CONTROLS

7. Throttle Control and Choke Control

Choke Control

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

The choke control is combined with the Throttle control. To engage the choke, the throttle control is moved past the max rpm setting to its choke position.

Do not use the choke when starting a warm engine.

Choke control

Throttle Control
The throttle control regulates the engine
speed and thereby the rate of rotation of the
blades, assuming the control for engaging the
mower deck is pulled forward, see “8. Blade
Engagement Lever” on page 18.
In order to increase or decrease the engine
speed, the control is moved forward or
backward respectively.
Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as
there is a risk of the spark plugs fouling.
USE FULL THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for
best mower performance.	8011-682

8. Blade Engagement Lever

The blade engagement lever is on the left support by the control panel.

In order to engage the blades, push the lever forward. The blades are disengaged when the lever is pulled backward.

The blade engagement lever needs to be adjusted so the lever does not come in contact with control panel when the lever is in the off position.
