Stopping The Engine - Briggs & Stratton 130000 Operator's Manual

7. For rewind start: Firmly hold the starter cord handle (H).
Pull the 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.
8. For electric start: Connect the extension cord (E, Figure
6) to the starter box (F) on the engine, and then to the wall
receptacle. Press the starter box pushbutton (G). After the
engine starts, disconnect the extension cord from the wall
receptacle and then from the starter box.
WARNING
Damaged or ungrounded power cords could cause electric
shock. Electric shock could cause severe burns or death.
• Use only a three-conductor power cord properly
grounded to the power source.
• If the extension cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly
qualified person.
NOTICE To extend the life of the starter, use short starting
cycles (five seconds maximum). Wait one minute between
starting attempts.
If the engine does not start after repeated attempts, contact
an authorized service dealer or go to our website.
9. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes. Gradually
move the choke control (F, Figure 5) to the Open position.
