CONTROLS
Choke control
The choke control is used for cold starts to provide the engine with a richer fuel mixture.
For cold starts, pull the control out to its extent.
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.
Lifting Lever for the Mower Deck
The lifting lever is used to place the mower deck in the transport position or one of the 17 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 illustration) with the supplied pin.
•Pull the lever backward to the locked position to engage the transport position. The deck is then fully raised.
•To lower, squeeze the lock handle up to the lifting lever while moving the lever forward. When the lever meets the set peg, the desired height is set.
•The lifting lever can also be used to temporarily adjust the cutting height, such as when passing over a minor bump in the lawn.
