A. Engines with Electric Starters
Some electric starters are equipped
with a 120V AC Three-Wire Power
Cord and Plug designed to operate on a 120V AC
household current. It must be properly grounded at all
times to avoid the possibility of injury or death from
electrical shock.
a. Determine if your house wiring has a Ground Fault
Interrupted (GFI) Three-Wire Grounded System;
If you are not sure ask a Licensed Electrician.
b. If your house wiring does not have a GFI Three-Wire
Grounded System, DO NOT USE THIS ELECTRIC
STARTER UNDER ANY CONDITION.
c. If your house wiring is grounded and a GFI
Three-Prong Wall Receptacle is not available at
the location where your starter will be used, one
must be installed by a Licensed Electrician BEFORE
USING THE ELECTRIC STARTER.
1.
To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, be sure engine is
outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
NOTES
If your engine is equipped with a 12V battery-operated
electric starter, proceed to step 3.
When connecting power cord, always connect power cord
to switch box on engine first; then into outlet. See Figure 8.
For European 220V AC applications use an appropriate
grounded extension lead available locally.
2.
Connect power cord to switch box on engine.
See Figure 8.
3.
Plug end of power cord into outlet.
4.
Move choke control to “FULL CHOKE” position (see

short shutdown. Doing so will flood the engine and may
result in equipment malfunction.
DO NOT operate an electric starter for more than 5 seconds
each attempt.
