SERVICE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

SERVICE INFORMATION

At Ardisam, we build quality and durability into the design of our 

products.  Nevertheless, no amount of careful design by us, or thorough 

maintenance by you, can guarantee a repair-free life for your engine.  

Most repairs will be minor and easily fixed by following the suggestions 

in the troubleshooting guide of this section. 
This section will help you pinpoint the causes of common problems and 

identify remedies.  
For more complicated repairs you may want to rely on your retailer, an 

authorized mechanic or Ardisam, Inc. (contact your retailer for a list of 

authorized mechanics in your area).  A parts catalog is included in this 

section.  We will always be glad to answer any questions you encounter 

or find suitable assistance to meet your needs. To order parts or inquire
