WARNING
CAUTION
Rapid retraction of the starter cord (kickback) will pull your hand and arm toward the engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result. When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
To extend the life of the starter, use short starting cycles (five seconds maximum.) Wait one minute between starting cycles.
Note: If the engine does not start after three attempts, see the Engine Manual Troubleshooting section.
