I purchased a Toro snowblower with an electric start recently, but it won’t start unless it’s plugged in?

I thought the unit had a battery that I could charge, but it doesn't seem that way. Am I missing something? It's a Toro 522 Power Throw. Thanks in advance for any insights.
Basically, does this mean that if I don't use the "pull" starter, I'll have to have it plugged in to the wall socket with an extension cord when I press the ignition button?

    Hi, the snowblowers that I've seen use 120 volt starters also. I think its common.

    Yes, the starter motor runs on 120 volt household voltage. There is no battery, if 120 volt power is not available you will have to use the pull start.
