11. TROUBLESHOOTING
When the engine will not start:
1. Is the engine switch in the ON position?
2. Is there fuel in the fuel tank (see page 26)?
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Do
not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area.
3. Is gasoline reaching the carburetor?
To check, press the priming pump several times (see page 34).
4. Is the spark plug in good condition?
Remove and inspect the spark plug. Clean, readjust gap and dry the spark plug.
Replace it if necessary (see page 49).
5. If the engine still does not start, take the hedge trimmer to your servicing dealer.
When an abnormal vibration occurs during operation, immediately turn off the
engine and check the cutter blade is properly installed and tightened securely,
and inspect it for wear, crack or any other damage (see page 31).
