The engine will not
start using Electric-
Start.
(Please refer to the
Engine Owner’s
Manual for engine-
specific procedures.)
⇒
Check all the items under the section called Electric-Starting on page 25.
⇒
Check the previous section (Manual Starting) for possible causes.
⇒
Check the wire connections—especially the ground connection, the large black
wire coming from the battery, where it connects to the engine.
⇒
Check the wire connections to the solenoid. Disconnect the black battery ground
wire first to avoid sparks. Check to be sure that all of the connections are clean
and tight. Reconnect the battery ground wire.
⇒
Check the ground connection on the solenoid where it is bolted to the frame.
Using a wrench or socket, tighten the bolts to ensure a good connection to the
frame.
⇒
The battery may not be charged. Check the voltage yourself or at a gas station. If
it is low, charge it with a 12-volt, 1 to 2 Amp trickle charger. If you do not use your
vacuum for at least 45 minutes at a time, the battery may need to be periodically
charged. See the Battery Care section on page 36.
⇒
If your battery is charged and your DR WALK-BEHIND LEAF & LAWN VACUUM
still will not start, call
1-800-DR-OWNER (376-9637) for assistance.
The engine lacks
power or is not
running smoothly.
(Please refer to the
Engine Owner’s
Manual for engine-
specific procedures.)
⇒
Check the Throttle. Is it set in the FAST position? See page 24.
⇒
The Air Filter may be 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 plug hole and pull the recoil cord several times to blow out any oil in
the cylinder, then wipe off the plug and reinsert it.
⇒
The gas may be old, change it. Use a fuel stabilizer if you keep gas longer than
one month.
⇒
The engine may not have the right amount of clean oil. If it is dirty, change it
following the procedure on page 35.
⇒
If your engine still lacks power, call 1-800-DR-OWNER (376-9637) for assistance.

Check the oil level and adjust as needed.

Check the air filter and clean or replace if needed.

You may be using the wrong oil—too light for the temperature. Refer to your

⇒
Clean the engine cooling fins and the carburetor housing if they are dirty.
⇒
If the engine still smokes, call 1-800-DR-OWNER (376-9637) for assistance.
