der any conditions.
If your system is grounded and a
three-hole receptacle is not avail-
able at the point your starter will
normally be used, one should be
installed by a licensed electrician.

cord to the Switch Box on the en-
gine first, then plug the other end
into the three-hole grounded re-
ceptacle.
