CONTROLS
5. Choke and Throttle Control
Choke Control
The choke control is combined with the throttle control. To engage the choke, the throttle control is moved past the max rpm setting to its choke position.
Do not use the choke when starting a warm engine.
Throttle Control
The throttle control regulates the engine speed and thereby the rate of rotation of the blades, assuming the control for engaging the mower deck is pulled forward, 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 longer periods, as there is a risk of the spark plugs fouling.
USE FULL THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for best mower performance.
