CONTROLS

Ignition Switch

Choke Control

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

Choke control

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.
