! WARNING

A. Engines with Electric Starters

If you have a recoil starter see "B. Engines with Recoil Starters" instructions on page 13.

Some electric starters are equipped with a 120V A.C. Three-Wire Power

Cord and Plug designed to operate on a 120V A.C. household current. It must be properly grounded at all times to avoid the possibility of injury or death from electrical shock.

a.Determine if your house wiring has a Ground Fault Interrupted (G.F.I.) Three-Wire Grounded System; if you are not sure ask a Licensed Electrician.

b.If your house wiring does not have a G.F.I. Three- Wire Grounded System, DO NOT USE THIS ELECTRIC STARTER UNDER ANY CONDITION.

c.If your house wiring is grounded and a G.F.I. Three- Prong Wall Receptacle is not available at the location where your starter will be used, one must be installed by a Licensed Electrician BEFORE USING THE ELECTRIC STARTER.

1.To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, be sure engine is outdoors in a well-ventilated area.

2.Be sure fuel valve, if present (see equipment manufac- turer’s instructions) is open and all switches are on. See Figure 19.

NOTES

If your engine is equipped with a 12V battery-operated electric starter, proceed to step 4.

When connecting power cord, always connect power cord to switch box on engine first; then into outlet. See Figure 20.

European 220V A.C. Applications use an appropriate grounded extension lead, available locally.

3.Connect power cord to switch box on engine. See Figure 20.

4.Plug end of power cord into outlet.
