CONTROLS
7. Throttle Control and Choke Control
Choke Control
The choke control is used for cold starts to provide the engine with a richer fuel mixture.
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.

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 “8. Blade |
|
Engagement Lever” on page 18. |
|
In order to increase or decrease the engine |
|
speed, the control is moved forward or |
|
backward respectively. |
|
Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as |
|
there is a risk of the spark plugs fouling. |
|
USE FULL THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for |
|
best mower performance. |

8. Blade Engagement Lever
The blade engagement lever is on the left support by the control panel.
In order to engage the blades, push the lever forward. The blades are disengaged when the lever is pulled backward.
The blade engagement lever needs to be adjusted so the lever does not come in contact with control panel when the lever is in the off position.
