OPERATION Starting the Engine NOTICE: Engaging the starter when the engine is running WILL result in serious engine damage, especially if the transmission is in reverse. Never engage the starter when the engine is running. 1. Turn the key to the ON position. Pull the engine stop switch up to the RUN position. CAUTION To avoid injury and/or engine damage, do not operate the electric starter or pull-rope starter while the engine is running. 2. If equipped with electric start, turn the key to START to crank the engine. Release the key to the ON position when the engine starts. 3. If not equipped with electric start, grasp the starter handle and pull slowly until the recoil engages; then pull abruptly to crank the engine. TIP: Don't pull the starter rope to the fully extended position and don't allow it to snap back into the housing. Damage may result. 4. Repeat the cranking procedure as needed until the engine starts. TIP: It may require as many as eight to ten pulls to prime the fuel system and start the engine if the fuel tank has been completely emptied. 56
