WARNING
The electrical cord can become damaged,
causing a shock or fire.
Thoroughly inspect the electrical cord before
using the machine. If the cord is damaged,
do not operate the machine. Replace or repair
the damaged cord immediately. Contact an
Authorized Service Dealer for assistance.
Important: To prevent damaging the electric
starter, run it in short cycles (5 seconds maximum,
then wait one minute before trying to start it
again). If the engine still does not start, take
the machine to an Authorized Service Dealer for
service.
9. Disconnect the extension cord from the power outlet
first and then from the machine (electric start only).
10. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes, then
move the choke toward the Run position. Wait for the
engine to run smoothly before each choke adjustment.
WARNING
If you leave the machine plugged into a power
outlet, someone can inadvertently start the machine
and injure people or damage property.
Unplug the power cord whenever you are not
starting the machine.
