Fault Finding Hints
Engine Will Not Start
1. Ensure that the Operator Presence Control is
gripped firmly to the upper handle.
2. Check that there is sufficient fuel of the correct
mix in the fuel tank and the fuel tap is open.
3. Check that the choke control lever (A2) is in the
correct position.
4. The engine may have flooded. Remove and dry
the spark plug.
5. Petrol may be stale, replace. Once petrol has
been replaced, it may take a little time for fresh
petrol to filter through.
6. Check that the blade bolt is tight. A loose blade
bolt could cause difficult starting.
7. If the engine will still not start - disconnect
the spark plug lead and consult your local
approved Service Centre/Dealer.
Poor Flotation or Lack of Power
1. Disconnect the spark plug lead.
2. Clean the underside of the hood, the air filter,
the fan, around the engine and the air intakes.
3. Check that the engine choke control lever (A2)
is in the normal position (Fig L).
4. Petrol may be stale, replace. Once petrol has
been replaced, it may take a little time for fresh
petrol to filter through.
5. If poor flotation or lack of power persists -
disconnect the spark plug lead and consult
your local approved Service Centre/Dealer.
Excessive Vibration
1. Disconnect the spark plug lead.
2. Check that the blade is correctly fitted. See '
Fitting and Removing the Blade and Fan'.
3. If the blade is damaged or worn replace it with
a new one.
4. If vibration persists - do not use -
disconnect the spark plug lead and consult
your local approved Service Centre/Dealer.
Service Recommendations
We strongly recommend that your
product is serviced at least every
twelve months, more often in a
professional application.
