Troubleshooting
IF YOUR ENGINE WILL NOT START:
1.
Check to ensure switches are in the “ON” position. (Both unit and engine)
2.
Check engine oil level. Your 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 Product
Specifications 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 your 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 your 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 the “Low Oil Shutdown” system will
stick to the bottom of your 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.
UNIT DOES NOT PROVIDE ELECTRICAL CURRENT:
1.
Plug in a small appliance or tool to test.
2.
Check if the AC Circuit Breaker is in the “ON” position. If not, place in “ON”
position. If equipped with a GFCI receptacle, re-‐set GFCI Breaker by pushing in
the reset button in the middle of the GFCI’s face plate (this must be done with
the engine running).
3.
On units equipped with a 120-‐120/240 Volt current selector switch, ensure the
switch is in the proper position. For 120 Volt only operation, place the switch to
the side marked with the 120V designation. For 240 Volt operation ensure the
switch is in the 120/240 Volt location. If the Voltage Selector Switch is placed in
the middle position, it will NOT provide electrical output.
