CONTROL IDENTIFICATION, LOCATION, AND FUNCTION
Operating Controls
CAUTION
Before operating the mower, become familiar with the location and function of all operator controls. Knowing the location, function, and operation of these controls is important for safe and efficient operation of the mower.
Engine Choke - (Model MT and MTL only)
The choke control lever (black knob) is located on the left side of the seat. To start a cold engine, move the choke control forward to the ON position. After engine starts, move the choke control toward the OFF position, keeping enough choke to allow the engine to run smoothly as it warms up. As soon as possible, move the choke to the OFF position. A warm engine requires little or no choke for starting.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the choke is in the OFF position during normal engine operation; running with the choke in the ON position CAN damage the engine.
