If your Kingfisher FPLM1000-4 lawnmower won't start after making a popping sound, follow these troubleshooting steps:
1. Check Power Supply: - Ensure the product is connected to a working power supply (Problem 1.1). - Try connecting it to a different power source in case the original one is faulty (Problem 2.2).
2. Inspect Power Cord and Plug: - A popping sound may suggest an electrical issue. Check the power cord and plug for damage (Problem 1.2). Have a specialist electrician inspect them if necessary.
3. Check for Electrical Defects in the Product: - If the cord and plug are fine, the popping sound may indicate an internal fault. Have a specialist electrician inspect the product (Problem 1.3).
4. Correct Start Procedure: - Ensure the lock-off button is pressed before squeezing the start lever (Problem 1.4). Follow the correct starting steps: - Press and hold the lock-off button. - Squeeze the start lever toward the handle.
If the issue persists after these steps, further inspection by a qualified specialist is required.
