Troubleshooting

Engine fails to start

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before operation, check the engine oil level and fill the tank with fresh unleaded petrol. Ensure the air filter is clear of debris to maintain engine performance. To use the rubber mat for delicate surfaces, simply hook it over the front of the steel plate before starting. After use, allow the engine to cool completely before cleaning mud or stone debris from the base plate. Store in a dry, ventilated area, and if the machine will be idle for more than a month, drain the fuel tank to prevent carburetor clogging.
