Husqvarna Pro 18 manual Throttle control

PRESENTATION PRO 18

Throttle control

The throttle control regulates the engine speed, and thereby also the rotation speed of the blades.

To increase or reduce the engine speed the control is moved forwards or backwards.

Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there is a risk of carbon build-up on the spark plugs.

Choke lever

The choke lever is used for cold starting and to give the engine a richer fuel mixture.

For cold starting the lever is moved backwards to its end position.

Chronometer

The chronometer shows how many hours the engine has been running. Any time when the engine is not running but the ignition is switched on is not registered. The last digit shows tenths of an hour (6 minutes).
