CHOKE LEVER
Choke Lever
The choke lever opens and closes the choke
valve.
The CLOSED.position enriches the fuel mixture
for starting a cold engine.
The OPEN position provides the correct fuel
mixture for operation after starting, and for
restarting a warm engine.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch controls the ignition system.
The ignition switch button must be in the ON ( I )
position for the engine to start and run.
Moving the ignition switch button to the OFF (0)
position stops the engine.
Operator Presence Lever
The operator presence lever blocks the throttle
trigger. This safety feature prevents unintentional
throttle operation if the trimmer is bumped while
the operator's hand is not on the control handle.
When the operator presses the presence lever by
gripping the control handle, the trigger moves
freely.
Throttle Trigger
The throttle trigger controls engine speed.
Pulling the throttle trigger toward the grip
increases engine speed. The trimmer will have
the greatest cutting force at maximum engine
speed.
Releasing the throttle trigger reduces engine
speed. At idle, the cutting-line head or blade
should coast to a stop.
