Drive Belt burns.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

⇒Check the Throttle travel. Is the Throttle Lever in the Run position?

⇒Is the Choke Lever pushed all the way to the left (RUN)?

⇒Is the air filter clean? If it’s dirty, change it following the procedure in the Engine Owner’s Manual.

⇒Is the spark plug clean? If it’s fouled or cracked, change it. If it’s oily, leave it out, hold a rag over the spark plug hole and pull the recoil cord several times to blow out any oil in the cylinder, then wipe off the spark plug and reinsert it.

⇒Are you using fresh, clean unleaded gas? If it is old, change it. Use a fuel stabilizer if you keep gas longer than one month.

⇒Does your engine have the right amount of clean oil? If it is dirty, change it following the procedure on page 27.

⇒If your engine still lacks power, call 1(800) DR-OWNER(376-9637)for assistance.

⇒Check the oil level and adjust as needed.

⇒You may be operating the machine on too great an incline. The machine should be level.

⇒Check the air filter and clean or replace if needed.

⇒You may be using the wrong oil - too light for the temperature. Refer to your Engine Owner’s Manual for detailed information.

⇒Clean the engine cooling fins and the carburetor housing if they are dirty.

⇒If the engine still smokes, call 1(800) DR-OWNER(376-9637)for assistance.

⇒The Flywheel may be jammed. Immediately stop the engine. Remove any built-up debris from the Chipper Hopper Inlet and Discharge Chute.

⇒Check the Drive Pulley alignment and adjust if necessary.

⇒Check the Drive Belt tension. See page 28.

⇒Replace the Drive Belt or reinstall if the belt has come off the pulleys.

⇒Turn the flywheel with a wooden stick to be sure it turns freely. If the Flywheel still will not turn, call 1(800) DR-OWNER(376-9637)for assistance.

⇒The Chipper is being overloaded; process material at a slower rate.

⇒The Flywheel is jammed. See the Symptom above.
