ENGINE CONTROLS

Your new rototiller has been designed for both ease of use and lasting reliability, and features a simplified control system that requires just two operating controls.

These two operating controls, the Choke and the Throttle, are conveniently located on the tiller engine where they can be easily adjusted to start and run the unit under a variety of operating conditions.

Throttle

The throttle controls engine speed, and allows you to conserve fuel when idling, or to run the unit at maximum speed for optimal tilling performance.

Choke

Put choke control in choke position if engine is cold. A warm engine requires less choking than a cold engine.

Refer to your engine manual for further information.
