Section 2 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

2.2STARTING & OPERATION 2.2.2. ENGINE & BLADE (120 Volt Electric Start)

WARNING

The 120 volt electric start models are supplied with a 10 foot three-wire power cord. The plug is designed to operate on 120 volt AC household current. It must be properly grounded at ALL times to avoid the possibility of electric shock, which may cause injury to the operator. Follow ALL instructions carefully as set forth below. Determine that your house wiring system is a three-wire grounded system. Ask a licensed electrician if you are not sure. If your house wiring system is not a three-wire grounded system, DO NOT use this electric start mower under any condition. If your system is grounded and a three-hole receptacle is NOT available, one should be installed by a licensed electrician.

IMPORTANT: If using a power cord other than the one supplied with machine, then use a power cord that is heavy enough to carry the correct amount of current to the mower. See chart, (OPTIONAL POWER CORDS) for correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord.
