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 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 ignition key fully into slot, Fig. 5-1. Make sure it snaps 

into place. DO NOT turn ignition key. The engine cannot 

start unless the key is inserted into ignition switch.

Plug the extension cord into the electric outlet located 

on the engine. 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 throttle control to FAST (rabbit) position.
Move choke to the ON position (cold engine start). If 

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

vent hole when pushing. If engine is warm, push primer 

only once. Always cover vent hole when pushing. Cool 

weather may require priming to be repeated. 
Push starter button to start engine. Once the engine 
starts, immediately release starter button. Electric starter 
is equipped with thermal overload protection; 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 

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

with choke at half-choke position for a short period of time, 

and then slowly rotate the choke into OFF position.
After engine is running, disconnect power cord from 

electric starter. When disconnecting, always unplug the 

end at the wall outlet before unplugging the opposite end 

from the engine.
