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 38283 only).

Note:

If the recoil starter does not operate properly, it

may be frozen. Thaw out the starter before attempting
to start the machine.

CAUTION

If you leave the machine plugged into a power
source, someone can inadvertently start the
machine and injure people or damage property.
