•
Determine that your house wiring is a three-wire
grounded system. Ask a licensed electrician if you
are not certain.
•
If your house wiring system is not a three-wire
grounded system, do not use this electric starter
under any conditions.
WARNING:
The electric starter is equipped
with a grounded three-wire power cord and
plug and is designed to operate on 120 volt
AC household current. It must be used with a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle at
all times to avoid the possibility of electric
shock. Follow all instructions carefully prior to
operating the electric starter.
•
If your home electrical system is grounded, but a
three-hole receptacle is not available, one should
be installed by a licensed electrician before using
the electric starter.

If you have a grounded three-prong receptacle,
proceed as follows:

Connect power cord to switch box on engine. Plug
the other end of power cord into a three-hole,
grounded 120 volt AC receptacle.
