Note: Remove your glove when you push in the
primer so that air cannot escape from the primer hole.
Important: Do not use the primer or the choke if
the engine has been running and is hot. Excessive
priming may flood the engine and prevent it from
starting.
4. Connect an extension cord to a power source and the
machine, and push the electric-start button (model
38473 only) (Figure 18), or pull the recoil start handle
(Figure 19).
