WARNING
POISONOUS GAS HAZARD. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You
CANNOT see it, smell it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust
fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas. If you start
to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this product, shut it off and get
to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Operate this product ONLY outside far away from windows, doors and vents to

reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being
drawn towards occupied spaces.
Install battery--operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug--in carbon monoxide

alarms with battery back-up according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces,

sheds, or other partially-enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors
and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these
spaces and can linger for hours, even after this product has shut off.
ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the engine exhaust away from

occupied spaces.
WARNING
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.
Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic
amputation, or laceration.
Fire hazard


First attach extension cord to electric starter connector and then into a wall

receptacle. If additional extension cord is required, use a 3-wire.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its

position.
Note: Priming is usually unnecessary when restarting a warm engine.
8. Rewind Start: Firmly hold the starter cord handle (G, Figure 4). Pull the starter cord
handle slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.
Note: If the engine does not start after repeated attempts, go to
BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM or call 1-800-233-3723 (in USA).
WARNING:
Rapid retraction of the starter cord (kickback) will pull your
hand and arm toward the engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures,
bruises or sprains could result. When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
9. Electric Start: First connect the extension cord to the power cord receptacle (H, 120
Volt) or (K, 230 Volt) and then into a wall receptacle. See Figure 5. If an additional
extension cord is required, make sure to use a 3-wire grounded extension cord.
WARNING:
If the extension cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a
hazard.
10. Electric Start: Depress the push button (I). After you start the engine, first
disconnect the extension cord from the wall receptacle and then from the power cord
receptacle (H, K).
Note: If the engine does not start after repeated attempts, go to
BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM or call 1-800-233-3723 (in USA).
NOTICE: To extend the life of the starter, use short starting cycles (five seconds
maximum). Wait one minute between starting cycles.
11. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes. Then, slowly move the choke
control knob to the run position.
