OPERATION

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.
