CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and mowing require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination and sequence of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.

A. Motion Control Levers

These levers control the ground speed and direction of motion of the mower. The left and right levers are tied together so you can operate either lever to control the mower’s ground speed and forward or reverse direction.

Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD speed of the mower, and pulling back on a levers increases the REVERSE speed.

Note: The further a lever is moved away from the neutral position the faster the mower will travel.

B. Engine Ignition Switch

Rotate the key switch to the ON position before pulling on the starter rope.

C. Throttle Control

The throttle controls engine speed. Move the throttle for- ward to increase engine speed and back to decrease engine speed. Always operate at FULL throttle.

D. Choke

Close the choke for cold starting. Open the choke once the engine starts. A warm engine may not require chok- ing. Pull the knob up to close the choke.
