CONTROLS

5. Ignition Switch

The ignition key is placed on the driver’s panel and is used to start and stop the engine.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Do not run the starter for more than five seconds each time. If the engine does not start, wait about 10 seconds before retrying.

6. Choke Control

The choke is used for cold starts to provide the engine with a richer fuel mixture.

Two choke options are available, depending on model. For units with a separate choke control, pull the choke control knob up. For units with choke/throttle combinations, push the throttle control all of the way forward into the indicated slot.

7. 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.
