Always keep hands and feet clear of 

moving parts. Do not use a pressurized starting 

fluid. Vapors are flammable.

Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes after 

starting. The engine will not develop full power until it reaches 

operating temperatures.

The electric starter is equipped with a 

grounded three-wire power cord and 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 shock. Follow all instructions 

carefully prior to operating the electric starter. DO 

NOT use electric starter in rain.

Determine that your home’s wiring is a three-wire grounded 

1. 

system. Ask a licensed electrician if you are unsure. If you 

have a grounded three-prong receptacle, proceed as 

follows. If you do not have the proper house wiring, DO 

NOT use the electric starter under any conditions.
Insert the ignition key fully into the slot, Fig. 5-1. Make sure it

snaps into place. DO NOT turn the ignition key. The engine 

cannot start unless the key is inserted into the ignition 

switch. 

Plug the extension cord into the electric outlet located on 

3. 

the plastic shroud. Plug the other end of extension cord 

into a three-prong 120-volt, grounded, AC outlet in a well-

ventilated area.  See Fig. 5-2.

Move the throttle control to the FAST (rabbit) position.

4. 

Move the choke to the ON position (cold engine start). If the 

5. 

engine is warm, place the choke in the OFF position.
Push the primer three to five (3-5) times, making sure to 

6. 

cover the vent hole when pushing. If the engine is warm, 

push the primer only once. Always cover the vent hole 

when pushing. Cool weather may require priming to be 

repeated. 
Push the starter button to start the engine. 

7. 

Once the 

engine starts, immediately release the starter button. 
The electric starter is equipped with thermal overload 
protection; the system will temporarily shut-down to allow 
starter to cool if electric starter becomes overloaded.
As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control to 

8. 

the OFF position. If the engine falters, restart the engine 

and run with the choke at half-choke position for a short 

period of time, and then slowly rotate the choke into the 

OFF position.
After the engine is running, disconnect the power cord 

9. 

from the electric starter. When disconnecting, always 

unplug the end at the wall outlet before unplugging the 

opposite end from the engine.
