b. Lack of oil in the engine

 

Also read § 9.7.1 under point d.

c. Machine is on a slope

 

Whilst working on a slope in the lengthwise direction, the engine may suddenly stop. This 

is caused by the oil alarm which works on the basis of level measurement; it detects a false 

oil level when the machine is in a slanted position. This is enough reason for the system to 
switch off the engine. 
The solution is to wait a few moments before restarting the engine. The problem will 
return if you continue to do work on an incline. After checking the oil level on an even sur-

face (read § 11.4.1.1.1), the oil safety system may be disengaged temporarily. Do not forget 

to switch it back on after the work is finished.  
Note: Neither ELIET, nor B&S Vanguard shall accept warranty claims based on a lack of oil 
in the machine. 
If slopes are a recurring factor in a particular area, adding 0.2 litres of extra oil to the tank 
will resolve the problem.

d. Technical defect

 

If neither of the aforementioned checks identifies the cause, the problem could be more 
technical in nature. A defect in the engine or a problem with the carburettor could be the 
issue. For assistance with these problems, please visit your authorised ELIET dealer or an 
authorised service centre for the engine brand.

9.7.3 

Engine loses power

If you notice that the machine’s power reduces for a long period and performance signifi-
cantly reduces, you must investigate the cause. The following points could be a factor:

a. 

Turbine and cutter

b. 

Slipping belt transmission

c. 

Sparkplugs (Read § 11.4.1.7 Checking or replacing sparkplugs )

d. Overheating
e. 

Problem with fuel supply

f. 

Ineffective combustion

g. 

Condensation in fuel tank

Run through the above points one by one until you discover the cause of the reduced perfor-
mance.
