Troubleshooting

Running combustion engines in confined areas

CAN KILL IN MINUTES

. Engine exhaust

fumes contain carbon-monoxide – a deadly gas that you cannot smell or see. NEVER run a

combustion engine in confined areas EVEN IF windows and doors are open. ONLY run

combustion engines OUTDOORS and away from doors, windows and vents. •

Petrol/fuel/gasoline is extremely flammable – keep clear of naked flames or other ignition

sources. • The product is NOT supplied with engine oil, although traces of oil from the manufacturing process

may be present. It is essential to add adequate engine oil of the correct type to the engine before use – see

Engine Oil

Failure to add engine oil will void the product warranty

. • Do not have the engine running

during inspection and maintenance unless specifically required. • The engine should be cool enough to touch

before performing maintenance activities. • Some maintenance activities may be beyond the scope of some

users. Do NOT attempt procedures that you are not comfortable with, or do not have the necessary tools,

experience or knowledge for – take the unit to an authorised service centre or qualified technician for

servicing.

The following information may assist in identifying a problem and rectifying it.

Difficulty starting the engine.

Possible Fault

Action

Lack of fuel

Check that there is sufficient

fuel

in the tank and the fuel tap (if equipped) is in the "ON"

position. • To further check if fuel is reaching the carburettor, remove the carburettor drain

plug and check if fuel drains.

Engine "OFF"

Ensure the engine ON / OFF switch (if equipped) is in the "ON" position.

Carbon build-up on spark plug

Perform a

spark plug service

Spark plug faulty

Remove the spark plug, then reconnect the plug lead to it. Place the fuel tap (if equipped) in

the "OFF" position and the engine ON/OFF switch (if equipped) in the "ON" position. Touch

the spark plug electrode to a part of the engine crankcase, away from the spark plug hole,

and attempt to start the engine – a spark should be visible across the electrodes as the

engine is rotated. If no spark is visible, replace the spark plug. Not applicable to diesel

engines.

Engine "flooded" with fuel

Place the choke in the "HOT" or "RUN" position. Leave the engine ON / OFF switch (if

equipped) in the "OFF" position. Pull the starter cord several times to assist clearing excess

fuel from engine before attempting to start engine.

Not enough or too much engine oil

Check oil level and ensure that the level is at or just below the recommended maximum

level. For some engines, an engine oil sensor will automatically switch off the engine or

prevent starting if a low engine oil level is detected.

Engine starts but does not idle.

Possible Fault

Action

Blocked air filter

Perform an

air filter service

Idle speed requires adjustment

Adjust idle speed until engine runs smoothly and at a reasonable speed when idling.
