PRESENTATION
Choke Control
The choke control is used for cold starts in order to provide the engine with a richer fuel mixture.
For cold starts the control shall be pulled out.
Throttle Control
The throttle control regulates the engine speed and thereby even the rate of rotation of the blades, assuming the control for engaging the mower deck 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 longer periods, as there is a risk of the spark plugs gaining a coating.
Use full throttle when mowing.
Ignition Lock
The ignition key is placed on the driver’s panel and is used to start the machine.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not run the start motor for more than five seconds each time. If the engine does not start, wait about 10 seconds before re- trying.
