CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and mowing require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination and sequence of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.

Note: The further a lever is moved away from the neutral position the faster the mower will travel.

C. Throttle Control

The throttle controls engine speed. Move the throttle for- ward to increase engine speed and back to decrease engine speed. Always operate at FULL throttle.
