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.

Note: Use only a UL-listed, 16-gauge extension cord
recommended for outdoor use that is not longer than
50 feet (15 m).
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
cord is damaged, do not use it to start the
machine. Replace or repair the damaged cord
immediately. Contact an Authorized Service
Dealer for assistance.
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 38452 only).
