Starting with Cord Handle
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 an
authorized dealer.
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
12). 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.
NOTE: If the engine does not start after three attempts, see an
authorized dealer.
11. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes. Then slowly
move the choke control knob to the RUN position.
