Typically this is resulting from improper driver storage or over-lling the oil causing the oil to seep into the combustion
chamber.
Position the driver vertically, remove the dipstick to check oil level. (See page 6) If you need to remove some oil, dispose
of it properly.
If oil is at proper level, follow the procedure listed in “Pull-start is frozen or hard to pull.” It also is good practice to wipe
clean the engine after use.
Pull-start is
frozen or hard to
pull
This typically results from oil seeping into the combustion chamber from improper driver storage or overlling the oil
reservoir of the engine.
Remove spark plug and pull hand grip a several times until it pulls freely.
Replace the spark plug. Check the oil level in oil reservoir to ensure proper level (page 6). Follow starting procedure. It is
not unusual, for blue smoke to be emitted from the engine, let the engine run until smoke clears.
Proper Storage: When storing your Ranch Pro™ do not lay it horizontally on the driver side or resting on the engine.
If the unit cannot be stored securely in the upright position, place the chuck on the at surface, lean it toward the engine
side until it is supported by the shroud and chuck. This will position the driver on an angle with the top handle at the
topmost point.
