USING THE ELECTRIC START ACCESSORY
Some units can be started with an optional electric start accessory (items sold separately). Electric-
start-capable units are labeled as such and include an electric start port (Fig. 13).
Please contact your local retailer, call the Customer Support Department or visit our website for more
information.
Read the Operator's Manual that came with the electric start accessory before attempting these instructions.
