Throttle Control
The throttle control regulates the engine speed and thereby
the rate of rotation of the blades, assuming the blade switch is
pulled out, see Engaging the Mower Deck.
To increase or decrease the engine speed, the control is
moved forward or back respectively.
Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there is a risk
of fouling the spark plugs. USE FULL THROTTLE WHEN
MOWING, for best mower performance and battery charging.
Blade Switch
To engage the mower deck, pull the knob out; mower blades
are disengaged when the knob is pressed down.

Service Minder
The service minder displays the total number of hours the
engine has run and indicates when the engine and mower
need servicing.
After every 50 hours of operation, an oil can icon will appear
and stay on for two hours, before an automatic reset occurs.
To service the engine and mower, see the Service Journal of
this manual.
NOTE: The service minder operates (clocks hours) only when
the engine is running.
Choke Control
The choke control is used for cold starts to provide the engine
with a richer fuel mixture.
For cold starts the control should be pulled up.
