Starting the Engine
Electric-Start Model
Note:
To use the electric starter (electric-start models only), connect a power cord to the plug-in first and then
to a power outlet. Use only a UL-listed, 16-gauge extension cord recommended for outdoor use that is not
longer than 50 ft (15 m).
WARNING
The electrical cord can become damaged, causing a shock or fire.
Thoroughly inspect the electrical cord before using the machine. If the cord is damaged, do
not use it. Replace or repair the damaged cord immediately. Contact an Authorized Service
Dealer for assistance.
CAUTION
If you leave the machine plugged into a power outlet, someone can inadvertently start the
machine and injure people or damage property.
Unplug the power cord whenever you are not starting the machine.
