STARTING, Operation & Stopping Recoil Start Models

Section 2 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

2.1PRE-START CHECK LIST

2.1.9.Check the AC electrical outlet that will be used and make sure it is a polarized outlet. The machine has a polarized plug (one blade of plug is wider than the other) that will accept a polarized extension cord. The extension cord will fit into a polarized outlet (receptacle) only one way. If plug does not fit fully into your outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a proper polarized outlet. DO NOT modify or change this polarized plug in any way.
