_ ARNING: The starter is
equipped with a three-wire
power cord and plug and is
designed to operate on 120 volt AC
household current. It must be prop-
erly grounded at all times to avoid
the possibility of electrical shock
which may be injurious to operator.
Follow all instructions carefully as
set forth in the "To Start Engine"
section. Determine that your house
wiring is a three-wire grounded sys-
tem. Ask a licensed electrician if you
are not sure. If your house wire sys-
tem is not a three-wire system, do
not use this electric starter under any
conditions. If your system is
grounded and a three-hole recep-
tacle is not available at the point
your starter will normally be used,
one should be installed by a licensed
electrician. When connecting 120
volt AC "Power Cord", always con-
nect the cord to the Switch Box" on
the engine first, then plug the other
end into the three-hole grounded re-
ceptacle. When disconnecting "Pow-
er cord", always unplug the power
cord from the three-hole grounded
receptacle first.

power cord to the engine and de-
press the starter button.
