NOTE: The following starting instructions are for several
different types of engines. In order to locate the instructions that
apply to your engine, first determine what type of starter you
have (Figure 8). If you have an electric starter, see Engines With
Electric Starters. If you have a manual recoil starter, see Engines
with Recoil Starters later in this section.

Starters
If you have a manual recoil starter, see Engines
with Recoil Starters later in this section.
DO NOT pull recoil starter with engine running. Doing so
may VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
The electric starter is equipped with a 120V A.C. Power
Plug designed to operated with a grounded extension
cord and on 120V A.C. household current. It must be
properly grounded at all times to avoid the possibility of
injury or death from electrical shock.
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.
If your house wiring does not have a G.F.I. Three-Wire
Grounded System, DO NOT USE THIS ELECTRIC STARTER
UNDER ANY CONDITION.
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
started and run outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
2. Be sure fuel shut-off valve, if present (see equipment
Operator's Manual instructions) is open and all switches are
in the "ON" position.
3. Plug an extension cord into the electric starter inlet located

WARNING
WARNING
The extension cord can be any length, but must be
rated for 15 amps at 125 volts, grounded and rated for
outdoor use.
IMPORTANT: When connecting the power cord, always
connect the power cord to the electric starter inlet on the
engine first; then into the G.F.I. three-pronged wall outlet.
4. Move engine speed control, if equipped, in the "FAST"
position.
5. If equipped, set the choke control to "FULL CHOKE" position.
6. If equipped, Prime 3 - 5 times.
• Make sure you cover the vent hole with your thumb.
• Hold the primer bulb in for one full second each time you
press it.
NOTE: DO NOT use the primer bulb to restart a warm engine
after a short shutdown. Doing so will flood the engine and
may result in difficulty starting.
NOTE: If restarting a warm engine after a short shutdown,
move the engine speed control (if equipped) to the "FAST"
position and move the choke control to the "NO CHOKE"
position.
7. Push the starter button to start the engine.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate an electric starter for more than
5 seconds during each attempt.
8. Release the starter button.
NOTE: If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts, repeat
steps 6 through 7.
9. After the engine starts:
• Move the choke control to 1/2 "CHOKE" position until the
engine runs smoothly.
• Next, move the choke control to the "NO CHOKE" position.
