Controls
Please take a moment and familiarize
yourself with the name, location, and
function of these controls so that you
will better understand the safety and
operating instructions provided in this
manual.
Ground Speed Control Levers
These levers control the ground speed of the mower.
The left and right levers are tied together so you can
operate either lever to control the mower’s ground
speed.
Moving a lever forward to “F” increases the
FORWARD speed of the mower. Moving a lever back
to “R” increases the REVERSE speed. Moving the
levers to to “N” neutral position stops mower travel.
Note: The further a lever is moved away from the
neutral position the faster the mower will travel.
Ignition Switch
Rotate the key switch to the ON position before
pulling on the starter rope. Turn the key to STOP to
stop the engine.
Throttle Control
Pulling the round choke control knob (D) out fully
chokes the engine for cold starts. (A warm engine
may not require choking.) Moving the throttle control
(C) fully forward is FULL throttle position. Always
operate the unit at FULL throttle when mowing.
Choke
Close the choke for cold starting. Open the choke
once the engine starts. A warm engine may not
require choking. Pull the knob UP to close the choke.
Push to knob DOWN to open the choke.
