Control Functions
The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and mowing
require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination and sequence
of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.
Throttle/Choke Control
(Single Lever Models)
The throttle/choke lever controls engine speed and choke.
Move the throttle forward to increase engine speed and back to
decrease engine speed. Always operate at FULL throttle.
Move the control fully forward (past the detent) to close the
choke. Close the choke for cold starting. Open the choke once
the engine starts. A warm engine may not require choking.
