OPERATING THE CONTROLS FOR MOWING
Throttle Lever
For best cut quality, always mow
with the throttle lever in the FAST
position. When the blade rotates
at the preset fast speed, it creates
a strong fan action that lifts and
cuts grass more efficiently. Do not
try to increase the preset engine
speed, the blade could fracture
and come apart.
When you need to empty the
grass bag or leave the mower for
any reason, move the throttle
lever to the FUEL VALVE OFF
position.
Flywheel Brake Lever
The lever must be pulled back
against the handlebar to start the
engine. The blade starts to rotate
when the lever is pulled back
against the handlebar and the
recoil starter grip is pulled.
Continue to hold the lever against
the handlebar to keep the engine
running and the blade rotating.
Release the lever to stop the
engine and stop blade rotation.
