Electric PTO (Power Take-Off) Switch

The PTO switch is located on the right control panel and it is used to control the engagement of the cutting blades. When the switch is up, the cutting blades are engaged. When the switch is down, the cutting blades are disengaged. See Figure 1 and Figure 2.

NOTE: The PTO switch must be in the disengaged (OFF) position when starting the engine, when shifting into reverse, and when the operator leaves the seat.

Throttle Lever and Choke Lever

The choke lever is located on the left control panel. Activating the choke control closes the choke plate on the carburetor and aids in starting the engine during initial or cold engine start-up. During normal operation the choke lever should be in the OFF position. Push the lever forward to turn choke on and pull choke lever back to turn choke off. See Figure 1 and Figure 3.

The throttle lever is also located on the left control panel and it is used to regulate the engine speed. To get maximum efficiency from cutting, the throttle should be in the FAST position when operating the mower. Push the throttle lever forward for faster engine speed and pull lever back for slower engine speed. See Figure 3.
