Note:
To use the electric starter, connect a power
cord to the electric starter plug first and then to a
power outlet (all models except 38597).
Important:
To prevent damaging the electric
starter, run it in short cycles (5 seconds
maximum, then wait one minute before trying
to start it again). If the engine still does not
start, take the machine to an Authorized Service
Dealer for service (all models except 38597).
8. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet
first and then from the machine (all models except
38597).
9. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes,
move the choke toward the Run position. Wait
for the engine to run smoothly before each choke
adjustment.
CAUTION
If you leave the machine plugged into a power
outlet, someone can inadvertently start the
machine and injure people or damage property.
Unplug the power cord whenever you are not
starting the machine.
Stopping the Engine

the Stop position (Figure 33).
