Throttle Control
Blade Switch
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.
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.
To engage the mower deck blades, pull the knob up; the
mower blades are disengaged when the knob is pushed down.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is placed on the control panel and is used
to start and stop the engine.
