8. TROUBLESHOOTING
INDEX OF PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
8.1 ENGINE
When troubles occur, be sure to check the simple causes which at first, may seem too obvious to be considered. For
example, a starting problem could be caused by fuel starvation due to an empty propane cylinder or an unopened
service valve. If you do not check for this, starter burnout could result.
Some Troubles and solutions:
Surging idle
To smooth out the engines' idle characteristics, adjustment is provided by an idle screw on the lower left side of the
carburetor as viewed from the operator's position. The screw is bright steel and 1/4" in diameter with a Phillips head on
it. Rotating the screw clockwise will increase the idle speed and this should cure the "surging idle". If it does not, call our
customer service.
Engine starts and idles, but will quit as the throttle is advanced
It is possible that the propane tank's service valve is faulty. To check for this, close the valve completely and then
reopen very slowly while you listen for a "click" when the gas begins to travel through the valve. If you hear this very
slight noise, the valve is only partially opening. This allows enough gas through to start and idle the engine, but not
enough for full throttle operation. As the throttle is increased, allowing more air to enter the intake, the engine will quit
from fuel starvation. Call your dealer or the factory for instructions on where to have the service valve replaced.
Meanwhile, to get by, you can continue to open the service valve until you do not hear a “click" and then the engine will
run normally. If it does not, call your customer service.
Starter barely turns the engine over or the solenoid just clicks
The battery is likely low in charge. This can be remedied by recharging the battery using a 12 Volt battery charger at
4.12 amperes. The battery is under the control box. The positive post is the one with the RED cable attached to it.
Follow the instructions that came with the battery charger. REMINDER: this will continue to happen unless your engine
is run for sufficient time between starts to recharge the battery.
8.2 CHECKING AND CHANGING OIL
To check the engine oil level, screw the dipstick in to get a reading. While changing engine oil, check for leakage of
engine oil at the various seals. The hour meter will blink between 48-52 hours as a reminder.
Recommended Oil Change Intervals
Do not exceed the 50-hour oil change interval. Oil changes more frequent than 25 hours will give even longer engine
life. In any case, always use 30HD or 10W30 engine oil with all of the following ratings: SF, SG, and CC. make sure the
oil level is maintained at the "FULL" level.
8.3 SEPARATING THE HEAD FROM THE CARRIAGE
Please note that the propane cylinder has to be removed (Fig. 8.3.1) and stored outside before any maintenance or
preparation is done.
