If the electric starter fails or the battery’s voltage is
too low to power the starter, use the cord from the
tool kit and these instructions to start your engine
manually.
Tie a knot in one end of the emergency starter cord.
Thread the small bar from the tools kit halfway
through one knot so it forms a handle.
Connect clip to the emergency stop switch/stop but-
ton.
Place knot of starter cord in notch on flywheel pul-
ley. Wrap cord around pulley clockwise.
Follow the starting procedure in Engine Starting.
IMPORTANT: The battery must have enough re-
serve voltage to activate the electric pump or the
engine will not start using the emergency starting
procedures. Do your best to determine battery sta-
tus by listening for the electric fuel pump audible cy-
cle before continuing the emergency starting
procedures. The electric fuel pump cycles each
time the key switch is turned from OFF to ON.
While seated, pull hard on emergency starting cord
quickly and completely. Repeat, if necessary.
Place key switch in OFF position with the motor in
normal operating position. Refer to Tilting.
Move the control handle to NEUTRAL, then remove
engine cover.
