Troubleshooting
IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START:
1.
Check to ensure switches are in the “ON” position.
2.
Check engine oil level. The unit possesses a Low Oil Shutdown feature that will
not allow your engine to start if the oil is below safe operating levels. This
feature is installed to increase the life of your engine and prevent engine
damage. If oil level is low, fill to the full mark on dipstick. Refer to the Pre-‐
Operating Instructions: Engine Oil Check section for exact oil type and amounts.
3.
Check the fuel level to insure adequate fuel. Add fuel if necessary.
4.
Remove and inspect the spark plug for cleanliness and proper electrode gap. If
needed, clean or replace the spark plug. Refer to Spark Plug Maintenance in the
Maintenance section of the Owner’s Manual for proper procedure.
5.
If the unit will still NOT start after performing the above checks, call our
customer hotline at LIFAN Power USA Toll Free 1-‐866-‐471-‐7464 or take the unit
to an authorized Service Center.
NOTE:
Periodically on the initial start-‐up or after the unit has been stored
for a long period of time, the float for your “Low Oil Shutdown” system will
stick to the bottom of the oil pan. Locate the two (2) wires to the Low Oil
Sensor Diode (figure “Low Oil Sensor Diode” to the right) located on the
side of the engine block. Unplug these wires and,
only after ensuring the
engine is full of oil,
start the engine and allow to run until warm (normally
20 minutes, as this will heat the oil and release the float on the Low Oil
Shutdown System). Then re-‐plug the wires to the terminals on the Low Oil
Shutdown Sending Unit.
IF THE WATER PUMP WILL NOT PUMP:
1.
Check if there is ample water in the pump chamber to fully prime the pump.
2.
Check if the filter is clogged on the suction hose.
3.
Check if the hose clamp is securely tightened.
4.
Check if the water hose is damaged.
5.
Check is suction height required for the application is too high. Refer to Product
Specifications section for unit maximum suction height.
6.
If the water pump still will not pump water, call our customer hotline at LIFAN
Power USA Toll Free 1-‐866-‐471-‐7464 or take the unit to an authorized Service
Center.
