220 volt A.C. household current. The power
cord must be properly grounded at all times
to avoid the possibility of electrical shock
which can injure the operator. Carefully fol-
low all instructions in the “How To Start The
Engine” section. Make sure that your house
wiring is a three--wire grounded system. If
you are not sure, ask a licensed electrician.
If your house wire system is not a
three--wire grounded system, do not use
this electric starter under any conditions. If
your system is grounded but a three--hole
grounded receptacle is not available to start
the engine, have a three--hole grounded re-
ceptacle installed by a licensed electrician.
To connect a 220 volt A.C. power cord, al-
ways connect the power cord to the switch
box (11) on the engine first. Then, plug the
other end into the three--hole grounded re-
