OPERATION
8. Rewind Start: Firmly hold the starter cord handle (A, Figure
8). 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.
9. 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.
10. Electric Start: Depress the starter push button (A, Figure 9).
After you start the engine, first disconnect the extension cord
from the wall receptacle and then from the power cord
receptacle (B).
IMPORTANT: To extend the life of the starter, use short
starting cycles (five seconds maximum). Wait one
minute between starting cycles.

and recoil starter. Before starting the engine, be certain that you
have read the following information.
If engine floods, set the choke to the OPEN/RUN position and
crank until the engine starts.
WARNING: The electric starter is equipped with a three-
wire power cord and plug designed to operate on AC
household current. The power cord must be properly
grounded at all times to avoid the possibility of electric shock
which can cause injury to the operator. Follow all instructions
carefully as set forth:
Make sure your house has a three-wire grounded system.
If you are not sure, ask a licensed electrician. If your house
does not have a three-wire grounded system, do not use this
electric starter under any condition.
If your house has a three-wire grounded system but a three-
hole receptacle is not available to connect the electric starter,
have a three-hole receptacle installed by a licensed electrician.
WARNING: To connect power cord, always connect the
power cord first to the switch box located on the
engine and then plug the other end into a three-hole
grounded receptacle.
WARNING: To disconnect the power cord, always
unplug the end connected to the three-hole grounded
receptacle first.
