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 38593 only).
Note: If you pull the recoil handle and feel no
resistance, the starter may be frozen. Thaw out the
starter before attempting to start the machine.
