Follow all instructions carefully. Determine that your house wiring is a three wire grounded system. Ask a licensed electrician if you are not certain. If your house wiring system is not a three-wire grounded system, do not use this electric starter under any conditions. If your system is grounded and a three- hole receptacle is not available at the point your starter will normally be used, one should be installed by a licensed electrician.

When connecting the power cord, always connect cord to starter on engine first, then plug the other end into a three-hole grounded receptacle.

When disconnecting the power cord, always unplug the end from the three-hole grounded receptacle first.

1.Make certain the auger drive and traction drive clutch grips are in the disengaged (released) position.

2.Move throttle control up to FAST position. Insert ignition key into slot. Refer to Figure 21. Be certain it snaps into place. Do not turn key.

3.Rotate choke knob to OFF position.

4.Connect power cord to switch box on engine. Plug the other end of power cord into a three- hole, grounded 120 volt AC receptacle.

5.Push starter button on top of the engine to crank engine. As you crank the engine, move choke knob to FULL choke position.

6.When engine starts, release starter button, and move choke gradually to OFF. If engine falters, move choke immediately to FULL and then gradually to OFF.

7.Repeat steps 6 and 7 until engine starts. If engine fails to start, repeat steps 5, 6, and 7 until engine starts.

6.Pull starter handle rapidly. Do not allow handle to snap back. Allow it to rewind slowly while keeping a firm hold on the starter handle.

7.Repeat steps 6 and 7 until engine starts. If engine fails to start, repeat steps 5, 6 and 7 until engine starts.

TO STOP ENGINE

1.Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to help dry off any moisture on the engine.

2.To help prevent possible freeze-up of starter, proceed as follows.

Electric Starter:

Connect power cord to switch box on engine, then to 120 volt AC receptacle. With the engine running, push starter button and spin the starter for several seconds. The unusual sound made by spinning the starter will not harm engine or starter. Disconnect the power cord from receptacle first, and then from switch box.

Recoil Starter:

With engine running, pull starter rope with a rapid, continuous full arm stroke three or four times. Pulling the starter rope will produce a loud clattering sound, which is not harmful to the engine or starter.

3.To stop engine, remove the ignition key. Do not turn key. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting while equipment is unattended.

NOTE: Do not lose ignition key. Keep it in a safe place. Engine will not start without the ignition key.

4.Wipe all snow and moisture from the carburetor cover in the area of the control levers. Also, move control levers back and forth several times. Leave throttle control lever in the STOP or OFF position. Leave choke control in the FULL choke position.
