CONTROLS

7. Ignition Switch

8. Choke Control

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

The Throttle control is equipped with a choke detent. Pressing the throttle control all of the way forward will choke the engine. For full throttle, press throttle control forward until you feel the choke detent.

9. 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.
