CONTROLS
Choke Control
The choke control is used for cold starts to
provide the engine with a richer fuel mixture.
For cold starts, pull the control up.
Blade Switch
To engage the mower deck blades, pull the knob
up; the blades are disengaged when the knob is
pressed down.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is placed on the control panel
and is used to start and stop the engine. On
models equipped with headlights, turn the key
clockwise to ACCESSORY for headlight use.
Service Meter
The service meter displays the total number of
hours the engine has run and indicates when the
engine and mower need servicing.
After every 50 hours of operation, an oil can icon
will appear and stay on for two hours, before
an automatic reset occurs. To manually reset
the meter, turn the key off and on five times at
one second intervals. To service the engine and
mower, see the Service Journal of this manual.
Note: The service meter operates (clocks hours)
only when the engine is running. Be sure to turn
the key off when the unit is not in use, to prevent
meter hours from accumulating.
Throttle Control
The throttle control regulates the engine speed
and the rate of rotation of the blades, assuming
the blade switch is pulled out.
To increase or decrease the engine speed, the
control is moved forward or back respectively.
Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there
is a risk of fouling the spark plugs. USE FULL
THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for best mower
performance and battery charging.
