My Engine Doesn't Start

Here are some initial areas to investigate if the engine will not start:

• Is there enough fresh gasoline?
  Remember...your unit uses UNLEADED fuel only.
• Is the fuel valve on?
  Be sure to turn it all the way on.
• Is the ignition switch in the "on" position?
• Is there enough oil in the engine?
  Is it filled to the "FULL" mark on the dipstick?
• Is the low oil shutdown switch activated?
  Air can get trapped in the switch during oil filling, rocking the equipment from side to side corrects this situation
