Why would this machine just stop when I try to engage the blowers. it just quits when I try and use it. Will sheer pins cause this to jus stop?

Sheer pins shouldn't be a problem. When a sheer pin breaks the auger stops.

We have only used ours a couple times. I found that if you put it on auto and leave it, the blower will turn on once it heats up. It will turn on and off, though I'm not entirely sure what makes it do so...I guess it has to do with how hot the unit is getting.

I wish I could help you. I was happy at first bit since it hasn't worked properly.. It keeps going red like there is something bad in air but it won't stop. I have gone to several shops to help but no one knows how to fix it. I have since been looking for a new one.

Barbara,Most local power equipment shops (think commerical and residential mowers, string trimmers, large snow throwers) have service departments that will repair any issues should you have a problem with this blower. I owned two of the models before the BBX7600N and they served me well besides a faulty insulator gasket issue that Makita seems to have cleared up by reinforcing them on the newer models. Keep your gas clean, change your oil as suggested and you shouldn't have any issues with this blower.

I've had the same one for three years and it always starts on the 2nd pull. I don't know how maintenance savvy you are so I'll just cover a few areas which you might look at. 1. The choke, is it left on? 2. Your air filter. Clogged, damp, any obstructions? 3. Spark plug, clean it, check the gapping or just replace it. Hope one of these solves your problem because this is one of the most dependable power washer I've owned. It gets used a lot in the summer!

I had trouble with mine my husband figured out the fan went out on it. Maybe it has a faulty fan I have been reading where they quit blowing mist and that's what mine did.

What you are describing does not happen with my blow dryer.I suggest you get a hold of where you purchased the dryer from and discuss with them.

Anthony, my toro 51480 is doing the same thing. I have had it for a couple of years. It is not the cord as it works with other equipment. It seems to me that it is overheating, or something. i tried it this morning and it worked for about 1 minute and a half, then nothing. i am looking at another brand.....

Probably sucked up something in the roller. When this happens to mine I stop it and restart, usually all is well. Hope this helps

I am sorry that I cannot help you on this one. We have used ours about every day for 9 months without a hitch. It sounds like the drive gear has come unhitched from the motor. Did you ever try to run it while something was jamming the cutter/blender? Sorry I cannot help more.

I did not have this experience. I would contact seller or promptly arrange for a return. Good luck. Sorry you are having trouble. It is an awesome machine!

Couple of possibilities. 1)check for computer codes. I there I was code that has been computer error attached (I think it is 601) then there Is a fault In computer and the ECM has to be replaced. 2) the heater has its own separate computer an could be sending the wrong signal to the blower or 3) and most likely the resistor has faulted an you have to change the resistor block. This Is cheapest an most likely. Mine has part not col temperature rated so will not work in -40 weather, have to use heating torch to warm up resistor block first.

Push center button, then pull back one of the 2 arms to lock in. Blower will stop when arm or arms r released.

Hi Calvin. I don't know for sure. Mine has worked great from day one. Are you holding the silver button down before you grip the the handle to start the blower? Push the silver button on the grip in all the way with one hand and squeeze the grip with the other hand. Should start right up. I didn't have to do anything other than plug mine in, so I can't say anything about fuses, or anything. Hope you get yours working.

Suggestion: my heater did the same thing and I found that the front 'dome' and inside [where the blower motor is >> you will have to take off the outer cover], had a minute layer of dust that the unit somehow sensed. I used a dust brush, clean paint brushes, and some compressed air and blew what seemed miniscule particles away... IT WORKED. [my indoor parabolic quartz heater had the same problem which led me to try this....].. GOOD LUCK

If not a wiring issue, look into the compressor start capacitor. There usually is a separate one for the blower so that would start but not the compressor. Other than those no other easy fixes.
