8CONTROLS & EQUIPMENTDESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS

Throttle Lever

The throttle lever controls engine speed and tiller tine
rotation.
Pulling the throttle lever towards the grip increases the
engine speed which causes the tines to turn.
Releasing the throttle lever reduces engine speed and
stops the tiller tines from turning.
The tiller will have the greatest tilling force at maximum
engine speed. At idle, the tilling tines should stop
rotating.

Engine Switch

The engine switch controls the ignition system.
The engine switch must be in the ON position for the
engine to start and run. Moving the engine switch to
the OFF position stops the engine.

Choke Lever

The choke lever opens and closes the choke valve in
the carburetor.
The CLOSED () position (choke lever up) enriches
the fuel mixture for starting a cold engine. The OPEN
position (choke lever down) provides the correct fuel
mixture for operation after starting, and for restarting a
warm engine.

Priming Bulb

Pressing the priming bulb pumps fuel from the fuel
tank to the carburetor. This procedure is necessary for
starting a cold engine and after refueling an engine
that has run out of fuel.
To ensure that fuel has reached the carburetor, press
the priming bulb repeatedly until fuel can be seen in
the clear plastic fuel-return tube.
