HOW TO USE
THE THROTTLE / CHOKE CONTROL
CAUTION: Always operate the engine with the throttle control
in the FAST position. If the engine runs for several minutes at
slower than the FAST position, the engine and transmission
will overheat and can be damaged.
Use the throttle/choke control to choke the engine for cold starts
and increase or decrease the speed of the engine (see Figure 6).
1. Move the throttle/choke control completely forward to the
CHOKE position to start a cold engine.
2.
The FAST position is marked with a detent. For normal opera-
tion and when using a grass bagger, move the throttle control
to the FAST position. For maximum charging of the battery and
for a cooler running engine, operate the engine in the FAST
position.
3. For transport and to tow pull behind attachments, control the
ground speed with the speed control pedal.
