Troubleshooting
Engine won't start
Check the fuel level, ensure the choke is correctly set, and check the spark plug.
Poor suction
Check for blockages in the hose or impeller housing. Empty the collection bag.
Engine stalls during operation
Check the fuel filter for blockages, ensure the engine has sufficient oil, and avoid operating on inclines.

Inspect the impeller blades for damage or wear. Reduce the amount of material being vacuumed at once.
