C Series Garden Tractor - Engine Checklist

STARTING AND RUNNING CHECK LIST

Before you start:

Check that the engine is filled with the correct oil

(SAE 30) and to the recommended mark – never over-fill (fig 37).

Fill your Petrol tank with fresh unleaded premium petrol. If it is more than 1/3rd full of old stale petrol that has been in the tank 8 weeks or more – drain and then refill. If less than 1/3rd full of old untreated fuel, completely fill with new premium unleaded petrol. We recommend the use of Countax Petrol Additive – it will keep petrol stored in the tank in good order and it lubricates and protects jets and valves.

Ensure the throttle is advanced to ‘FAST’, and if the engine is cold that the choke is engaged.

Ensure that the Park Brake is ‘ON’ and that the Brake/Clutch pedal is full depressed.

INSERT THE KEY AND TURN CLOCKWISE

If the dashboard ignition lights fail to come on – check:

That the battery terminals are connected (see page 18).

That the 15amp fuse is properly located and has not blown (see page 19).

That the battery is charged.

If the engine fails to turn over – check:

That the brake is depressed or Parking Brake is on:

If the engine turns over and does not start – check:

That the fuel tank is full and the Petrol Tap is turned ON (page 16).

That the Spark Plug lead is connected.

That the outlet in the fuel tank is not blocked.

That the Spark Plug is clean and set to the correct gap (page 18).

That the fuel filter is not blocked (see page 16).

If the above do not apply – call your dealer.

If the engine misfires, loses power or stalls in use – check:

That you have not run out of fuel.

That the air filter pre-cleaner is not blocked (page 17).

That the cooling air intakes are not blocked.

That the fuel filter is not blocked.

If the ignition lights have gone off – check the 15amp fuse.

Notes:

Please Note: - IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT

If there is evidence that the engine is overheating or if you find the oil consumption to be high - call your dealer without fail! Countax suggest that ALL service work to your tractor and engine be carried out by your dealer.
