CONTROL IDENTIFICATION, LOCATION, AND
FUNCTION

Operating Controls

Engine Throttle/Choke

The throttle/choke control lever (red knob) is located
to the left hand side of the operator’s control panel.
This control is a dual-functioning control (choke and
throttle). The control is equipped with a detent be-
tween the choke position (full forward) and the throt-
tle control range.

To start a cold engine, push the control to the
CHOKE position. After the engine starts, pull the
control back past the detent into the THROTTLE
CONTROL
range. A warm engine requires little or
no choke for starting.

Moving the lever forward into the FAST position in-
creases
engine speed; moving it backward toward
the IDLE position decreases engine speed.

CAUTION

Before operating the mower, become fa-
miliar with the location and function of
all operator controls. Knowing the loca-
tion, function, and operation of these
controls is important for safe and effi-
cient operation of the mower.
