USE OF ELECTRIC STARTER
On models so equipped
WARNING: The electric starter is equipped with
a three-wire power cord and plug designed to
operate on 120 volt AC house hold current. The
power cord must be properly grounded at all times to
avoid the possibility of electric shock which can cause
injury to the operator. Follow all instructions carefully
as set forth below:
Make sure your house has a three-wire grounded sys-
tem. If you are not sure, ask a licensed electrician. If
your house does not have a three-wire grounded sys-
tem, do not use this electric starter under any condi-
tion.
If your house has a three-wire grounded system but a
three hole receptacle is not available to connect the
electric starter, have a three-hole receptacle installed
by a licensed electrician.
WARNING: To connect a 120 volt power cord,
always connect the power cord first to the
switch box located on the engine and then plug
the other end into a three-hole grounded receptacle.
WARNING: To disconnect the power cord, al-
ways unplug the end connected to the three-
hole grounded receptacle first.
