STARTING CONTROLS
See Figure 17 for the following instructions.
Electric Start
A=
Electric Start Button - The Electric Start Button (A)
activates an electric starter mounted to the engine,
eliminating the need to pull the starter handle. The
Electric Start Button operates on 120 Volts AC, which
is provided by connection to the extension cord pro-
vided with units equipped with this feature. Connect
this extension cord ONLY to a properly grounded
3 prong electrical outlet.
Manual Start
B. FuelValve - (Select Models) The fuel valve (B) is
located under the fuel tank. It is used to turn the fuel
supply off for out-of-season storage.
Co Starter Handle - The starter handle (C) connects to a
starter cord to manually start the engine. Pulling start-
er handle rapidly spins the engine crankshaft, cycles
the engine, and generates the spark necessary for
starting the engine.
D. Primer Button - When pressed, the primer button
(D) provides initial fuel to help start a cold engine.
Normally, pressing the primer button twice will pro-
vide enough fuel to start a cold engine.
E. Throttle Lever - (Optional) The throttle lever (E) con-
trols the engine speed. For best overall performance,
the throttle lever should be set to the FAST position.
Use the SLOW position only for warming the engine,
or to help prevent snow/ice freeze-up when shutting
the unit down for the day.
F. Engine Key - The engine key (F) prevents the
engine from being started by unauthorized individu-
als. The key must be fully inserted into the key slot
for the unit to start. The key is also used to stop the
engine by pulling the key out of the key slot.
G. Choke Knob - The choke knob (G) adjusts the air/
fuel mixture, and is used to help start a cold engine
by providing a richer mixture. Once the engine is
warm and running smoothly, the choke knob should
be set to the off position to provide a normal air/fuel
mix.
Ho Stop Switch - (Optional) Switch to the ON position
to operate the engine. Switch to the OFF position to
stop the engine.
