Starting the Engine
WARNING!
Always keep hands and feet clear of
moving parts. Do not use a pressurized starting
fluid. Vapors are flammable.
NOTE:
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes after
starting. The engine will not develop full power until it reaches
operating temperatures.
Electric Starter
WARNING!
The electric starter is equipped with a
grounded three-wire power cord and plug, and is
designed to operate on 120 volt AC household
current. It must be used with a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle at all times to avoid the
possibility of electric shock. Follow all instructions
carefully prior to operating the electric starter.
DO NOT use the electric starter in rain.
Determine that your home’s wiring is a three-wire
1.
grounded system. Ask a licensed electrician if you are
unsure. If you have a grounded three-prong receptacle,
proceed as follows. If you do not have the proper house
wiring, DO NOT use the electric starter under any
conditions.
Insert the key fully into the slot, Fig. 5-1. Make sure it snaps
2.
into place. DO NOT turn the key. The engine cannot start
unless the key is inserted into the ignition switch.
Plug the extension cord into the electric outlet located on the
3.
plastic shroud. Plug the other end of extension cord into
a three-prong 120-volt, grounded, AC outlet in a well-
ventilated area. See Fig. 5-2.
Move the throttle control to the FAST (rabbit) position.
4.
Move the choke to the CHOKE position (cold engine start). If the
5.
engine is warm, place the choke in the RUN position.
Push the primer three (3) times, making sure to cover
6.
the vent hole when pushing. If the engine is warm, push
the primer only once. Always cover the vent hole when
pushing. Cool weather may require priming to be repeated.
Push the starter button to start the engine.
7.
Once the
engine starts, immediately release the starter button.
The electric starter is equipped with thermal overload
protection; the system will temporarily shut-down to
allow the starter to cool if the electric starter becomes
overloaded.
As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control to
8.
the RUN position. If the engine falters, restart the engine
and run with the choke at half-choke position for a short
period of time, and then slowly rotate the choke into the
RUN position.
After the engine is running, disconnect the power cord
9.
from the electric starter. When disconnecting, always
unplug the end at the wall outlet before unplugging the
opposite end from the engine.
