Troubleshooting
IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START:
1. Check to ensure switches are in the “ON” position. (Both unit and engine)
2. Check engine oil level. Your unit possesses a Low Oil Alarm System that will not allow your
engine to start if the oil is below safe operating levels. This feature is installed to increase
the life of your engine and prevent engine damage. If oil level is low, fill to the full mark on
dipstick. Refer to the Product Specifications for exact oil type and amounts.
3. Check the fuel level to insure adequate fuel. Add fuel if necessary.
4. Remove and inspect the spark plug for cleanliness and proper electrode gap. If needed,
clean or replace the spark plug. Refer to Spark Plug Maintenance in the Maintenance
section of the Owner’s Manual for proper procedure.
