CONTROLS
Throttle Control
The throttle control regulates the engine speed and thereby the rate of rotation of the blades, assuming the blade switch is pulled out, see Engaging the Mower Deck.
In order to increase or decrease the engine speed, the control is moved.
Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there is a risk of fouling the spark plug.
USE FULL THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for best mower performance and battery charging.
Blade Switch
In order to engage the mower deck, pull the knob out; the mower blades are disengaged when the knob is depressed.
Parking Brake
The parking brake is found on the operator’s left. Pull the lever upward to activate the brake and downward to release it.
The park brake is designed to hold the mower from moving and is not intended for use in stopping the mower while it is in motion. The engine will stop if the park brake is engaged while the control levers are in the drive position.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The machine must stand absolutely still when applying the parking brake. Always set the parking brake before dismounting. Release the parking brake before moving the mower.
