OPERATING THE CONTROLS FOR MOWING

Throttle Lever

For best cut quality, always mow with the throttle lever in the position.
HIGH
When the blade rotates 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.
When you need to leave the mower for any reason, always turn the engine
OFF by releasing the flywheel brake lever.

Flywheel Brake Lever

The lever must be pushed forward against the handlebar to start the
engine. If the lever is released backward from the handlebar, the starter
grip can not be pulled because the flywheel brake hold the flywheel.
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.
