Engine Throttle/Choke

The throttle/choke control lever (red knob) is located
to the left hand side of the operator's control panel.
This control is a dual-functioning control (choke and
throttle). The control is equipped with a detent be-
tween the choke position (full forward) and the throt-
tle control range.
To start a cold engine, push the control to the
CHOKE position. After the engine starts, pull the
control back past the detent into the THROTTLE
CONTROL range. A warm engine requires little or
no choke for starting.
Moving the lever forward into the FAST position in-
creases engine speed; moving it backward toward
the IDLE position decreases engine speed.
