Units with Optional Electric Start
A.Electric Start Button (North American Models)- The electric start button (A) activates an electric starter mounted to the engine, eliminating the need to pull the starter handle. The electric start button oper- ates on 120 Volts AC, which is provided by connec- tion to the extension cord provided with units equipped with this feature. Connect this extension cord ONLY to a properly grounded 3 prong elec- trical outlet.

Manual Start
B.Fuel Valve - The fuel valve (B) is located under the fuel tank. It is used to turn the fuel supply off for out-
C.Starter Handle - The starter handle (C) 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 neces- sary for starting the engine.
D.Primer Button - When pressed, the primer button
(D) provides initial fuel to help start a cold engine. Normally, pressing the primer button twice will pro- vide enough fuel to start a cold engine.
E.Engine Key - The engine key (E) prevents the engine from being started by unauthorized individu- als. 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.
F.Choke Knob - The choke knob (F) 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.
G.On/Off Switch - The on/off switch (G) prevents the engine from being started. The switch must be ON for the unit to start.
