Ignition Switch
The ignition key is placed on the driver’s panel and is
used to start and stop the engine.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not run the starter for more than ve
seconds each time. If the engine does not
start, wait about 10 seconds before retrying.
Choke Control
The choke is used for cold starts to provide the
engine with a richer fuel mixture. Pull the choke
control knob up. On models without a separate choke,
push the throttle control all the way forward to the
choke position.
Throttle Control
The throttle control regulates the engine speed and
thereby the rate of rotation of the blades, assuming
the blade switch is pulled out, see Engaging the
Mower Deck.
In order to increase or decrease the engine speed,
the control is moved.
Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there is a
risk of fouling the spark plug.
USE FULL THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for best
