OPERATING THE CONTROLS FOR MOWING
Throttle Lever
For best cut quality, always mow
with the throttle lever in the FAST
position. When the blades rotate
at the preset fast speed, it creates
a strong fan action that lifts and
cuts grass more efficiently. Do not
try to increase the preset engine
speed: the blade could fracture
and come apart.
Flywheel Brake Lever
The lever must be pushed
forward against the handlebar to
start the engine. The blade starts
to rotate when the lever is pushed
forward against the handlebar
and the recoil starter grip is
pulled.
Continue to hold the lever against
the handlebar to keep the engine
running and the blade rotating.
Release the lever to stop the
engine and stop blade rotation.
