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(s) could fracture and
come apart.

When you need to leave the mower for any reason, move the throttle
to SLOW, then turn the engine OFF by releasing the flywheel
