Cutting Height Adjuster
The deck cutting height is obtained by pressing
the button on the lift lever and pulling backward
to lift the deck. To lower the deck, push button on
the lift lever and push forward allowing the deck
to lower to the correct cutting height. The cutting
height range is from 1½" (38mm) to 4" (102mm) in ½
(13mm) increments. The heights are measured from
the ground up to the blade tip with the engine not
running.

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 forward or back respectively.
Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there is a
risk of fouling the spark plugs.
USE FULL THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for best
mower performance and battery charging.

Choke Control
The choke control is used for cold starts in order to
provide the engine with a richer fuel mixture.
for cold starts the control should be pushed to the on
position.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
In order to obtain an even cutting height it is
important that the air pressure in all four tires
is the same 15 psi (1 bar).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Always use the high position to transport.
