The engine has an electric start option that requires a 12 volt battery (sold-
separately). Use a 12V battery with a rating of at least 18 ampere-hours with
the engine.
The engine has two battery cables with copper lugs. The polarity of each cable
is displayed on a rubber cover where they connect on either side of the starter
motor (Fig. 2-2).
