plug, and is designed to operate on 120 volt
AC household current. It must be used with a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle at
all  times  to  avoid  the  possibility  of  electric

operating the electric starter.
To Stop Engine
To stop engine, remove the ignition key. Do not turn
key. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark
plug to prevent accidental starting while equipment
is unattended.
Determine that your house wiring is a three-wire
grounded system. Ask a licensed electrician if you
are not certain.
If your house wiring system is not a three-wire
grounded system, do not use this electric starter
under any conditions.
If your home electrical system is grounded, but
a three-hole receptacle is not available, one should
be installed by a licensed electrician before using
the electric starter.
If you have a grounded three-prong receptacle,
proceed as follows.
To help prevent possible freeze-up of starter, proceed
as follows:
Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to
help dry off any moisture on the engine.
Electric Starter: Connect power cord to switch box
on engine, then to 120 volt AC receptacle. With the
engine running, push starter button and spin the
starter for several seconds. The unusual sound
made by spinning the starter will not harm engine or
starter. Disconnect the power cord from receptacle
