Models equipped with an Electric Starter
NOTE: An electric starter kit can be added to
recoil start engines. Electric starter kits are
available from your nearest authorized
service center.
WARNING: The starter is equipped
with a three-wire power cord and
plug and is designed to operate on
A.C. household current. The power cord
must be properly grounded at all times to
avoid the possibility of electrical shock
which can injure the operator. Carefully
follow all instructions in the “How To Start
The Engine” section. Make sure that your
house wiring is a three-wire grounded
system. If you are not sure, ask a licensed
electrician. If your house wire system is not
a three-wire grounded system, do not use
this electric starter under any conditions. If
your system is grounded but a three-hole
grounded receptacle is not available to start
the engine, have a three-hole grounded
receptacle installed by a licensed
electrician. To connect an A.C. power cord,
always connect the power cord to the
switch box (11) on the engine first. Then,
plug the other end into the three-hole
grounded receptacle. When disconnecting
the power cord, always unplug the end from
the three-hole grounded receptacle first.
