ever, a small amount of oil may be present from the
factory. Do not overfill.

WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors,
with engine running or while engine is

A

hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.

TO START ENGINE

Electric Starter (Optional)
WARNING: The optional electric starter is eq jipped

with a three-wire power cord and plug, and is
designed to operate on 120 volt AC househo d cur
rent. It must be properly grounded at all times to avoid
the possibility of electric shock which may be in urious
to the operator. Follow all instructions carefully.
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 three­wire grounded system, do not use this electric starter
under any conditions. If your system is grounded and
a three-hole receptacle is not available at tho point
your starter will normally be used, one shojid be
installed by a licensed electrician.

When connecting the power cord, always connect
cord to starter on engine first, then plug the other end
into a three-hole grounded receptacle.

When disconnecting the power cord, always unplug
the end from the three-hole grounded receptacle first.

1. Attach spark plug wire to spark plug.

2. Make certain the auger and drive clutch levers
are in the disengaged (released) position. Place
the shift lever in NEUTRAL (N) position.

3. Move throttle control up to FAST position. Insert
ignition key into slot. See figure 21. Be certain it
snaps into place. Do not turn key.

4. Rotate choke knob to OFF position.

5. Connect power cord to switch box on engine.
Plug the other end of power cord into a three­hole, grounded 120 volt AC receptacle.

6. Push starter button to crank engine. See figure

21. As you crank the engine, move choke knob to
FULL choke position.

7. When engine starts, release starter button, and
move choke gradually to OFF. If engine falters,
move choke immediately to FULL and then grad
ually to OFF.

Recoil Starter:

1. Attach spark plug wire to spark plug.

2. Make certain the auger and drive clutch levers
are in the disengaged (released) position. Place
the shift lever in NEUTRAL (N) position.

3. Move throttle control up to FAST position. Insert
ignition key into slot. See figure 21. Be certain it
snaps into place. Do not turn key.
