A
, Figure 12). Pull
the starter cord handle slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.
WARNING: Rapid retraction of the starter cord (kickback)
will pull your hand and arm toward the engine faster
than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises,
or sprains could result. When starting engine, pull the
starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull
rapidly to avoid kickback.
NOTE: If the engine does not start after three attempts, see the
Engine Manual Troubleshooting section.
8. Electric Start: First connect the extension cord to the power cord
receptacle and then into a wall receptacle. If additional extension cord is
required, make sure it is three-wire.
WARNING: If the extension cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer (or its service agent)
or a similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard.
