Ignition Switch
The ignition switch has three positions, Off, Run and Start.
The key will turn to Start and move back to Run upon release.
Turning the key to the Off position will stop the engine;
however, always remove the key when leaving the machine
to prevent someone from accidentally starting the engine
(Figure 5).
Throttle/Choke Control
The throttle and choke is combined into one control lever.
The throttle controls the engine speed and it has a continuous
variable setting from Slow to Fast. Engage the choke by
moving the lever past the Fast setting until it stops (Figure 5).
Blade Control Switch (Power Take-Off)
The blade control switch, represented by a power take-off
(PTO) symbol, engages and disengages power to the mower
blades (Figure 5).
