all instructions and warnings on the machine
and in this manual before operating.

Electric Starter
•
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 three-wire
grounded system, do not use this electric starter
under any conditions.
WARNING: Use extreme care when
handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and the vapors are explosive.
Never fuel machine indoors or while the
engine is hot or running. Extinguish
cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of
ignition.
WARNING: 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.
•
A plastic cup may be provided inside the fuel fill
opening to protect the tank during manufacturing.
Remove and discard. Use the threaded fuel tank
cap to close after fill-up.
•
If your home electrical system is grounded, but a
three-hole receptacle is not available, one should
be installed by a licensed electrician before using
the electric starter.
To Start Engine
•
Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. Make certain
the metal loop on end of the spark plug wire (inside
the boot) is fastened securely over the metal tip on
the spark plug.
•
•
If you have a grounded three-prong receptacle,
proceed as follows:
Connect power cord to switch box on engine. Plug
the other end of power cord into a three-prong, 120-
volt, grounded, AC receptacle.
•
Make certain the auger and drive controls are in the
disengaged (up) position.
