CONTROLS
7. Ignition Switch
The ignition key is placed on the driver’s panel and is used to start and stop the engine.

8. Choke Control
The choke mode is used for cold starts in order to provide the engine with a richer fuel mixture.
For cold starts the control should be pulled out.
9. 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.
Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there is a risk of fouling the spark plug.
USE FULL THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for best mower performance and battery charging.
