For rewind start:
Firmly hold the starter cord handle (H).
Pull the handle slowly until resistance is felt, then pull
rapidly.
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.

For electric start:
Connect the extension cord (E,
Figure 6) to the starter box (F) on the engine, and the wall
receptacle. Push the starter box push-button (G). After
the engine starts, disconnect the extension cord from the
wall receptacle and the starter box.
WARNING
Damaged or ungrounded power cords could cause electric
shock. Electric shock could cause severe burns or death.
• Use only a three-conductor power cord that is
correctly grounded to the power source.
• If the extension cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly
qualified person.
NOTICE
To extend the life of the starter, use short starting
cycles (five seconds maximum). Wait one minute between
start attempts.
If the engine does not start after repeated attempts,
contact an authorized service dealer.
