  • Shut-down in mid swing, and access to codes and manuals. A 2001 210LX that shut down abruptly mid-swing and would not restart after new fuel filters and bleeding (a reply said it may share the fuel feed pipe arrangement of a JCB or Case machine with an Isuzu engine), an owner asking how to read codes on a 210X2 and whether it has a diagnostic connector, and a request for a 210X2 operator manual. Threads read: 1, 2, 3.
