Troubleshooting

The Poulan Pro PPG6000 Vacuum Cleaner has some known problems that occur often. Here are some easy to do solutions for the problems or error codes your Poulan Pro might be giving you.

Low Oil Level

The oil level in the engine is below the required minimum, which can hinder normal operation or cause damage. Check the engine oil level and fill it if necessary. Regularly monitor and maintain the oil level to ensure the engine operates smoothly.

Fuel Not Reaching Carburetor

There is an obstruction preventing fuel from reaching the carburetor, likely due to sediment buildup. Clean the fuel sediment cup to remove any blockages and ensure a clear path for fuel to reach the carburetor.

Fuel Valve in OFF Position

The fuel valve is turned off, preventing fuel from flowing to the engine. Move the fuel valve to the ON position to allow fuel to flow to the engine and enable operation.
