DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS
Throttle Lever
The throttle lever controls engine speed and tiller
tine rotation.
Pulling the throttle lever towards the grip increases
the engine speed which causes the tines to turn.
Releasing the throttle lever reduces engine speed
and stops the tiller tines from turning.
The tiller will have the greatest tilling force at
maximum engine speed. At idle, the tilling tines
should stop rotating.
Engine Switch
The engine switch controls the ignition system.
The engine switch must be in the ON position for
the engine to start and run. Moving the engine
switch to the OFF position stops the engine.
Choke Lever
The choke lever opens and closes the choke valve
in the carburetor.
The CLOSED position enriches the fuel mixture for
starting a cold engine. The OPEN position
provides the correct fuel mixture for operation after
starting, and for restarting a warm engine.
Priming Bulb
Pressing the priming bulb pumps fuel from the fuel
tank to the carburetor. This procedure is necessary
for starting a cold engine and after refueling an
engine that has run out of fuel.
To ensure that fuel has reached the carburetor,
press the priming bulb repeatedly until fuel can be
seen in the clear-plastic fuel-return tube.
