PART THROTTLE FUNCTION (RX):
It is possible to set the engine for part throttle operation using
the dial on the side of the throttle handle. Turn the dial up to
decrease the part throttle rpm. Turn the dial down to increase
the part throttle rpm. When you have set the part throttle rpm
you will feel increased resistance when you press the throttle
trigger. This increased resistance makes it easier to maintain
a constant part throttle setting. To obtain full throttle, press the
throttle trigger a little harder so that it goes past the part
throttle setting. As soon as you release the throttle trigger the
engine will return to idle. The part throttle function does not
lock the engine at a given rpm, it is simply a brake that makes
it easier to maintain the engine at a given rpm.

STARTING AND STOPPING
Starting
Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your left
hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). Grip the starter handle,
slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until you feel
some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now quickly and
powerfully pull the cord.
Reset the choke control as soon as the engine fires and
repeat until the engine starts. When the engine starts, quickly
apply full throttle; the throttle will automatically disengage
from the start setting. Never twist the starter cord around
your hand.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do
not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended.
This can damage the machine.
Heated handles (345FXT)
Models equipped with heating elements in the handles have
an on/off switch on the throttle handle to control the heat. Both
the left and right handles have heating elements that
automatically maintain a temperature of roughly 70° when the
heat is turned on.
