STARTING CONTROLS
Electric Start Units Only
A.Electric Start Button - The Electric Start Button (A, Figure 3) activates an electric starter mounted to the engine, eliminating the need to pull the starter handle. The Electric Start Button operates on 120 Volts AC, which is provided by connection to the extension cord provided with units equipped with this feature. Connect this extension cord ONLY to a properly grounded 3 prong electrical outlet.
Manual Start
B.Fuel Valve - The fuel valve (B, Figure 3) is located under the fuel tank. It is used to turn the fuel supply off for
C.Starter Handle - The starter handle (C, Figure 3) connects to a starter cord to manually start the engine. Pulling starter handle rapidly spins the engine crankshaft, cycles the engine, and generates the spark necessary for starting the engine.
D.Primer Button - When pressed, the primer button (D, Figure 3) provides initial fuel to help start a cold engine. Normally, pressing the primer button twice will provide enough fuel to start a cold engine.
E.Throttle Lever - The throttle lever (E, Figure 3) con- trols the engine speed. For best overall performance, the throttle lever should be set to the FAST position. Use the SLOW position only for warming the engine, or to help prevent snow/ice
F.Engine Key - The Engine Key (F, Figure 3) prevents the engine from being started by unauthorized indi- viduals. The key must be fully inserted into the key slot for the unit to start. The key is also used to stop the engine by pulling the key out of the key slot.
G.Choke Knob - The Choke Knob (G, Figure 3) adjusts the air/fuel mixture, and is used to help start a cold engine by providing a richer mixture. Once the engine is warm and running smoothly, the Choke Knob should be set to the off position to provide a normal air/fuel mix.
