CONTROLS
Parking Brake
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.
The parking brake is found on the left of the machine. Pull the lever backward to activate the brake and forward to release it.
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 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.
Blade Switch
In order to engage the mower deck, pull the knob out; the mower blades are disengaged when the knob is depressed.
