can be started without the clip in-
stalled on the key switch.
Follow the normal starting procedure.
Depress the engine cutoff switch and
keep it depressed until safety is
reached.
Reinstall a clip as soon as possible.
The operator should always use the
clip and tether cord anytime the en-
gine is running.
