Controls

Ignition Switch (Fig. 5)—The ignition switch, which is
used to start and stop the engine, has three positions: OFF,
ON and START. Rotate key clockwise—START posi-
tion—to engage starter motor. Release key when the
engine starts. The key will automatically return to the ON
position. To shut the engine off, rotate key counter-
clock–wise to the OFF position.
Choke (Fig. 5)—To start a cold engine, close the carbure-
tor choke by pulling the choke control outward to the ON
position. After the engine starts, regulate the choke to
keep the engine running smoothly. As soon as possible,
open the choke by pushing it inward to the OFF position.
A warm engine requires little or no choking.

Throttle (Fig. 5)—The throttle is used to operate the
engine at various speeds. Moving the throttle upward
increases engine speed—FAST; rearward decreases engine
speed—SLOW. The throttle controls the speed of the cor-
ing head and, in conjunction with traction clutch, controls
the ground speed of the machine.
Gear Shift Lever (Fig. 5)—The transmission has two for-
ward speeds, neutral and reverse, and has an inline shaft
pattern. Do not shift while unit is moving, because trans-
mission damage may occur.
