CONTROLS
13. 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 downward or upward 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.
14. Lifting Lever for the Mower Deck
The lifting lever is used to place the mower deck in the transport position or one of the 14 different cutting height positions.
The cutting height is set by placing a peg in the hole for the desired cutting height and the peg is then locked on the inside (hidden in the illustration) with the supplied pin.
1.Pull the lever backward to the locked position to engage the transport position. The deck is then raised.
2.Depress the lock handle, counter hold, and move the lifting lever forward toward the peg to engage the set cutting height. The deck is then lowered.
3.The lifting lever can also be used to temporarily adjust the cutting height, such as when passing a minor bump in the lawn.
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).
