4.1.6 Throttle-Choke-Kill Control (12.5 HP Kawasaki and Kohler engines):
The throttle-choke-kill control lever is located on the control console right side.
Choke aids in starting a cold engine. The choke control is a part of the throttle
control and activates by moving the throttle control lever to the full forward
position. You will notice a detent at the "full throttle" position (approximately 3/4"
(2 cm) from top of slot) continue pushing forward into the "choke" position.
Once the engine has started, move the throttle control lever to the midway point
and allow the engine to warm-up before going to full throttle.
All 12.5 HP Kawasaki and Kohler engines are equipped with "throttle kill" as a
standard feature. Moving the throttle control lever to the full rear position will kill
the engine. You will notice the control lever will fall into a detent at the idle
position, continuing rearward past this detent will shut off the engine.
4.1.7 Throttle Control (15 HP Kawasaki engines): The throttle control is located on the
control console right side. The throttle is used to control engine speed. Moving
the throttle control forward will increase engine speed and moving it to the rear will
decrease engine speed.
4.1.8 Choke Control (15 HP Kawasaki engines):
Choke aids in starting a cold engine.
The choke control is located on the front left corner of the fuel tank support and is
activated by pulling the control outward.
Once the engine has started, move the choke control to the off position and
move the throttle to the medium or full throttle position. DO NOT run the engine
wit the choke in the "ON" position.
