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 (seen at 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 WATER IS LEAKING:

Ensure Outlet Hose is securely tightened.
•
Ensure Inlet Hose nut is securely tightened.
•
Call dealer for repair if pump housing is leaking.
