CONTROLS
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.

The hour meter displays the total operating time.
