start, visit our web site at www.

dirtyhandtools.com or call 1-877-487-8275 for assistance.

Engine lacks power or isn’t running smooth.

 

•       Check that the throttle is in the RUN position (when the 

engine is warm), not in the choke position.

 • 

      Check that the air filter is clean. If it is dirty, change it 

following the procedure in the engine Owner’s Manual.

 • 

      The spark plug may be dirty or cracked, change it. If it’s oily, 

leave it out, hold a rag over the spark plug hole and  turn the 

engine over by turning ignition key on to blow out any oil in 

the cylinder, then wipe off the spark plug and reinsert it.

 • 

      You should be using fresh, clean, unleaded gas. If it is old, 

change it. Use a fuel stabilizer if you keep gas longer than 

one month.

 • 

      Check that the engine has the right amount of clean oil. If it 

is dirty, change it following the procedure on page 18.
