Troubleshooting
⚠
WARNING

Turn OFF the machine, allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop, and disconnect the
spark plug wire before moving the machine, emptying the bag, unclogging the inlets or outlets,
filling the gas tank, or performing maintenance and repairs.

While normal care and regular maintenance will extend the life of your equipment, prolonged or
constant use may eventually require that service be performed to allow it to continue operating
properly.

To avoid serious injury, perform maintenance on the unit only when the engine is stopped.

Always disconnect the spark plug wire and fasten it away from the plug before beginning the
maintenance, to prevent accidental starting of the engine.
