Throttle Control
The throttle control regulates the engine speed
and the rate of rotation of the blades, assuming
the blade switch is pulled out.
To increase or decrease the engine speed, the
control is moved forward or back respectively.
Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there
is a risk of fouling the spark plugs. USE FULL
THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for best mower
performance and battery charging.
Choke Control
The choke control is used for cold starts to
provide the engine with a richer fuel mixture. For
cold starts, pull the control up.
Blade Switch
To engage the mower deck, pull the knob out;
mower blades are disengaged when the knob is
pressed down.
