Which power source does the manual identify?
| Type | What to distinguish |
|---|---|
| Gasoline | The engine uses fuel. An electric starter is a separate part of starting it. |
| Battery | Use the information for the machine and its battery platform. |
| Corded | The machine plugs in to operate; that’s different from a plug used to start a gas engine. |
If you can’t tell, choose “Not sure yet” on the request form and share the identifying details you can obtain safely. Don’t apply gasoline-engine advice to a battery or corded machine.
Describe what didn’t happen
On a gas machine, say whether the starter made a noise, whether the engine began running and whether it then stopped. For other power types, use what you observed without borrowing an engine diagnosis.
The coverage filter checks which power types a provider lists. They still need to confirm that they accept your particular model and the work it needs.
