Park Brake

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The machine must be not be moving when engaging the park brake. Always set the park brake before dismounting. Release the park brake before moving the mower.

The park brake is found on the left of the machine. Push the release button and pull the lever backward to activate the brake—push forward to release it.

Throttle Control

The throttle control regulates the engine speed and the rate of rotation of the blades, assuming the blade switch is pulled up.

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.

For best mower performance and battery charging,

USE FULL THROTTLE WHEN STARTING OR MOWING.

Cold Weather Control

In temperatures below 32OF, move the throttle control forward past the start detent to the snowflake symbol. Once the engine has started, slowly move the throttle control back to the full throttle position.
