  If the EINHELL Lawn and Garden Equipment motor doesn't start, there are several potential causes. First, check the line and fuse to ensure there is electricity in the plug. If the cable is defective, it should be checked. If the switch or switch/plug block is defective, or if the connections to the motor or capacitor are disconnected, have the machine checked by a customer service center. Lastly, if the housing is clogged, adjust the working depth if necessary and clean the housing so that the roller can run freely.

  If the engine performance of your EINHELL Lawn and Garden Equipment drops, it could be due to several reasons. The soil might be too firm, in which case you should change the working depth. Another cause could be a clogged housing, so make sure to clean it. Finally, if the roller is badly worn, consider replacing it.
