WARNING: The optional electric starter is equipped with agrounded three-wire power

cord and plug, and isdesigned to operate on 120volt AC household current. It must

be used with a properly grounded three- prong receptacle at all times to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

If your home's 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 isnot available, do not use your snow thrower's electric

starter.

Follow all instructions carefully prior to operating the electric starter.
