WARNING
The electrical cord can become damaged,
causing a shock or fire.
Thoroughly inspect the electrical cord before
plugging it into a power source. If the

immediately. Contact an Authorized Service
Dealer for assistance (model 38283 only).

Important: Run the electric starter no more
than 10 times at intervals of 5 seconds on, then
5 seconds off. Running the electric starter
extensively can overheat and damage it. If the
engine does not start after this series of attempts,
wait at least 40 minutes to allow the starter to cool
before attempting to start it again. If the engine
does not start after the second series of attempts,
take the machine to an Authorized Service Dealer
for service (model 38283 only).
Note: If the recoil starter does not operate properly, it
may be frozen. Thaw out the starter before attempting
to start the machine.
