a time. The electric starter is thermally protected. If the
electric starter overheates, it will automatically stop and
can only be restarted when it has cooled to a safe temper-
ature. A wait of about 5 to 10 minutes is required to allow
the electric starter to cool and the thermal protection to re-
set..
The following starting instructions include directions for both
Recoil Start and Electric Start engines. For models that are
Recoil Start only, disregard the Electric Start information.
Electric Start models are equipped with a 120 volt AC electric
starter and also a recoil starter. Before starting the engine,
make certain that you have read the following information.
The starter is designed to operate on 120 volt A.C.
household current. Carefully follow all instruc-
tions in the “How To Start The Engine” section.
To connect a 120 volt A.C. power cord, always connect
the power cord to the switch box on the engine first.

connecting the power cord, always unplug the end from
the receptacle first.
